| 1 | * "Invisible Sun", a song about UsefulNotes/TheTroubles, is arguably their most potent politically-minded song. |
| 2 | * "Every Breath You Take." Fittingly for a song about a stalker, it has an incredibly haunting tune, and is especially meaningful for anyone who's ever gone through a bad break-up. |
| 3 | * "Message in a Bottle" is [[LyricalDissonance a catchy song]] about a castaway on an island, who hopes to find love. A year later, after no response, he despairs -- thinking that he's destined to be alone. He then sees "a hundred billion bottles" on the shore, and realizes that there are more people like him. |
| 4 | * "Don't Stand So Close To Me '86" is already quite melancholy because of the subdued arrangement, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh9Axol_cX4 the music video]] makes things even worse. On top of numerous flashes back to their GloryDays as a live band, the band never appears in the same shot, representing how much their relationship had deteriorated. |
| 5 | * "King of Pain". The title says it all. It overlaps with NightmareFuel, as the song describes a lot of sad and disturbing images, such as a butterfly caught in a spider's web, and a [[Theatre/OedipusTheKing "King on a throne with his eyes torn out"]] |
