* IWantSong: “Rockstar”, which is also a RockstarSong (duh), as well as a SanitySlippageSong by the end, since the narrator is popping so many pills he can’t even remember his own lyrics.

->''"Yeah, sure. (laughs) We suck. Our music is terrible. Everyone hates us. Chad Kroeger is the worst singer ever. I've heard it before. We've all heard it before. But you know what? These [-*points to the row of eight platinum records on his wall*-] tell me that '''''someone''''' out there is buying our music. What did what's his name say? 'I'm crying all the way to the bank'?"''

* AllForNothing: Most of "Get 'Em Up" is about thoroughly planning a robbery... that cannot be carried out in the end because the robbers forget to check the calendar.
-->''The only thing I wish that one of us had known \\
That it was Sunday and the goddamn bank was closed''

* HarshVocals: Chad Kroger's signature voice is a combination of this and {{Yarling}}, though subverted in that they're simply very guttural and not at all screechy. What's interesting is that this only applies to his [[SingingVoiceDissonance singing voice and not his normal talking voice]].

* OhCrap: The main characters' reaction in the last verse of "Animals." [[spoiler: He and his girlfriend are in his car [[AutoErotica getting busy]] when she realizes that her dad has found them and is standing right outside. And worse, the keys aren't in the ignition because they fell on the floor while they were in the middle of it, all while he is screaming [[{{BlatantLies}} that it was her mouth he was kissing]]]].

Read the song as a metaphor and not literally a man on a ledge and it fits perfectly.


* DeathsHourglass: The music video for "Savin' Me" begins with a twitchy-looking man saving a well-dressed man from walking in front of a car. Pretty soon, the well-dressed man starts to see what the twitchy man saw: numbers over everyone's heads, rapidly counting down. (This has absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics of the song.)
