* The first two verses of "The Cure for Pain" are suitably tragic, but in the third the singer implores his former love to "dissolve into [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} the Love who revealed Himself quietly to me]]". Considering all of the feelings of acrimony and bitterness that precede it throughout the album, the sudden shift to genuine goodwill is all the more powerful.
* The acoustic version of "I Never Said That I was Brave" [[HiddenTrack hidden]] in the previous track is gentle, sweet, and [[OutOfGenreExperience utterly unlike any of the other songs on the album]]. On top of the instrumentation being much, much softer than the original, the actual lyrics have been rearranged into a more conventional verse-chorus-verse format that gives its emphasis towards the lines emphasizing the singer's happiness with their former lover rather than their discontentment]]. Instead of condemning the relationship as a doomed failure, the track acts as a quiet celebration of all the good times that they shared with one another.
-->''[[TriumphantReprise No use in saying how I'm sorry\\
So I'm trying not to speak\\
I'll sing in silence as I lay beside you\\
My face against, against your cheek]]''
* The second verse of "Paper-Hanger", in which the singer poetically tells a loved one that he'll be in their dreams to help resolve all of their mental and emotional difficulties and complexities, is rather touching.
* "Carousels" is [[TearJerker quite sad]]...but it still is a GodIsLoveSong at the end of the day, one in which the singer wholeheartedly thanks Him for being his guide through the difficult parts of his life. And there's something oddly sweet about the singer abashedly telling Jesus: "But if You want to stay wherever exactly it is You are, that's okay, too...it's, it's really none of my business".
* The last verse of "Nice and Blue, Pt. 2" inverts the verse of its predecessor both lyrically and tonally; instead of angrily demanding that his lost lover remember him, the singer [[TookALevelInKindness instead gently asks her to forget all about him instead]]. And in general, the far more [[TriumphantReprise upbeat and celebratory tone]] of the track emphasizes that he's no longer bothered by the memories of the love lost.
* It's subtle, but in "C-Minor", one of the last lyrics is "I'd rather never talk again than to continue ''to pretend that this never ends''". In other words, the singer is cognizant of the fact that his problems are ultimately temporary and will eventually pass away.
* The sheer amount of ''enthusiasm'' that all the band members display in the music video for "The Fox, the Crow, and the Cookie" is a joy to watch. Especially consdering just how much of a [[LighterAndSofter tonal]] and [[GenreShift stylistic]] shift the song is from the much grimmer tracks in their previous works.
** The story itself has a very wholesome feeling to it, almost as if it's one relayed from a parent to their child.
* The first verse of "A Stick, a Carrot, & String" is a very sweet retelling of the Nativity, complete with [[TalkingAnimal TalkingAnimals]], while the second is a call to all people to come to Jesus, even if they don't have anything with which to give him.
* "Allah, Allah, Allah" echoes similar sentiments to those in the aforementioned song, with the singer expressing that [[AllLovingHero "There's a love that never changes, no matter what you done"]]. And not only that, he outright invites the listener to join the band themselves, so long as they [[TurnTheOtherCheek "care to sing forgiveness songs"]]. It's overall a beautiful encapsulation of all the themes of the album that expresses the necessity of forgiveness, both on the part of the band and the listener.
