Context is a powerful thing

Also I got distracted while listening to "Shades of Grey" trying to hear the thorns, and it reminded me of another thing that happened a while back:

Rhythmbox: There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground--


Me: Wait, hang on. That sounded *different*. That "throws" right there, like it was distinctly throwing and not freezing. Try that again. *rewinds*

Rhythmbox: There's a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you're around
I swear that you could hear it, it makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground--


Me: *rewinds*

Rhythmbox: --it makes such an almighty sound
There's a drumming noise inside my head that throws me to the ground--


Me: *rewinds*

Rhythmbox: --that froze-- --that froze-- --that froze--

Me: Huh. I bet it's because the rest of the verse is in present tense.
