* FranchiseOriginalSin: Their beloved early work was often still defined by the mix of songs that follow a more traditional modern country sound and ones that have the SouthernGothic themes that gave them their critical acclaim. You just need to compare their debut single, "Hip to My Heart", to their breakthrough hit, "If I Die Young", to see that contrast in action. The massive genre change of "Live Forever", the controversy over pop vs. country, and their subsequent struggles to stick with a sound that appealed to their fans isn't a huge swerve from what the band was doing during their peak.

* MoodWhiplash: A sweet song about how the singer and her lover carved their names and a little heart in a tree to signify their everlasting love suddenly takes a sharp right turn:
-->I came out here to see it one more time...
-->[[BreakupSong And I got my]] '''''[[ChainsawGood CHAINSAW!]]'''''

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Pretty much all of the band's singles make it sound like Kimberly is suffering from varying degrees of insanity. In "If I Die Young", she is obsessed with death. In "Postcard From Paris" she sounds like a StalkerWithACrush on a guy she just met even though she has a boyfriend who is perfectly nice. "You Better Dig Two" sounds like she plans on [[MurderSuicide killing him and then herself]] if he breaks up with her. "You Lie" has her [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking obsessed with metaphors]].

* TearJerker: "If I Die Young". The title alone should tell you what kinda song you're in for.

* UnfortunateImplications: A few people see different versions of this in "Better Dig Two," a song that was intended as an ode to fidelity by saying that if he leaves, the gravedigger "better dig two" 'cause she's going with him. Some find it uncomfortable in different ways.
** One, the message of the song might have been seen as sweet if the couple in question were elderly had been HappilyMarried for decades. However, when the song was recorded, Kimberly Perry was in her late 20s, which means the idea of "If I don't have a man, I have no reason to live" becomes a little uncomfortable.
** Two, the line "if divorce or death ever do us part," makes it sound like if he ever leaves her for whatever reason, she'll kill them both.
