First time I heard Get Free, I thought she was saying "out of the blah, into the moo" 

OMG LOLLL I’m definitely singing it like this from now on  

 

Out of the blah (OUT OF THE BLAH)
Into the moo (INTO THE MOO)

I wanted to ask this one too because if I remember correctly in Milan or Rome when she sang it live she seemed to be kicking a ball and she clearly said "calciatore" 

Like for example here at 1.05

All the official lyrics say

"Cacciatore" though so we'll never know..

Pretty sure it's 'Cacciatore', it means 'hunter'. 'Calciatore' means footballer/soccer player

In Salvatore, she sings "Ah ah ah ah, Ah ah ah ah, Salvatore" or "Ah ah ah ah, Ah ah ah ah, Cacciatore" or even "Ah ah ah ah, Ah ah ah ah, Calciatore"?

I hear Cacciatore and that makes the most sense. Cacciatore means "hunter" and salvatore "savior" so it creates a nice contrast...soccer player/savior on the other hand 

I used to talk to Lana in DMs and she confirmed the lyrics for me. It's calciatore:

The official lyrics for Fuck It I Love You are:

"Jazz is in my veins, running out of time"

Also the official Boarding School lyrics are here, which used to cause heated discussions

Oh thanks 

[honeybadger 40,620]

i'm kinda glad it's calciatore and not cacciatore because i would always think of chicken cacciatore.... 

 

i also always heard the bridge as:

 

and so i's (i was) wondering nothing waiting for you

all this time i adore you can't you see i meant for me

and so i saaa did have been cold without you

i was so long not to tell a metejine tangerine dreams

 

which is.... so far from the actual lyrics  i would just sing the sounds and not know what i was actually saying... embarassing

[americangothic 1,691]

So, we can conclude that in 'Salvatore' the word is 'Calciatore', right? Thanks @Eclipse <3

 

Oh, how I wish we could have the chance to ask Lana what are the official lyrics to some of her songs. It irks me when in meet & greets fans waste the opportunity to ask her the real questions. 'Lana, what the fuck are you saying in the bridge of Cherry?', for instance. 

 

I truly WISH she released a book of her lyrics (something like Florence's 'Useless Magic') — it's not like she's the one who's going to write them from scratch, she just has to proofread them and detect the mistakes and ask someone to edit them and call it a day. Smh.

Kinda like how fans post on her Instagram or Twitter feed saying “love you” all the time. Damn people can’t ya’ll come up with sumn else? Sumn eye catching like “eh you’re alright I suppose”

And a bonus, my preference for West Coast is “he’s crazy y cubano como yo my love” even though I’m pretty sure it’s “la la” which sounds like sis couldn’t come up with two extra syllables 

 

In the studio acapella of West Coast it's clearly "la la" and I hate it. I just keep singing "my love" and pretend I don't know better

[Serene Queen 4,786]

For the longest time I thought “te deseo cariño” in West Coast was “they ain’t seen Yo Gotti”

Yep! Although it would be very LDR of her to feature Coca Cola in another song, this lyric feature Coco Cool, AKA this disgusting sht:

 

COCO COOL???? I'm SURE that in other performances she has said Coca Cola 

[rightofjupiter 16,596]

i can't remember what i thought it was before but "a little party never hurt no one" from art deco was a total surprise to me when i found out that was the line.

[Liz Taylor Blues 18,739]

Is it “I’m a drag and your a whore” which makes sense ore “I’m a dragon your a whore”

[TheBoss 13,507]

I always found funny how universally everyone thought it was "Pabst Blue Ribbon on Ice" in MTWBT, thank God that she singed  "We're ribbons on knots" live in 2017, it makes way more sense in the context of the song.

I feel the need to point out some BTD lyrics I use to hear and sing incorrectly (and I think others did too.) 

 

Summertime Sadness: "Sizzling like a snail" always gave me a funny image, but now we know it's "like a snare."

also I only found out like a couple years ago the bridge says "even if you're gone I'm gonna drive (?)" instead of "try." I use to also think it said "rain is better than never" lmao "even if you're gone I'm gonna dry."

 

Carmen: I use to think it said "buy her tonight, she's still shining." but it's "audio-tune lies (??)"

 

I know for a fact there's more I use to mishear too, but most of them have been mentioned in this thread. It's good to know we all were confused on some of these together lol, instead of just one.

That carmen lyric would honestly make sense because its a song about a prostitute

With my ribbons in knots She changes a lot of the lyrics for that live.

I'm still going to fool myself and still believe it's "We're ribbons on knots" to represent false commitment, she's such a player I love MTWBT with all my heart

The lyrics are "with ribbons in knots" for the studio version and she adds 'my' live and makes it "with my ribbons in knots".

The lyrics goes "so i do what you want with ribbons in knots", her hands are tied up (she gestures live) and she does whatever this guy wants.

[kitschesque 9,882]

"He's got the fire and he walks [...]"??? in Sad Girl

With it? With fame? Who knows
