* "Hast Thou Considered The Tetrapod" is, like the majority of The Sunset Tree, about the narrator's abusive stepfather, but unlike Lion's Teeth, he is refusing to remain content, and is determined that his life will get better:
-->''And alone in my room''
-->''I am the last of a lost civilization''
-->''And I vanish into the dark''
-->''And rise above my station''
-->''Rise above my station''

* "Werewolf Gimmick" is this combined with NightmareFuel, since the song is a truly frightening BadassBoast from a {{Heel}} wrestler BecomingTheMask.
-->''Blood pooling on the canvas as the atmosphere gets hushed.\\
Bring your heroes to the wolf den, watch them all get crushed.\\
Get told to maybe dial it back backstage later on.\\
Everyone still in this building right now is '''dead before the dawn!'''''

Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, considering that it meant a chance for John Darnielle to work with his childhood hero.

* "Going to Georgia." It's either about a veteran returning from war or a suicide prevented by love, and whichever it is, it is a perfect summary of the wonderful feeling you get when against all odds ''everything ends up okay.'' The band has so many songs about the dark side of love that it's even more powerful when one like this shows up.

Darnielle unexpectedly [[TitleDrop title-dropped]] a Hold Steady album and recurring lyric - "And it almost killed me! It almost killed me!". And the crowd - and Craig Finn - go ''wild''.
