True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: The meaning behind any song that isn't about [[SillyLoveSongs love]] or [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic spirituality]] is really anyone's guess.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: "Deer In The Headlights" was hyped as a ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' tribute, but doesn't have much more than Adam skateboarding and driving the [=DeLorian=]. Not to mention with his looks, he could easily pass for George [=McFly=].

* NarmCharm: Let's face it, [[TastesLikeDiabetes diabetes never tasted so good]].despite how goofy his songs can be, there is something that makes them all endearing.



* TastesLikeDiabetes: His shameless sentiment is an easy target for critics. "Strawberry Avalanche" seems to mean this literally, being about [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an avalanche of strawberries]] falling from ''candy-coated clouds''.

* FridgeBrilliance: A couple of lyrics have meanings that you need to think a bit about, but there are some pretty clever meanings: ''Fireflies'' has 'I'd like to make myself believe that Planet Earth turns ''slowly'''. The point is that it ''doesn't''; life goes by too fast most of the time.
** One lyric in ''Silhouette'' is 'the more I try to move on, the more I feel alone'. Doesn't this seem to remarkably sum up Adam [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks losing fans over the development in his style]] in the ''Shooting Star EP'' and ''The Midsummer Station''? [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation Of course]], it may very well also/in fact be a reference to Ann Marie.
