* [[Downer Ending]]: ''Hero of War'': {{spoiler|the man in the story fails to stop his friends from committing war crimes ([[Does This Remind You of Anything?|which are suspiciously similar to some committed by US troops in a certain prison in Iraq]]), and then falls to peer pressure and joins in. Later, he ends up killing a woman who was unarmed and holding a white flag. The man ends up going home, broken and defeated, with his love of country tainted by what he's seen in war.}}
* [[Driven to Suicide]] - "Heaven Knows".

Line 53:
* [[Power Ballad]] - "Swing Life Away"
* [[Protest Song]] - Well, duh. Endgame, in particular, is almost a Protest ''album''.
* [[Precision F
** : Other instances are in "Dead Ringer" and "To The Core". The band is very fond of this trope.
* [[Signature Song]] - Arguably ''Prayer of the Refugee'', ''Savior'', ''Injection''.
