Darker and Edgier: The album None the Wiser, which is implicitly about the effects of the 2008 financial crisis, qualifies. |

Protest Song: Most notably "Hollow Point", about the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes, but also any number of songs from None the Wiser and So Much to Defend. |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Tends towards the cynical side, especially on later albums. |

Humans Are Bastards |
| | Chris Wood (Musician) (Music) / int_3d4d3dc9 |
comment |
Humans Are Bastards / Humans Are the Real Monsters: "The Wolfless Years", the last track on the Album None the Wiser, compares humanity before the 2008 financial crisis to the deer in Yellowstone National Park when the wolves were removed, implying that we almost deserve the problems the crisis caused. Also from the title track of None the Wiser, "To the masters of the universe we are naught but fertilizer / what kind of beast is man / I am none the wiser" |

Cover Version: Quite a few. A notable one being his version of the English patriotic song "Jerusalem", which, according to the liner notes, he sung "as if the person asking the questions knows that the answer is no". |

comment |
Hollywood Atheist: "You May Stand Mute" is something of a skewering of the idea that atheists don't care about anything. "You may stand mute / while others choose / to praise the stars above / but none dispute / the desert of / a life lived without love". At the same time it also goes after the atheists who hate religion for no reason. |

Disposable Sex Worker: Implicitly referenced with the character of Svetlana in "So Much to Defend", who's "always carrying something sharp, and always something blunt", presumably to prevent herself being disposed of. |
