* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Lol Tolhurst's contributions slowly diminished after he switched to keyboards, and what finally fired from the band after spending the entirety of ''Disintegration'' drunk and watching MTV. He was credited with "Other Instruments" due to contractual obligations, but Robert and the band confirmed he contributed nothing.
** Around the release of ''Bloodflowers'', Robert mentioned he considered re-uniting every member of the Cure ever for a special occasion. When asked if he would invite Lol back, Robert joked [[SnubByOmission he'd just have a cardboard cut-out of him instead]]. Despite this though, [[TheBusCameBack Lol would actually come back]] for a series of shows in 2011.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: The Song "A Man Inside My Mouth". It talks of a wild party, with the protagonist falling asleep and waking up "with a man inside my mouth", despite the meaning [[HoYay seemingly being obvious]], WordOfGod says it's about a time Robert Smith was on drugs at a party and woke up feeling like [[EnslavedTongue someone was talking through him like a puppet.]]

They started out a UsefulNotes/{{Punk}} (or Post-punk, depending on who you ask) band, quickly moved into a {{goth}} phase, with a purposeful anti-image, and a generally somber outlook. After ''Pornography'' came out, Smith felt pigeonholed by their miserabilist image and wanted to escape from it. This caused them to go LighterAndSofter, arguably, which was much more commercially successful. Once they'd reached real success they returned to that image with Music/{{Disintegration}} which won over the UK and gained them fans internationally. Their music ever since is just different degrees of accessibility vs. angst.
