* FadingIntoTheNextSong: "Sixteen" into "Sunday Morning" on ''Tragic Kingdom''.



* LastNoteNightmare: The title track on ''Tragic Kingdom'' speeds up at the end, until it gets too chaotic for the band to keep up, and the song completely falls apart.



* LyricalDissonance: "Spiderwebs" is a very upbeat song about a StalkerWithACrush who keeps calling Gwen. Apparently it's based on real events.



* PunBasedTitle: ''Tragic Kingdom''. Considering the band's from Anaheim, and Anaheim is the location of the first Ride/{{Disneyland}} theme park...



* StalkerWithACrush: "Spiderwebs" is about Gwen's attempts to avoid one of these.
* StayInTheKitchen: "Just A Girl" was written to show Gwen's frustration with this stereotype.
* TakeThat: "Tragic Kingdom" is a pretty massive one aimed at Disney.
