* "The Tornado" provides a bit of PrimalFear, as it depicts a paperboy out on his route when a tornado touches down. What starts out as a bubbly and upbeat song becomes stressful and dark as our protagonist realizes the only shelter available is a storm drain. Then:
--> And then the nightmare started, it got deafeningly loud
--> Every fiber in me screamed out, but I couldn't make a sound
--> The whirling of a vortex, a violent carousel
--> [[HellIsThatNoise It sounded like a freight train was dragging me to hell]]
--> ''[[SuddenlyShouting And this was my prayer:]]''
--> '' '''"[[MetalScream Save me from this terrible nightmare!]]"''' ''

* Also from "Cave In"; "When the bombs go off, the sun will still be shining / 'cos I've heard it's said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining". This sounds like someone trying to be optimistic as an Atom Bomb is released.

Didn't think [[Music/OwlCity such a peppy, bubbly musician like Adam Young]] could bring some scary stuff to the table, did you? But once you listen closely, the most effervescent of lyrics become [[FridgeHorror absolutely horrific.]]
