Trivia[]
- The lyrics to "IDOL is DEAD" have never been officially published. However, text that appears on screen during the music video seems to correspond with the song. This text includes phrases from famous English-language rock songs (for example: "She turns me on, all my violence is gone" from "Beetlebum" by Blur, "Feeling sick and dirty, more dead than alive" from "I'm Waiting For The Man" by The Velvet Underground"), so it is possible that the lyrics have been deliberately hidden to avoid potential copyright issues.
- "I wish I was SpecIaL" is likely an homage to the song "Stay Gold" by pop-punk band Hi-STANDARD: the chorus is extremely similar, and the lyrics to "I wish I was SpecIaL" include the phrase "keeping gold". The music video for "Stay Gold" would later be the inspiration for the video to "Hi".
