Grammar mistakes in foreign song lyrics

Poetic freedom, poetic freedom...

Look, some of us actually work with language for a living, so seeing stuff like that really sticks in our craw... it’s grating, you know? It triggers that same specific kind of twitchy anxiety you get when... I don't know... someone incorrectly wires a water heater... ☕

If linguistics is your field, you really ought to be used to dealing with this kind of thing by now, since it crops up all the time...
Look, English is my first language, so let's not play games here...

ambermason16 said:Give us a break; some of us actually work in linguistics, so this kind of nonsense really sticks out to us.

LMAO.

Personally, it drives me up the wall when I look at a picture and the lines aren't perfectly straight. Like, they weren't drawn with a ruler. It irritates me when circles in paintings aren't made using a compass. It bugs me if an artist doesn't use a protractor while working... I mean, an angle of 89.5° 😲, that is not a real angle. It gets under my skin when colors bleed together, overlapping one another without any sharp borders. It bothers me when someone paints a green sun. Or a square head. Honestly, I don't get why you artists allow yourselves to distort reality like that? 🤷

But seriously. WHY? 🤷

Is it possible to do it with monks?😬

Kevin Chavez3 said:can he pull it off using his BROTHERS 😬

Sure. You just take a brother, dip one of his feet in some paint, and tell him to get to work:



but make sure that foot actually touches the canvas.

I’m afraid that sisters are actually a bit more precise. 🙏

Yeah, you guys are really hitting those high notes today. 🙏 I hope someone actually felt a little sting from that one. 🙏

And maybe they’re just rebranded—like some cheap knockoff version of the Lakers? 🤷

Belinda Carlisle Deep Deep ocean lyrics

i heard you call my name Why do you SIT in silence When there's a whole World waiting | There is Between Thes islands i Lay my Love down to make you this Bridge but When The tide runs out I'm still AT The water's edge there's
Why do you sit in silence
When there's a whole world waiting | there is
Between these islands
I lay my love down to make you this bridge
But when the tide runs out
I'm still at the water's edge
there's a deep deep ocean | there is
I want to find out what you hide inside of that
Deep deep ocean
What's it take for you to be satisfied
you walk alone AT Night sol secretive and quiet i hear The roar of Your heartbeat sol why
So secretive and quiet
I hear the roar of your heartbeat
So why do you deny it
Hold me and show me my love can't be wrong | cannot
And I'll be swept away | I will
By the storm beneath your calm
there's a deep deep ocean | there is
I want to find out what you hide inside of that
Deep deep ocean
What's it take for you to be satisfied | what is
If you keep holdin' back emotion | 😲 holding
One of US might drown in this Deep Deep ocean What's
What's it gonna take | what is it going to
What's it gonna be | what is it going to
When you gonna break and open up to me | hmm... this could be "when are you going to," but I'm not sure because it doesn't say "when're" or anything like that

Okay, I'm exaggerating, and these aren't mistakes like don't mean shit, but whatever.

haha, sorry, none of this are actually mistakes!😂

Oh, come on now... if we actually sat around singing every song with perfect grammar, I honestly don't think even ten percent of them would be worth listening to. Besides, let's be real—how many of us actually speak with perfect grammar in our daily lives anyway?

wearystag58 said:....besides, how many of you actually speak with correct grammar anyway?

God... seriously. 🙂

I have to admit, that overplayed refrain "are we human or are we dancer" is driving me straight toward a breakdown...

Kevin Chavez3 said:honestly, that catchy "are we human or are we dancer" line is driving me straight to the edge

Facts. The whole track does it, but that part specifically. 🤮

That is just too sweet for me 🙂 Sedona, where on earth are we supposed to go now to hug and sing our hearts out? 🙂

Kevin Chavez3 said:I swear, that overplayed "Are we human or are we dancer" chorus is enough to drive anyone to the edge.

Organic? Please. I can't stand it. Not even the concept itself... but every single time I hear that "Are we dancer" line, I feel like a blood vessel in my brain is about to snap.

Has anyone else ever brought up that whole "poetic license" thing?

isuse, how did I miss this thread? 😍 what an absolute disaster 😍
let’s bring grammar back to poetry—seriously. even our national anthem is a mess. is that really what we fought for?? 😁

just like 😠
