Message
Social Behavior:
"Riot Girl" praises body piercings, tattoos, and attitude. "The Day That I Die" describes suicide.
Consumerism:
Despite isolated references to "Ferraris," "Christina," and "Britney," the lyrics do not extol name brands.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
"The Story Of My Old Man" describes a father's alcoholism, and that of his father before him: "Monday he woke up and hated life/ Drank until Wednesday and left his wife."
Violence
"My Bloody Valentine" describes stalking a rival boyfriend and ripping out his throat. "Hold On" refers to an abusive father. "The Day That I Die" contemplates suicide.
Sex
In "Girls & Boys," the "girls with the bodies like the boys with Ferraris/?. She'll get what she wants if she's willing to please."
Language
Occasional crude language describes rich celebrities (they "piss and moan"), while direct and forceful terms depict an alcoholic father ("The Story Of My Old Man") and a murderous boyfriend ("My Bloody Valentine").
