- Rearrange the Song: "Last Girl" was previously released on an EP, a year before this album's release.
- Self-Empowerment Anthem: "Your Dog" can be seen as one since it talks about freeing yourself from an abusive relationship:I'm not a prop for you to useWhen you're lonely or confusedI want a love that lets me breatheI've been choking on your leash
- Western Zodiac: "Scorpio Rising" is about a character who is "victim of changing planets" in a situation of helplessness.
