In that one Macklemore song. For a long while I thought he was singing “So we put our hands up like the silly can holders” instead of “like the ceiling can’t hold us”
Don’t go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and “straits” your used to
Which makes so much more sense. Why would you say “lakes”. You already said river, which is a moving body of water. Why are we changing it from a moving body of water to a non-moving one? Isn’t it supposed to be a metaphor for not being able to chase a water fall because it’s impossible. But you can follow a strait or river, which is just another progression of life. Lakes have no progress. And yes I consider a passage way for water progression.
I used to think they said “it’s too late for Papa Johns.” I have told my friends and family and they can’t hear the original lyrics anymore. Every time I hear that song that is what I hear.
I saw a local (Aussie) punk band once and thought they were singing about “titties and cheesecake”, turns out it was “tinnies on tuesday“. Needless to say I was pretty disappointed. They were perhaps more disappointed when I told them in the beer garden after the show. I still wish for titties and cheesecake.
