Normally, 3oh!3 takes a punk techno approach to it's music. "Electroshock", "Don't Trust Me", and "Chokechain" show their harder side. Most of their lyrics are about woman, drugs, and elaborate metaphors for life and love. In "Still Around", the softer music is accompanied by Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte's vocals. This tragic love story of two young lovers is chronicled by a hopeless romantic stating that no matter where he goes, she's still around. His only hope, his only desire is to see her again, and even if he doesn't, she will still be with him.
A man named David John Oates once proposed that in casual conversation, a person produces two related sentences or words, rather than just one subconsciously. Backmasking was made popular by The Beatles. John, Paul, Ringo and George used backward vocals and instruments on their 1996 album, Revolver. Artists have since used backmasking for artistic, comedic, and satanic effect. The technique has also been used to censor words or phrases for "clean" releases of songs. In the Summer of 1990, Judas Preist was placed on trial. The civil action alleged that they were responsible in the suicide(attempt) of James Vance and Ray Belknap, two young men in Reno, Nevada. On December 23, 1985, Vance and Belknap were intoxicated and went to a playground at a nearby church. Ray took a shotgun and shot himself in the chin and died instantly, and although James did the same, he survived. The men's parents alleged that the words "do it" has been included in the song "Better By You, Better Than Me." They alleged that was a command to pull the trigger. The trial was dismissed, and they stated that "do it" had no direct connotation. Iron Maiden is a British heavy metal band that is touring and has been making music for over 33 years.

Metallica's "One" and Dalton Trumbo's "Johnny Got His Gun" show the parallels between life and death, salvation and loss of hope. The story is about a young man, Joe Bonham, a troubled soul stricken with an injury from a landmine. The landmine took his legs, arms, and face, until he was left but one solid lump, a being that cannot face life, a life that would only be lived inside his head. All he wants to do is go home, but he can't. Not knowing whether he is asleep or awake, alive or dead, and he is slowly going insane. Unable to move around on his bed, he is stricken with bed soars, eating away at his side. The thought of death frightened most people, but in Joe's situation, he welcomes it. The downfall of hope and salvation happens inside of a lot of people, whether it takes a traumatic event or not. When there is a person that has no solid proof that there is a God to pray to does just that, the thoughts of death are consuming them in a way that there is no going back. "Oh God, please wake me." The thought that being in a dream is the only way that he will survive is a trgaedy. Joe feels hopepless and "darkness imprisoning me." He makes it feel like darkness is a force that you cannot escape. A living being that can take you over in a moment's notice.

Brokencyde has always been at the fore-front of lesser-known scream-o bands. Breath Carolina, Kill Paradise, and Medic Droid could also be placed into this category. The song "Kandyland" is a metaphor based on love and loss in life. While most songs by Brokencyde are about drinking, lust, and drugs, Kandyland has a lighter melodic feel. Se7en, Mikl, Phat J, and Antz composed the tune using a synthesizer and there signature "crunk screams" and back up rap courtesy of Mikl and Se7en.

Se7en compares his love to a butterfly, unique, beautiful, mysterious. The broken wings may symbolize the lies. The nightmares are truly reality.
