Misunderstood

When something a person says or something they do in a certain way is naively taken out of context to make it seem like they meant it in a different way.

Person 1: "Michael Jackson was a strange paedophile"
Person 2: No, he was just misunderstood"

Misunderstood

An amazing progressive rock song from the band Dream Theater off of their 6th studio album Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence. The third song on the first disk at 9 min long (rather short for them), delivers experimental chord progressions with a wide range of pedal effects and a soft intro followed up with a distorted chorus and solo with a layered minor 3rds effect. The lyrical meaning matches the theme of the album with psychological disorders describing from the inside a figure who is surrounded by so many in their life (fans, followers), yet are misunderstood and are not actually superhuman as their followers believe. These popular figures (possilby describing John Petrucci himself) feel abandoned in their lives "knowing so many, never really knowing anyone". The time signatures are not as progressive as many of Dream Theater's songs, but do include a 5/4 measure in each chorus lengthening the phrase along with an solo/outro, containing a 3/4 measure shortening the phrase. Dream Theater is one of the greatest bands of all time and surely anyone who is not yet a fan should learn some quick music theory, then listen to their music and absorb the complexity and perfection written into their songs.

misunderstood person

Never gets texted back or called back, always has to text first. Normally alone since people don't want to take the time to know them as a person. Whenever they try to talk to someone they always get brushed off. Normally used for their sensitivity and good will, something that they do in the hopes that someone someday will maybe genuinely like them.

He wasn't trying to fuck you, he just wanted to be friends, he's just a misunderstood person.

I must misunderstand

Used when speaking to someone of a higher rank within an organizational structure, this phrase is an effective means by which to point out that the person senior to you is incorrect with what they say, while avoiding conflict.

I'm sorry, Ian, I must misunderstand. How can you get DoS traffic to flow through the OSRs on it's way to the 7200?
