> ''La la la you said to me''\ '''Baby, don't you cry.''\ ''Put your arms around me, child''\ ''and lay with me tonight.''' * 'Pink Triangle': Rivers falls for a girl too hard only to quickly discover that she's a lesbian. His lyrics suggests that he just wants to be comforted.

You can hear the desperation in his voice when he sings this line: -> ''But that's just a stupid dream that I won't realize''\ ''because I can't even look in your eyes'' * 'You Gave Your Love To Me Softly' can be interpreted as Rivers fantasizing about being in a relationship with a girl he's been in a one-night stand with.

* 'El Scorcho': While Rivers' behavior in this song is downright creepy, you can't help but feel sorry for him with how alone he is and how ] He reads this girl's diary instead of talking to him straight up because he's too afraid of rejection to talk to her. * 'I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams' from the aborted Songs from the Black Hole project (though eventually re-worked into a B-Side for 'The Good Life'), which chronicles how Laural realizes too late how she loves Jonas after she's already cast him aside. He's surrounded with all of the girls and sex he's ever wanted, but he knows it's all meaningless. His new life as a rock star has left him lonely and broken, to the point to where a piece of fan mail gets him to immediately fall in love with a girl he's never met in person. * 'Across the Sea' chronicles Rivers at his low point. * 'Why Bother?': Rivers gives up on pursuing a woman because 'it's just sexual attraction' and therefore not real, even though he clearly wants to be with her. It can hit close to home for anyone in the same situation. * 'No Other One' is about Rivers staying in a dysfunctional relationship all because they're both too afraid of being alone. His desperate screams for help during the song make it worse. * 'Tired of Sex' in which Rivers expresses how ashamed of himself he is for his objectifying views of women. Highlights include Jonas' dysfunctional on-and-off relationship with Maria (which cumulates in her cheating on him with Dondo), Laurel's one-sided crush on Jonas, and 'Longtime Sunshine', where the planet they set out to save turned out to be deserted, and with only enough light-speed escape pods to send all but one person home (since Jonas and Maria bore a child), a guilt-stricken and suicidal Jonas volunteers to stay behind while the others escape before the sun supernovas. * The unreleased ''Songs from the Black Hole''. * 'Only in Dreams': The protagonist gets to dance with his lover only for it to all be a dream.

The sad-sounding harmonica solo sets the mood for the songs. * 'In The Garage' for anyone who feels alienated from the world and hides away in their own little place. >''Back in Wilson High''\ ''Said I had these two best friends''\ '''Til the school bus came''\ ''And took my friends away''\ '']''\ '']'' * 'Say It Ain't So' in which Rivers sings about his broken relationship with his alcoholic father, who divorced his mother. Worse is that Rivers, simultaneously heartbroken with the critical and commercial failure of ''Music/'' and grief-stricken from the loss of his two best friends, shut himself away from the world for years. * 'Mykel and Carli', a bittersweet song about the titular duo and Rivers personified as high school students is made even sadder with the tragic death of the two in a car accident.
