--->'''Electra Heart''', are you faux-real?
* AntiLoveSong: "Radioactive."
-->Love is all I fear\\
-->Ready to be let down\\
-->Now I'm heading for a meltdown\\
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: "Teen Idle" has this line, "I want blood, guts, and '''chocolate cake'''." The "chocolate cake" bit is changed to "angel cake" later in the song, but the trope still stands.
* BadassBoast: "Bubblegum Bitch."
--->I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out\\
'Cause that's what young love is all about\\
So pull me closer and kiss me hard\\
I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart.
* BreakUpSong: "Lies" and "Homewrecker" and "I'm A Ruin."
* TheCasanova: Female version in both "Homewrecker" and "How To Be A Heartbreaker".
