** The ''Film/CabinFever'' series is a mean-spirited, bloody affair, but "A Rash Decision" puts surprising focus on the tragic side of the first film: a group of ordinary, innocent people, who took a weekend to get away and ended up dying, one after the other, in [[CruelAndUnusualDeath some of the most horrible ways possible]]. Special mention goes to the final breakdown, which almost sounds like a DyingDream from Paul:
-->''"The only peace is a place inside my mind\\
The only peace is the past, rewind\\
'Cause all was well once upon a time\\
The only peace is a place inside my mind\\
The only place where I could never leave her\\
[[DownerEnding And we defeat the fever...]]"''

** The ballad-style song "Love Bites", about a man under [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent a certain curse]] who only desires to be killed by the woman he fell in love with.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness:
** Their 2000s songs were much closer to AlternativeRock, PopPunk, and SkaPunk. They refer to it as "The Pop-Punk-Ska Years", and the only material of theirs from that era that can be found on Spotify is their 2007 EP ''The Burning''. It was in 2009, when Spencer rebuilt the band after all of the other members had left, that they shifted to the {{metalcore}} sound they'd become famous for.
** While the band always had very dark lyrics, these were never unusual for metalcore. It wasn't until ''Every Trick in the Book'' and especially ''The Silver Scream'' that they fully adopted their horror movie theme. Lampshaded on "Hip to Be Scared" when Spencer homages [[Literature/AmericanPsycho Patrick Bateman]]'s monologue about Music/HueyLewisAndTheNews.
--->''Do you like Ice Nine Kills? Their early work was a little bit too [[EmoMusic scene]] for me, but when ''The Silver Scream'' came out, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.''

** "The Fastest Way To a Girl's Heart is Through Her Ribcage": the narrator is in an on-off relationship with a woman he believes to be a serial killer (and/or a vampire, as per the music video). Is he correct in his assumptions? Or is this a ThroughTheEyesOfMadness MisogynySong narrated by a man who believes women to be "inherently sick"?

** "Greatest Story Ever Told" is commonly interpreted as being sung ThroughTheEyesOfMadness, with a jealous stalker killing the woman he's obsessed with and planning to kill her lover next. However, you can also take the song's lyrics at face value: the woman's lover killed her and the narrator is out on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge.

** "The Jig is Up" is screamed/growled most of the way through and has its share of gory imagery (fitting for a song about the Franchise/{{Saw}} franchise).
