How to use «Misinterpreted» in context?
Misinterpreted lyrics have traditionally been used as a tool to communicate personal thoughts and feelings. For example, a song’s lyrics might be interpreted to symbolize a person’s love for another, or to reveal personal thoughts about a significant other. However, misinterpreted lyrics can also be used as a tool for revenge, or to spread malicious gossip.
Despite the benefits that can come from using misinterpreted lyrics, it’s important to be aware of the risks involved. An innocent person might be mistakenly targeted by someone who is angry or hurt by the lyrics of their loved one’s song.

I didn’t want it to be misinterpreted and look like in any way I was turning my back on John Hughes or those movies because I still think they have tremendous value.
