- "Sixth of June" is about Aileen Wuornos. In early press and on the leaked version it is referred to as "Damsel of Death". It was featured on the soundtracks of Arena Football: Road to Glory & Resident Evil: Extinction.
- "Through Leaves, Over Bridges" is about Kurt Vonnegut's "Long Walk to Forever". It imitates the story, but appears to change the ending.
- "On the Road (To Damnation)" is about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
- "Sacred Heart" was featured briefly in the film Jennifer's Body.
