* [[WhatTheHellHero As much of a sleazeball as Hamilton is]] [[YourCheatingHeart for cheating on Eliza with Maria,]] the situation he finds himself in during "Say No To This" is still [[ParanoiaFuel absolutely terrifying;]] Imagine one stressful night while your wife's away, a pretty woman comes to your doorstep and tells you about [[DomesticAbuse the rough predicament she's in.]] You offer her some help, and then end up sharing her bed for the next several nights. You feel horrible about having an affair, but then along comes a letter from the woman's husband, in which he says he'll keep the affair on the down-low and even let you continue seeing his wife... ''[[{{Blackmail}} as long as you give him a little payment for all this]].''

--> '''King George III:''' They will tear each other to pieces... [[{{PsychopathicManchild}} Jesus Christ, this will be fun!]]

-->'''Burr:''' ''Be careful how you proceed, good man\\

-->'''Washington''': ''[[DarkestHour We are outgunned, outmanned, outnumbered, outplanned...]]''

* To make all of the above worse, take in the obvious fact that this guy is the ''king''.

An affair is already a horrible thing, but the idea that you can basically be ''trapped'' in one via blackmail is grade-A ParanoiaFuel.

* Alexander's dying monologue during "The World Was Wide Enough" is not only deeply heartbreaking, but chilling. It's arranged to sound like an impassioned slam poem, with only his panicking voice ("There is no beat, no melody") and [[HellIsThatNoise the eerie sound of distant wind]]. And then there's the way [[SanitySlippageSong repeating "rise up, rise up, rise up" over and over]].

** Also it's a little lighter in tone and a bit more comedic, "Stay Alive" itself counts as well. It's instrumental, while more hopeful than "Valley Forge", evokes a sense of urgency and fear. It gets worse in the Reprise, where there is NO humor as Phillip is dying. Then you notice the beat is different from the original song, and you realize that it's ''Phillip's heartbeat'', which stops when he dies.

* The April Hamildrop "First Burn" is a preliminary draft of Burn sang by five Elizas. The tone is much more angry than the actual Burn but the beginning has an ominous almost music box version of the beginning of Burn that's just kinda off...

* Many fans have noted the similarities between "Hurricane" and a PTSD episode. It's immediately followed by "The Reynolds Pamphlet", which if anything is even ''more'' disturbing, between the distorted vocals and the mocking from Jefferson, Madison and Burr. It quite appropriately sounds like the soundtrack to someone's life falling apart.

* The implications of "You'll Be Back." King George sees the colonies as an increasingly distant and loveless lover, and is willing to go to war and "send a fully-armed batallion" to get them to love him again. Also, this line:
--> '''King George:''' [[{{Yandere}} I will KILL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY... to remind you of my love!]]

--> '''King George:''' They will tear each other to pieces... [[{{PsychopathicManchild}} Jesus Christ, this will be fun!]]

* To a lesser extent, "Cabinet Battle #3," a demo of a CutSong on the Mixtape. The distorted voices (necessary to tell who's speaking, since Miranda is playing ''all'' the characters in this version), very simple background music, and the constant bell and clocks ticking in the background make it quite unnerving to listen to. Made worse by how utterly resigned and hopeless everyone sounds, Washington in particular.

* The part in "Alexander Hamilton" where he moves in with his cousin, who [[DrivenToSuicide commits suicide]]. [[AdultFear Just imagine Hamilton going through that]] ''[[AdultFear right after his mother's death]]''.

* The beginning of "Your Obedient Servant", which has Burr extremely angry at Hamilton for endorsing Jefferson over him. The line "YOU'VE KEPT ME FROM [[ArcWords THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS...]][[ImpliedDeathThreat for the last time]]" is rather chilling.

* This line from King George: [[{{Yandere}} I will KILL YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY to remind you of my love!]] Brr...
* From the mixtape, "Valley Forge," which presumably got reworked into "Stay Alive." The sense of hopelessness and terror, mixed with the haunting background vocals, makes it one chilling number.
