The Anti-Nihilist: "Kill your Heroes" is basically the anti-nihilist theme song with its message being, "Live your dreams because life is ultimately without consequences."

Epic Rocking: "Knights of Shame" is a Genre-Busting masterpiece that lasts exactly 11:49, but is 3:10 more longer on the album itself including two minutes of silence and a brief Hidden Track consisting of a reprise of "Jump on My Shoulders" and then some original lyrics sung to the tune of the "It's no fun waiting for the fall" section of the song. "Stop That Train" off of Here Come The Runs barely pushes 6 minutes, at 6:02.

Arc Words: Angel miners and lightning riders from "Angel Miners & the Lightning Riders". Both parts have one song referencing them, "Slam (Angel Miners)" and "Lightning Riders" respectively and both words are shouted out at the end of "I'm a Wreck".

A Wild Rapper Appears!: Parts of "Knights Of Shame" feature rapping, before switching back to Aaron Bruno's vocals just as suddenly. The beginning of "Sound Witness System" is this, before is switches to Aaron singing the rest of the song.

Lyrical Cold Open: "Some Sort of Creature". Of course, that's understandable, because the only thing the song consists of is a distorted audio clip of Aaron Bruno talking about a creature he saw, as if he was on a C-SPAN program making a speech. Also "My Nightmare's Dream".

Careful with That Axe
 AWOLNATION (Music) / int_9da3227a
comment
Careful with That Axe: "Soul Wars" and "Burn It Down". Actually pretty common in Awolnation's songs. The chorus of "Not Your Fault" qualifies as this, as well as the entirety of "Sail." "Dreamers" starts out with some pretty calm vocals, but as it goes on, the vocals get crazier and crazier. "Like People, Like Plastic" might be the best example out of all of their songs, ESPECIALLY at the very end of the song.

Precision F-Strike: At the very end of "Jump on My Shoulders". Listening close to the second "Burn it down, baby, burn it burn it down" in the chorus of "Burn It Down" will reveal this. Also used at the start of "THISKIDSNOTALRIGHT", right after the opening riff.

Genre Mashup: Primarily alternative, Awolnation's music have ran the gamut from industrial, to power pop, to rap rock, and much more. "Sail" alone could be described as a synth-industrial-dubstep-noise-electrorock number.

Album Title Drop: Every single one of their albums contains this. Megalithic Symphony, Run and Here Come the Runts has a song with the same name on the album. Angel Miners & the Lightning Riders is a bit unique as there's both "Slam (Angel Miners)" as well as "Lightning Riders", but is name dropped fully at the end of the last song on the album, "I'm a Wreck".
