[edit] Miscellanea
- Track 1 is obviously based on the video game character, Birdo. Birdo though, represents Nathan Winneke's step father who would beat his mother if Nathan did not eat his eggs. His step father who was in the military thought that eggs made a man out of boys and would force eggs in Nathans mouth. When Nathan refused his mother would stick up for him and his step father would hit his mom. Also, the intro of the song is an audio clip from the animated film The Hobbit.
- Track 2, A Million Exploding Suns, is a reference to the Marvel comic book character, The Sentry.
- Track 4, The House of Boo, holds reference to the stage and home of the ghost characters, Boo, in several of the Mario video game series titles. It also includes, in sections of the song, the actual score used in the games. The song itself is also about Nathan's childhood and an incident involving someone breaking into his home and the resulting trauma towards the night and or the dark.
- Tracks 8 and 9, when played in order, fit perfectly together as if they were one song.
- The Track 12 title, Lord Gold Throneroom, was also used as the stage name of keyboardist Erik "Lord Gold" Engstrom.
