Protest Song | |
| Senses Fail (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: “Lush Rimbaugh” is this. The single, later included on Hell Is In Your Head, acts a “brutally honest eulogy” of Rush Rimbaugh, a controversial conservative politician. The song expresses Buddy’s loss of sympathy for Rimbaugh, with harsh lines such as “I’m not fucking sorry anymore / There’s a special place in hell for you / I’m sure they’ve got your number at the door”. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Senses Fail (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: "Pull the Thorns From Your Heart" and Renacer mixes the band's Post-Hardcore earlier sound with a heavy Metalcore influence. Still Searching featured far less screaming than their first record, and more progressive, experimental arrangements. The Fire brought in a new lineup and along with their Waves EP, went in a more aggressive direction musically. If There Is Light, It Will Find You mostly abandons the Metalcore elements in favor of the band's early sound. | |

Concept Album | |
| Senses Fail (Music) / int_34f6774c | comment |
Concept Album: Pull the Thorns From Your Heart is a concept album drawing on Buddhist philosophy and Buddy's personal introspections on the meaning of life and love. Still Searching dealt with a young man having a Crisis of Faith, stress, anxiety, alcoholism, depression, and finally taking his own life. | |

Downer Ending: The protagonist of Still Searching commits suicide in "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues", and refuses spiritual help while dying and finally passes in "The Priest and The Matador". | |

| Senses Fail (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: The band's first EP, From the Depths of Dreams, is much closer to straightforward Emo thematically than the band's later, Thursday-like literary and philosophical lyricism. | |

Drowning My Sorrows | |
| Senses Fail (Music) / int_52488c54 | comment |
Drowning My Sorrows: "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" is a deconstruction of this trope. The protagonist of the album drinks to forget his pain and commits suicide after a final night of binging rather than have his problems fade. | |

Driven to Suicide | |
| Senses Fail (Music) / int_6d332aea | comment |
Driven to Suicide: The last half of Still Searching. Rather than forgetting any of his pain from his breakup or parental issues by binge drinking and having copious sex, the protagonist has a further downward spiral and kills himself. | |

Siamese Twin Songs: "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" transitions into the sad guitar-and-percussion-heavy instrumental "Negative Space", which segues into "The Priest and The Matador". | |

Rearrange the Song: "Lost and Found" and "Family Tradition" on the acoustic EP In Your Absence. The latter removes some lyrics, and in the process changes the meaning of the song to be more forgiving. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Senses Fail (Music) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: "All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues" has the protagonist of the album taking his own life after reflecting on his parental issues among other thing. "Family Tradition" is Buddy's anger at his father manifested in a song, and "Coward" further details Buddy's pain. | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song: “Grow Away From Me” off of Hell Is In Your Head Averts this, sort of. The song starts off slow, with sparse instrumentation, but eventually culminates in a dramatic climax with guitars and drums. Given the topic of the song, however, this is Justified. | |

Soprano and Gravel: Unconventional example in that Heath Saraceno tended to sing deeper and louder backing vocals when he sang with the band live, straight example with the band's first bassist Mike Gilta, most of the harsher short screams on Let It Enfold You are him. | |
