This one song has the lyrics "Follow the road, follow the hope, follow the dream" - which I misheard as "Follow the road, follow the hole, follow the tree". Which was really stupid. How the heck are you supposed to follow a hole and a tree? XD It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. XD And it makes about as much sense as the opening lines of the song that goes "I've got a candle/ and I've got a spoon." Best song lyrics ever are the translation of Soramimi Cake. A good line was "'Imagination Cake' was written on the mystical door" - only, of course, in Japanese... Let me see if I can find it. XD And it doesn't help that I find the Japanese pronunciation of "Cake" hilarious. I don't know why, but... it's funny. XD They say "Cakey." And I giggle every single time.

"Lights! Lights! Reading light and beer!" -The Vice, Sonata Arctica, as heard by me.
"Lights (on), Lights (out), read it loud and clear!" -The Vice, actual lyrics
We've got enough weird mishearings on this thread to make an amalgam video of them and put it on Youtube.
Japanese songs translated literally never make sense, but that's one of the worst I've seen. <randomstory> I once listened to one of the songs from the Slayers soundtrack. It took me the entire song to find out the singer was actually speaking English. </randomstory>

Though not necessarily misheard lyrics, in Wild Arms 5 I heard Dean's battle quote "Footwork is everything!" as "Bookmark is everything!" to "Bookwork is everything!" to "Bootwork is everything!" and then finally the right words.
While we're talking video games, I am one of the many people who played Star Ocean and heard "Tear into pieces!" as "Pear into peaches!"

Similar to what Xicrog said... xD Xiv, Rain, Fen and I were playing SSMB this morning. And I admit I have no idea what Ness is saying sometimes. ; A certain quote sounds for all the world like he's saying, "Get higher!" ...... He wants us to do drugs. >.> And I don't think Sora Mimi Cake is supposed to make sense. At all. The opening sequence video that accompanies it... sort of proves that. XDD

I think that's supposed to be PK Fire, Elcie...Ness is impossible to understand though.
Oh dear, I'll have to look that up then. A lot of Sonata misheards make more sense as misheards though.

His voice is all squeaky and he sounds like a four-year-old Korean girl on helium.

More misheard incantations...
In GGX2, I always heard one of Sol's Engrish quotes as "Pancake Dissolver!" I think it was supposed to be Gunflame Revolver. I wasn't that far off.

Epica, Living a Lie...this is pretty bad...
What I heard: Don't you hear me banging you?
What it says: Don't you hear me begging you?

XD Bad Xicrog.
"With birds the shed is so lonely here"- What I heard "With birds I share this lonely view"- What it said.

What I heard: "People sleeping in your shoes."
I'm sure that can't be right, but I don't know the real lyrics... it's that song where the refrain goes "rocking in the free world."

What I heard from Blind Guardian: Once I touch their ankles the man on the phone will appear What Hansi was singing: When I touch the rainbow, the man on the moon will appear
Neither makes the faintest bit of sense.

Speaking of rainbows- What I heard the first time: "Don't feel the rainbow." What I think they're saying now: "Don't fear the reaper."

Rainbows are totally scary. And if you don't believe me, watch Solas Emsu's summon from Wild ARMS 5.

What she said: I'm feeling light! What I heard: I'm failing life!
