It Came from the Fridge: Downplayed. The couple in "Green Beans" has an expired can of generic-brand green beans in their pantry, and they're "both afraid to go near it". |

Too Dumb to Live: "Acid In[di]gestion". Drinking chemicals from the school science lab out of curiousity? Sure, what a great idea that could not possibly go wrong! |

Lyrical Dissonance: Most definitely. They have "Cheap Drunk" (a "The Reason You Suck" Speech delivered to a cheating boyfriend), "Acid In[di]gestion" parts 1 and 2 (about a girl who dies from drinking acid), and Emyli (about a victim of abuse trying to hide her bruises), among others. |
