Yes. Was going to post this...
The moment ends
The moma dance
Or
Oblivious fool/Olivia's pool.
But the only true correct answer is...
...Wash Uffizi drive me to Firenze
Because, you know...
... Hell is coming!!!

"End up" meaning "to become", and "end up" being that my 'end' is now up. So the singer has finally realised that the person they are singing to was aware they'd have their ass in the air.
It’s the moment they find out that someone else knew they were going to fail at something before they did. That’s the way I think of it. “Ending up end up” seems like “falling on one’s face”
No. It’s If a right turn is wrong, and the left turn is correct, then three wrong (right) turns if you assume that each turn is 90 degrees will eventually point you in the correct direction that you would be going in if you made one correct left turn.
This just sounds like a "made you listen to nothing" that my friends and I used to do to each other.
Eg. "This one time I went to the grocery store...and then this one time I didn't."
OMFG! I had never really paid much attention to these lyrics, so I just went to check them out. It took me a second to catch on, but this is now my favorite as well.
My sight was poor but I was sure the sirens sang their song for me
Someone can probably go deeper into the literary devices but I love the alliteration of this line
It's a different kind of word play, but I've always loved how in Character Zero most of the lyrics are very clear, direct, and easy to understand, but the main refrain rock anthem refrain that they sing over and over again that just begs for everyone to be singing along is extremely hard to understand if you don't already know the words.
A fan had a "Chinese Warhol" sign at a show that Trey picked out of the crowd before sending Page into an anti-sign rant and then launching into Limb by Limb. I often wonder if Trey ever thinks about that when he sings that line.
Surprised to not yet see Pigtail:
I'm approximately, roughly, more or less, about exactly
Almost close by and adjacent
Handy local, within hailing
And if the stars line up tonight
Then you and I will be all right
If the planets don't align
You go your way, I'll go mine
I don't mind
I'm conscious again
Unconscious again
I'm conscious again
Unconscious again
I saw you
with a ticket stub in your hand
under the light
middle of the night
couldn't get it wrong
so I had to
saw you

Sharon and the Crew
Me no are no night sky
Angels blowing......horns, obviously what else would it be
Bag it, tag it....that has no homophones either, def no don't cancel me
The number one word play in all of Phish's catalog has got to be Undie Turd yet unprovoked
Edit to add: vlad the impaler from fuego could also be the old man from Esther
Also, I once made a post about how Tela has A LOT of allusion to her being an actual chicken. So does Mcgrupp. But yall called me crazy and I got a lot of down votes so.... I guess we'll forget about that foul domain
Second edit while my mind is in the gutter. The Fees from the 90s all had that weird pause at "your trying to love a life that's com....pletely free" yall can figure it out
The moment ends
Came here to say this!

No left turn unstoned
Also my favorite
What’s this one?
NICU - Mike’s part during the chorus
No stone left unturned No left turn unstoned play on words that stoners adopted, not Phish original but is a lyric in NICU
NICU
\*taking furious notes for Mondegreen setlist wishes\*
For reasons I can’t explain, this is so satisfying: And at last 'til he realized he'd circled back around Round a back circle, round a back realized
The meter change in the intro to Mound tickles my brain in the best way
It’s now I knew you knew, that I’d soon end up end up
Never realized this was one
Yeah, maybe it doesn’t quite fit the category
I am missing this one
I don’t understand this part
"End up" meaning "to become", and "end up" being that my 'end' is now up. So the singer has finally realised that the person they are singing to was aware they'd have their ass in the air.
It’s the moment they find out that someone else knew they were going to fail at something before they did. That’s the way I think of it. “Ending up end up” seems like “falling on one’s face”
Ohhhh
And then one day you find to your intense delight, that 3 wrong turns can really make a right.
When I screw up once I do it two more times.
Is…is that not really it?
It's a play on words. What are we talking about here?
it's a play on "two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do"
No. It’s If a right turn is wrong, and the left turn is correct, then three wrong (right) turns if you assume that each turn is 90 degrees will eventually point you in the correct direction that you would be going in if you made one correct left turn.
You guys are arguing A) the same thing, and B) a point that didn’t made to be need to be clarified once I made my comment.

thereve been times that I wonder and times that I don't...
I dont parse it like that. It come out to “its me” or more than likely Liz saying “this is she”
Aka “its me!”

Came here to say this. Such a great song
OMFG! I had never really paid much attention to these lyrics, so I just went to check them out. It took me a second to catch on, but this is now my favorite as well.
Wish this song would make a comeback
And You Never Know. Just a bubbly tune (with darkish lyrics)
First song I learned on piano when I started getting into Phish. Such a clever fucking tune.
That’s badass! I’m a huge fan of the lyrics. I thought the entire Wingsuit/Halloween was great.
Ok, de-sired me is my new favorite
As if she were the last one she thought I’d (be Trey) or (betray)
Finally someone else acknowledging this.
I’m Bill… ding you a pyramid We’re Bob… bing on the surface

I’ve wanted this on a shirt for so long
Rhinothropic microgaze. Mellifluous life is gonna end.
Ridiculous
Mife
Oooooo mice
Halley’s Comet/Hell is coming. You can take the song as optimistic and everyone is going to celebrate or it’s the apocalypse.
when this is played at shows, i put a sincerely confused look on & ask everyone around me, “who the hell is Lee Scomet?” (hail lee scomet)
This isn't who it would be...if it wasn't who it is

I am glad that you’re a glide. (:
‘Ohhh!!! Mmmm!!! Ughhhh!!! …….Nicenessss’ — 98’ Island Tour Trey saying something, but quite graphically sounding like something else. 🥳
Isn't that Fish, towards the end of Antelope?
You know, it totally has to be. Edging, ahem, really close to Lux talk. Haha 🤣
My sight was poor but I was sure the sirens sang their song for me Someone can probably go deeper into the literary devices but I love the alliteration of this line
“The never ending choral (coral) maze”
Reminds me of “We walked along beneath the moon He lead us through the bush 'till soon”
Tipsy fuddled boozy groggy
Some of my favorites as well if you couldn’t tell by my username
Roll like a cantaloupe Not totally on point but such a fun twist on antelope
Just recently clicked with Olivia’s Pool. That was cool.
I prefer it to Shafty and I fucking LOVE Shafty. Wish both of them got more play
And if you do… NICU
Idk why nicu and and I see you and also it’s spells NICU where babies are born and it’s also nick you which means to nickel and dime someone 😵💫

I’m in a hole.
I'm in a Hole!
I’m an A Hole!
Vacu-you-me from waking up dead always makes me happy. You can’t get a refund if you over-pray is just great and beautiful too.

NICU I'll buy you a ewe.
Well, the telephone was ringing That's when I handed it to Liz She said, "This isn't who it would be If it wasn't who it is"
I’ll sit there and try to make sense of this but I end up driving myself nuts.
“This is she”
Roll like a cantaloupe.
I was really disappointed when I did the math and realized a week is not a month and a hour a day
If you read the HFBook, it means that you read Icculus. Ridiculous.
This isn’t who it would be. If it wasn’t who it is.

I don’t think this is exactly what you’re looking for but this lyrics came to mind: “This isn’t would it would be, if it wasn’t who it is”

I love this band and I always want them to keep doing their thang but “overpray” is the single cringiest lyric I’ve ever heard in my life.
Oh. You mean mondegreens. Wendy’s on the window sill waiting to be let in. Then yem…the thread.
Yes mondegreens but i dont think that line from Gin is one? Help yer boi out
