** "Hello, Good Night" is [[SurprisinglyGentleSong a shockingly tender and heartfelt song from the band,]] [[AlbumClosure closing off "Vs. The Floating Eye Of Death!"]] with a quiet lullaby about how when things go wrong, it will all go back to normal sometime. The lyrics get into some pretty existential and somber material, discussing one's legacy after they're gone and how "Everybody wants to live, [[DrivenToSuicide some people wanna die.]]"

* HilariousInHindsight: ''Pajamazon,'' a song about the joys of staying in and being lazy was written and recorded months before the 2020 COVID-19 scare, where the public was urged to stay in-doors to prevent infection. An unintended anthem for self-isolation, the song was released early on their Youtube channel, running with the idea.

** "Hot Summer Nights (Won't Last Forever)" is the story of a man who can't take a hint that a woman isn't interested in him after one date. She works out elaborate stories about joining Alaskan expeditions and having multiple identical relatives and he believes every word, hanging onto hope that they'll meet again.

** "Hot Summer Nights (Won't Last Forever)" is the Forever)." At face value it's already sad, a bittersweet story of a man who can't about someone falling in love, but never being able to see their partner again. The song is actually about them being unable to take a the hint that a woman isn't interested in him after one date. She works out elaborate stories about joining Alaskan expeditions and having multiple identical relatives and he believes every word, hanging onto hope that they'll meet again. Silly, but just as heartbreaking.

** Roger from "Hot Summer Nights (Won't Last Forever)" is either a clingy creep who won't take no for an answer, or just a depressingly naive NiceGuy who believes every excuse without question. Notably it's Elizabeth, the object of his affections, who goes to lengths to avoid him while he only tries to call her on the misunderstanding that she's interested in him.
*** Alternatively, what if Elizabeth and her ''identical relatives'' [[RealAfterAll are telling the truth?]] Francine answering the phone as Elizabeth was a real slip of the tongue.

** "Pizza Day!" unexpectedly ends with the protagonist ending up an overweight, unemployed, and lazy mess, stuck reminiscing about the simpler times when he got meals made for him at school.
** "Playdough!" is an upbeat song about nostalgia, the protagonist thinking back to the toys from his childhood and how life just isn't fun any more.
