As you can see, I thought it was "my dream don't fail" (even tho your version is more grammatically correct, and I tried very very hard to hear an 's' on the end of 'dream' - just to fix it - but I never could hear one!) 
And I originally thought it was " Throw my spike into the ground". Like you, someone else heard "swirled". Even though I listened to it again several times after it was suggested, I still couldn't hear the word "swirled". I explained that I was going to stick with "throw" until I heard otherwise, because I thought it was more in keeping with the act of "driving a stake into the ground" to lay claim to a piece of property, or to define the boundary of a plot of land. (IMO, 'throw' would come closer than 'swirl' to the act of "driving" a stake because it would imply the greater force.)
I never even considered "drove" until I saw the official lyrics, because I was thinking present, not past, tense. But since "drove" actually would be the past tense of "driving" a stake into the ground, my guess is that would be exactly what Jon Is saying (even though it still sounds like 'throw' to my ears). LOL
Without double-checking word for word, I think I agreed with everything else in the official lyrics that are posted; so I'd be kinda hard-pressed to say I have a problem with it.  |
I still hear swirl/swirled but Shank's infamous wall of sound + Jon's less than stellar pronunciation make it very hard to understand clearly. Also, I'm listening to the video and the song on Spotify and don't have quality headphones right now. Maybe that's why I hear "dreams", there seem to be so many effects everywhere, fade ins/echo/whatever pixie dust they sprinkle, it's all muddled. It drives me nuts!
Could anybody be kind enough to separate the vocal track? Is it possible to isolate it with as little effects as possible?
One thing that bugs me about THINFS is that I love Jon's tone much better than in most of the BB tracks, but right now I hear too many effects if I don't sit down in complete silence and concentrate on the song. I hope it will improve once I get the CD, but it used to be much subtle. It sounds too fake and this time I have this feeling it would have sounded much better with a cleaner sound. I hate it when they do this
Edit: Jackie I was trying to PM you but you need to do a little bit of cleaning up
