* "God Forbid" talks about confronting your darkest fears and the difficulties in doing so, in what is probably the saddest song from the four-man era.
-->God forbid you and I\\
Ever find better words to describe\\
How we can't run and hide\\
From the fears in the back of our minds\\
And I know that it's not how we live\\
But we still say "God forbid"
** And at the end, Ed makes the song hit even harder.
-->Though I do not believe that he exists\\
I still say "God forbid"

* "Call And Answer." At the end of an otherwise [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments heartwarming]] song about healing a rift with your {{true companion|s}}, the last verse reminds them that [[ForgivenButNotForgotten forgiveness isn't always promised]], and he has no choice but to cut this person out of his life [[TheLastStraw if they can't prove that they've learned from their mistake]].

* Most of "I Live With It Every Day" has strong LyricalDissonance to limit its emotional effect, but when the bridge hits...
-->The love I put away\\
Like games that children play\\
The hearts you choose to break\\
Like cars dumped in the lake\\
The laugh lines on your face\\
The life I won't embrace\\
The cold house I won't leave\\
The guests I won't receive.
