* "I Wish" is also about Dan's sister-in-law, and it just may be even worse than "Wrecked," as Dan openly laments not being a "better friend" to her in a pained, drawn-out chorus.

* "Younger" has a pretty brutal use of LyricalDissonance, being an poppy and energetic song in which the singer discusses the pains of growing older, like health problems and watching his friends die, and wishes that he could be young again.

* "Waves" is all about sudden deaths. One is a woman who's finally made something of herself but is implied to have been killed in a car accident. The second is a friend who committed suicide simply because the singer wasn't able to be there for him.

** It was written for (and appears during the end credits of) ''WesternAnimation/RalphBreaksTheInternet'', in which [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph the titular character]] is faced with his OnlyFriend/borderline surrogate daughter/kid sister leaving him to live in another game. It fits Ralph's situation almost perfectly.

* "Bad Liar". It's bad enough on its own as a song about the failure of a relationship, but it also has heavy FridgeHorror for "Start Over" and "I'll Make It Up To You" from the previous album, implying that Dan's promises of mending his relationship were just lies. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_kfi-WeZCw stripped version]] makes it even worse by stripping away the electronic flourishes and leaving it as weak and hopless.
* The animated video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXZkm9p_zY "Birds"]] which will hit ''anyone'' in the feels for either of these two things: either being ostracized/bullied for being different or [[spoiler: losing a parental figure in your life.]]
