Then you have “Bad Religion” where Frank speaks to a cab driver about him falling in love with someone that did not have the same feelings. “Pilot Jones” and “Lost” are both about a relationship involving a drug dealer with “Lost” being about a girlfriend who wants to lead a normal life but gets lost in the chaotic lifestyle.
Throughout the first half of the song Frank uses Cleopatra as a metaphor for the woman and her descent from being his “queen.” Almost all of the songs are solely about romantic interactions with the song “Monks” being about a groupie Frank met during a tour.

The 2 tracks “Sweet Life” and “Super Rich Kids” speak of luxurious lifestyles, disillusionment, and material objects not being able to fill a void like love and attention can from parents. Frank then tells a fictional story in “Sierra Leone” of getting a girl pregnant as a teenager, but becoming a present and responsible father, unlike his real father who left his family when Frank was at a young age.

On the single “Thinkin Bout You”, which inspired the “A potato flew around my room” vine, Frank reflects on a past relationship with a person he still has strong feelings for and wonders if they still think of him.
