* "Roads". It's probably the violins. Also the band allowed it to be used for a video relating to Sophie Lancaster's death, which doesn't exactly make it seem any more cheerful. (Sophie Lancaster being a girl who was beaten to death for being dressed as a goth.)
* "The Rip".
* "Wandering Star" from ''Dummy'', which features these lyrics, which are immediately relatable to anyone who suffers from UsefulNotes/{{depression}} or other mental health disorders:
--> ''Please could you stay a while to share my grief?'' \\
''It's such a lovely day to have to always feel this way'' \\
''And the time that I will suffer less'' \\
''[[DeathSeeker Is when I never have to wake]]'' \\
'' [[TitleDrop Wandering stars]], [[Literature/EpistleOfJude for whom it is reserved]]'' \\
''[[TheNothingAfterDeath The blackness of darkness forever]].''
** The second verse isn't much better:
---> ''Those who have seen the needle's eye now tread'' \\
''Like a husk, from which all that was now has fled...''
