1-Medicated Dreams
A tale of unrequited love, Nicole sings from the perspective of a woman who loves a man who does not love her back. The more he repels her, the more she loves him.
2-Crawling Down My Spine
This song seems to be about a couple who split up during the summer and are expressing how they feel about the relationship. The girl's bit is the first verse: she cheated on him but it didn't mean anything compared to what he feels ("The time we spent don't mean a thing"). The second verse is the guy telling the girl he can't lie to her, and that he's missed her and he forgives her no matter what: "Kill me know without you there is no tommorow." The chorus is saying they miss each other. They should hate each other but don't.
3-Is It Really There
This is an environmental song. It's about the abuse of mother nature and the recent oil spills in the gulf (blanketing the ocean with oil,the clear cutting of old growth forests). Then the lyrics go on to say, "This is all your fault. With your damn lies that keep us alive," meaning the Earth.
4-Torn, Filthy, Love
This song shows a back and forth between a boy and a girl. This song isn't a love song, but a breakup song. If you focus closely on what is being relayed, the relationship between the two is in trouble. From the man's point of view, the relationship is unstoppable and going great. From the girl's point of view, he's done so many bad things, that if he doesn't stop, there won't be a relationship left. And by the end of the song, with the last words being echoed by the girl, it seems that this relationship did in fact end.
5-Figure Me Out
This song was originally just a poem that Nicole wrote. She didn't write it for the new album - it was a very personal poem that she wrote about how people always seem to misjudge her and think that she is a bitch. This wasnt even going to be a song until Matt was being a nosey ass and looked in one of her notebooks and told Nicole that it could be a great song. At first, she didn't want to sing it or share it with anyone, but she eventually decided to bring it in to the studio and give it a shot.
6-Vulture
This song is about the voice in your head that tells you to do everything thats bad and just pushes you to destroy your relationships with your friends, family, and loved ones.
7-The Leaving Scene
This bluesy, rock and roll number is a salute to "the little guy, the underdog." Vocalist Nicole Woods said in promotional materials that this is how she characterizes her band. He explained: It's been a wild ride. Nothing really happened with the first album, and we have a lot of incredible fans who bought our record. But we're just these kids from a small town who play together, and have done it on our own. But it's ultimately a job as well as a good time that requires you to be away from your family, and that's time you don't get back
8-I See To Many People Staring At Me
Matt read a letter someone sent his parents who were friends with the people that sent it as an email, that a kid wrote before he committed suicide to his parents. We kind of got together and wrote this sad, slow song. It came out sadder than we ever thought it would, which is good too. Any song that moves you is good. Some people listen to it and go 'Wow, that's a real bum-out of a song.'Which can be good at times too. But it's one of those things, a story of a kid not being happy in his life. At the end of it there's a better way out, there are better things to do than kill yourself
9-The Time Im Waisting
Frontman Matt Urie told MTV News about this song: "For some reason, when we were mixing it, we kept playing around with this visual thesaurus that had a computer voice, and Nick and I kept typing up weird words, trying to find the dirtiest ones we could. So every time I listen to that song now, I just keep hearing this computer voice saying all these dirty words. Anyway, it's our dance song. We wrote it later on in the process -- really close to the end, because we were seeing how the album was shaping up. I remember coming into the rehearsal space and just told everybody, 'OK, we're locking it down,' because we had a lot of songs to work with. And then the next day, I came back like, 'Hey, hey, wait, there's one more song to fit in.' And it's a very bizarre song. There were no verses in it. Hopefully it conveys a theme on the album, which is basically a nervous breakdown. It's pretty chaotic, and of all the songs on the record, that one represents that theme the best."
10-Nothing Is Ever What It Seems
This song is about how family and friends keep things from you for your best but it ends up hurting you alot more then it would if they just would have told you in the first place
11-Fading Picture
This song is about how pictures fade but memories last forever. It is about an old relationship that Nick had with a really good friend back in high school and about how is friend was killed in a tragic plane crash.
12-Sleepless Eyes
While the lyrics, if taken seriously, would make the song seem like it's about self mutilation and similar activities, it's actually inspired by lead singer Nicole Woods bad habit of not paying that much attention to anything.
13-When I Wake Ill Be Just Like The Rest
This song is about how in highschool there is always that group of people that try and look exactly like eachother and the one person that group pretends to be friends with just to make fun of that person behind their back because they try to be just like the group
14-To The Fans
This is an anthem that was made to thank all of our fans for the love and support they give the band every day and how they have all stuck with the band even with all the lineup changes that the band has encountered. It pretty much just a thank you letter for the fans.
