* GrowingUpSucks: "September" is about growing up and losing a friendship/romance.



* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: "Waiting For Superman" is about a man who wanders the city doing good deeds. When he knocks down a woman who was about to be hit by a cyclist, the woman yells at him for shoving her, having not noticed the cyclist. When he stops a purse snatcher, he gets roughed up by security guards who assumed he was in league with him. When he pulls a suicidal man away from the ledge, the man yells at him. Finally, he saves a girl from street thugs and returns her to her mother, but a man who witnessed the event calls the police and he is nearly arrested until the girl and mother vouch for him. The girl gives him a hug, causing him to smile and consider it WorthIt.

** "Break Into My Heart" is another subliminal song, starting off sounding like the singer is wishing to feel love again, but then turns to focus on all the negative feelings associated with love.
---> So break in to my heart\\
Let me feel the blood rush in\\
Break in to my heart\\
I need to feel the pain again\\
Tear it up and bruise it\\
Wreck it and abuse it
** "Somebody", another of the lovesick variety.
---> Cause when I'm alone I don't do so well\\
And on my own you know it hurts like hell\\
It cuts to the bone every time I leave\\
Without you next to me
