Secret Life: They said themselves they had a Be Your Self complex while writing the album
Hook Me Up: Long distance relationships and fame side effects.
Creator Breakdown: In Another Life was recorded while Jess was in tears, obviously over what caused her to create this song and this is heard on the album and makes the song a fan favourite.
Cold is rather personal to Lisa because it's about an abusive relationship she appears to have been in, (see the lyrics) and she's still upset performing it, hence her doing the spoken bits. It's her story to tell, just like In Another Life was Jess'.
Creator Couple: Both of them and their currant and SOME of the past boyfriends have written with, collaborated with them live or added instrumental parts to their albums.(Steve Corgan (Darkness In Me), Tyler Bryrant (Dead Cool Dropouts), Steve Childs (Red 4 U), Reeve Carney) Falls into Dream Team sometimes.
Development Hell: Recording company has been pushing their third album back for almost two years now.
Executive Meddling: The original version of "Hook Me Up" The Album had Don't Say Goodbye instead of the reused b-side "Someone Wake Me Up" as one of the last tracks of the album.
Genre Roulette: Two albums in and have done pop, pop-rock, pop electronic, dance pop, classical pop, 80's inspired pop and RNB.
Intercourse with You: Take Me on the Floor, Untouched, This Love, 4ever, All I Have, I Can't Stay Away, Everything
Stalker with a Crush: One of their exes is implied to turn into one of these right after their relationship ends in This Is how It Feels
You got nothing to say, gettin' in the way
Show up at my house
You're gettin' so obsessive
The guy on the receiving end of Secret also plays this role.
Sugar and Ice Personality: Have a real big take no crap image, will go after people who hurt them, take no prisoners ever
and are particularly sensitive to issues in their home country and always looking out for animals, and constantly fight for civil rights, gay rights, woman's rights and equality within the world.
You're On The Way Down...I can't wait to see you burn.
Aimed at of cause Ryan Cabrera, in their song Revenge is Sweeter (Than you ever were)
Take That! Us!: Did a song called "Double Trouble (Samey Samey)" which exists purely for this purpose.They know how crazy the whole twins thing makes people.
Twin Cest: A part of their very early videos till they grew out of it.
