I think Genius said "you're always crashing into teeth". What you said makes 153% more sense, though.

I hear "You're special, know the truth" most of the time, but I agree. But also I don't know if any of the lyrics for Slasher Flicks available online are legit- they don't really seem to be. But I obviously don't know.
I've been hearing my name in Goalkeeper, probably just because I'm self-centered. "Stephen dives as he blocks as he kicks as he throws"

Listened to this at 100% volume on very good earbuds and I'm 99% sure it's Ste

If I remember correctly the entire song is about about Avey's cat with a snaggle tooth. So referring to the cat as a special little tooth makes sense to me.

Just here to add another layer of quotes.

Well, I always thought the line from Baby Day as "She's got a half a baby", so I thought the song was a lot darker than it really is. I think the dark sounding synth contributed to this interpretation.
Looking through this thread it's pretty crazy how much I've heard weird stuff the same as everyone else.
I have always heard these for years and still (willingly) don't know the correct lyric for some of these:
"Dan Brown changed the hue of her pants"
"Muffler's black ass"
"Sit on your erection"
"when I'm naked"
"aids aids aids aids"
I guess it might reveal something about me that all my mishearings could be interpreted as sexual lol
One of my favorite experiences though was learning some lyrics to We Tigers. I thought the KATYDID A KATYDID OGRESOGRESOGRES part was just incoherent babbling until recently but it turned out to be some of my favorite imagery on the album, I feel like I'm in a grassy field on a hot summer evening.
Lastly, not necessarily a mishearing but one thing I do hear that I haven't ever seen discussed is on the "deep down" part of Slow Motion. Starting with the sixth time it's repeated, I'm very sure he's saying "kick, foul". The sibilance on the F sound is the most obvious part, but to me I also hear the K sound clearly too. Maybe I have the lyric wrong, but he is definitely saying something other than deep down, or at least pronouncing it completely differently for some reason. There also seems to be a sample of him saying "what" in there, so I don't know. The official lyrics just go from deep down to step up.

I hear "Kick, foul" as well. Panda really likes to twist words around and change them especially live.
I really love how he adds the "oh, I wont let, you get to me" lyric to #1 live. When I listen to the studio version I can't help but hear his live lyrics on top replacing the o's and ahhs.

The part for me where I hear "sycamore" strongest is near the end where he's dragging out the words. I didn't even hear it until yesterday when I popped in MPP for nostalgia.

For daily routine i was hearing "just a signal in my head" (which totally makes sense to me because then the sound sounds like a distorted alarm clock ??)
for loch raven when it's live i hear "let me know before ...?" just the last word I cannot figure. But instead of "I will not give up on you" (panda's line)

I still hear this every time, to the point where it's much more subconsciously embedded in my head than the real lyrics. When I'm absentmindedly singing along in the car, this is often what I sing accidentally
