1 | * "Pure Love:" |
2 | -->''Hey, what are you doing, my love?'' |
3 | -->''Hey, didn't I just tell you that such a thing would be over and above what's called for in this case?'' |
4 | -->''Pull the ski mask away from your face.'' |
5 | -->''It won't be necessary.'' |
6 | * "Cut Off Their Thumbs" is about a hostage situation that almost surely will not end well. |
7 | * The terrifyingly calm narrator of "Ezekiel 7 and the Permanent Efficacy of Grace." |
8 | -->''"Someone will need to mop this floor for me."'' |
9 | * The live cover of Furniture Huschle's "Terror Song." |
10 | * The last verse of "Autoclave:" |
11 | -->''I dreamt that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls'' |
12 | -->''On a cliff above the ocean, howling wind and shrieking seagulls'' |
13 | -->''And the dream went on forever, one single static frame'' |
14 | -->'''''[[Series/{{Cheers}} Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name]]''''' |
15 | * "New World Emerging Blues" |
16 | -->''[[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt Someday, someday the earth will be black as tar]]'' |
17 | -->''[[DeathWorld Someday the earth will be as black as tar]]'' |
18 | -->''[[WhatYouAreInTheDark And we are gonna see each other the way we truly are]]'' |
19 | * "The Autopsy Garland:" |
20 | -->''You don't want to see these guys without their masks on... or their gloves'' |
21 | ** Understandable when you realize that the guys in question are doctors performing the titular autopsy. |
22 | *** Actually, it's even worse given background context. According to [[WordofGod John's tumblr]] "The song is directly about the death of Judy Garland in London in 1969. Judy Garland met a lot of people throughout her life who treated her badly: who abused her from a very early age. In the hands of these people she never had a chance. These are the people who you do not want to see without masks." |
23 | * "Song For My Stepfather" is just ''horrifying'', especially because of the last verse: |
24 | -->''You can go ahead and hit him'' |
25 | -->''He feels no pain at all'' |
26 | -->''You erase me'' |
27 | -->''You erase me'' |
28 | * The completely unhinged narrator from "Werewolf Gimmick", starting with the very first line. |
29 | -->''I was not there for rehearsal, '''[[BecomingTheMask I don't need it any more...]]''''' |
30 | * "Toolshed", based on one of the alleged Satanic lyrics backmasked into Stairway To Heaven, tells the story of three kids coming into contact with something very, very sinister. |
31 | -->''Back at the school, everyone looks like the enemy'' |
32 | -->''And we couldn't sleep'' |
33 | -->''[[HearingVoices And I had the voices inside of me]]'' |
34 | * "No Children" is a downer from start to finish, but the second verse is the bottom: |
35 | -->''I hope it stays dark forever'' |
36 | -->''I hope the worst isn't over'' |
37 | -->''And I hope you blink before I do'' |
38 | -->''And I hope I never get sober'' |
39 | -->''And I hope when you think of me years down the line, you can't find one good thing to say'' |
40 | -->''And I hope that if I found the strength to walk out, you'd stay the hell out of my way!'' |
41 | * "'Family Happiness'" is very clearly taking place moments before something horrible happens. |
42 | -->''Look at the person I've turned into, tell me how do you like him now?'' |
43 | -->''No standards of any kind to break, no creeds to disavow'' |
44 | -->''I am right here where you want me'' |
45 | -->''Do what you brought me out here for'' |
46 | -->''You can arm me to the teeth'' |
