* TearJerker: ''"Mr. Ambulance Driver... I'm not a real survivor..."''
** [[WeAllDieSomeday "Do You Realize??"]], [[YouAreNotAlone "Waitin' for a Superman"]], [[DespairEventHorizon "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate"]]...
** "7 Skies H3" is probably the contender of the most depressing Lips song pre-''Terror''.
** Then there's ''Terror'' itself, which is a soul-crushing sort of dark that manifests in heavy listens like "Try to Explain".
** [[DrivenToSuicide "Thirty-Five Thousand]] [[DespairEventHorizon Feet of Despair."]] The title says it all.
** Nearly all of ''American Head'', due to it being mostly an account of Wayne Coyne's dysfunctional upbringing.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: They were sued by Cat Stevens for plagiarizing his "Father And Son" for their song "Fight Test" and now he's legally credited as a co-writer. The band have admitted "Take Meta Mars" was heavily inspired by {{Music/Can}}'s "Mushroom" [[note]]specifically, it was an experiment in HalfRememberedHomage, where they tried to replay "Mushroom" from memory having only heard it once[[/note]],
and that "Chrome-Plated Suicide" came about when Wayne Coyne was trying to learn to play [[Music/GunsNRoses "Sweet Child O' Mine"]].
