Nightmare Fuel / Adema

Go To

  • "Needles" is the band's heaviest song, bar none! It's also perhaps their most terrifying track overall, and that's saying a lot. The subject matter will defintely cause those who fear needles to cringe, and the song closes out with Mark Chavez repeatedly shouting "Problems" in a distorted voice as audible, creepy laughter comes in from the background.
  • "Drowning" is about somebody that's at their breaking point and now wishes to commit murder by drowning someone that did them wrong. Lyrics like "I wish I could watch you drown and die and take my time" are greatly unnerving. Hell, the opening for the song is a rapidly increasing drum beat that then leads into Chavez screaming in feral manner for at least six seconds.
  • The music video for the band's most famous song, "Giving In" is disturbing to say the least. Highlights include what appears to be an attempted rape, a little girl facing the camera and eating a lollipop despondently, and a video showing someone being thrown out of a car door apparently bisected at the waist. Other scenes include a couple making love in front of one of their family...and a guy whose smirking at the whole scenerio in Creepy Uncle manner, the aftermath of a car crash with Chavez embracing a girl covered in ash and a man locked inside a water tube banging for the woman outside to let him out which she clearly doesn't look like she will.
  • Freaking Out is another unsettling song. The song's about a clearly distraught and disturbed kid reflecting on his childhood which implies parental abuse and drug addiction, with the person never receiving any help for either. And if you thought the original was scary, they did a remix in collaboration with Chris Vrenna which is 100 times scary with a more Marilyn Manson kind of sound to it all ending off which a slowly receding psycho cord at the end.
  • Estrellas, the final track on the "Planets" album before the hidden cover for "The Thing That Shouldn't Be" is an instrumental track featuring only a piano playing an ominous tune for thirty seconds before ending off on a long, deep note.
