Death's Hourglass: The music video for "Savin' Me" begins with a twitchy-looking man saving a well-dressed man from walking in front of a car. Pretty soon, the well-dressed man starts to see what the twitchy man saw—numbers over everyone's heads, rapidly counting down . . . (This has absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics of the song.)
Do Not Do This Cool Thing: "Rockstar". Seriously, it was supposed to be a Stealth Parody of the stereotypical rockstar lifestyle, with its intentionally over-the-top lyrics. Except it completely backfired.
Probably because the song does nothing to actually deride the lifestyle. Yeah they say you've got a drug dealer on speed dial or you'll be popping your pills from a Pez dispenser but at the same time, it's describing the big bus you'll be riding around in with your old guitars, getting into the Playboy mansion, or dating a centerfold model and having enough money to let her spend it willy-nilly. No one's going to deny all those things sound awesome. The lyrics are supposed to be over the top but anyone with an ear in modern society knows very well that real-life celebrities will get to enjoy these amenities and a whole lot more too.
Drugs Are Bad: "Just To Get High" and "Worthy To Say"
Motive Rant: "Where do I hide", 'looking for a scapegoat, long past due, walking down the aisle, staring straight at you.' The man who just killed the woman he married so he could kill her is singing about why he framed you. Just listen to how happy he is!
Oh Crap: The main characters' reaction in the last verse of "Animals." He and his girlfriend are in his car getting busy when she realizes that her dad is standing right outside.
