  • Awesome Music: Just about all of Cub and Midas, with notable examples including "Purple", "Teal" and "Leader of the Pack" from the former and "Rain", "Arizona". "July", "Silver" and "Emily" from the latter.
  • Epic Riff: "Purple", "Arizona", "Silver" and "Rain".
  • Heartwarming Moments: "Purple" is about a girl named Scarlet who lives in a broken home being comforted by the narrator.
    And she dreams purple and anger
    And roses explodin' in circles
    Around her grow louder
    And nobody's noticed the gun at her temple
    Hey, Scarlet, there's a home for you here in my heart
    My heart, yeah
  • Nightmare Fuel: "July", which has an intense and claustrophobic instrumental, lyrics describing a drug overdose, and Jacob screaming "I'M READY TO DIIIIE" repeatedly in the chorus.
  • Signature Song: "Purple", "Teal" and "Leader of the Pack" have their most streams on Spotify.
  • Tear Jerker:
    • "Purple" is about a girl named Scarlet living in an abusive household, with the chorus implying she is suicidal as a result.
      Green eyes cryin' at the door
      Long nights pacin' the kitchen floor
      This house is half crazy
      Dad's always drinkin'
      Nobody's listenin'
      And no one seems to care
      And there's nowhere I can l go
    • "Arizona", which is about an aborted baby and the narrator apologising for having to go through with it in the bridge.
      Oh, and I never meant to hurt you
      Or to tear you from this life
      And I'm sorry if you suffered
      When they turned out all the lights
