18 | * ''The Bonny'' (2020) |
19 | ---- |
20 | !! Where we're going these tropes don't matter: |
21 | * DrugsAreBad: In "Sometimes", he sings about how he used to do cocaine when he was younger and how it made him go on a "false ego trip" and beat people up, now viewing it as a "[[PrecisionFStrike fucking]] waster". |
22 | * FaceOnTheCover: The cover of "Erratic Cinematic" is a monochrome picture of his face putting a finger on his chin. |
23 | * LyricalDissonance: "Sometimes" is quite upbeat for a song about Gerry singing about his cocaine addiction when he was younger. |
24 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: In "Sometimes". |
25 | -->''Sometimes, just sometimes\ |
26 | Well alright, maybe all of the time'' |
27 | * MusicIsPolitics: He encourages smaller artists to believe in themselves and isn't fond of music industry marketing and excessive hyping artists. |
28 | * ProtestSong: "War TV" is one against [[WarIsHell War]], complete with recorded quotes from David Cameron and mentioning Animal Farm. |
29 | * SelfDeprecation: He claims he isn't the type of person to be lecturing on life in "Sometimes". |
30 | * ShoutOut: |
31 | ** The TitleTrack of ''Erratic Cinematic'' mentions quotes from various films, such as Film/{{Scarface}}, Film/TheWizardOfOz and Film/FightClub. |
32 | ** Literature/AnimalFarm is mentioned in "War TV". |
33 | * SirSwearsALot: His songs tend to be quite foul-mouthed, notably "Where We're Going". |
