* HarsherInHindsight: The answering machine message in "Manchild" is a real one from E's sister, who suffered from depression and schizophrenia, and committed suicide not long after the album was released. Knowing this makes dialogue like "Because we're ''troopers''" and "God...why am I so tired?" particularly chilling and heartbreaking.

* '''TearJerker''': So, so many. Songs ranging from his sister, his mom, his father, himself, lost love, death, sickness and a whole lot of things. [[LyricalDissonance Some are even sung along really catchy and poppy tunes,]] however there are a lot of songs that are slow and depressive. Take "Electro-Shock Blues", the whole album may be THE most depressive album ever, and is his best work.
** "Flower," "Manchild," "Climbing to the Moon," "Railroad Man," "If You See Natalie," [[LongTitle "I'm Going to Stop Pretending that I Didn't Break Your Heart,"]] "A Line in the Dirt," "Little Bird"...the list goes on and on.
