[edit]the song Clowne Towne (on the new album) is about how I moved into a house where everyone was younger Im 32 and everyone was around 20 and I was looking to make a bond, but I ended up being fucked over by everyone there.
While Stewart endured a great deal of tragedy last year, he also — perhaps fatefully — fell in love, which served as inspiration for "Little Panda." "That whole song is basically a list of how being in that relationship was positively changing me," he explained. "It's always very dangerous and unfair to depend on love to fix your life, but in this case it totally did. It also made me a little crazy, which it does. But it definitely gave me a very solid and good reason to get my shit together."

"'Brian the Vampire' is about one kid in particular," Stewart said, in reference to a former student of his. "The story was so gruesome. His whole family lived in one garage and his older brother, who's in his early teens, was molesting Brian at night while the whole family was sleeping in the room. Sometimes his dad caught him, sometimes he was able to sneak and do it."
And the closer, Mike, is an eerily elegiac tribute to Stewart's father, Michael—a folk musician and producer of Billy Joel's Piano Man—who committed suicide in 2002.

Stewart harbors no regrets whatsoever about what may very well be the album's most controversial track, "Support Our Troops OH! (Black Angels OH!)." ...It's the kind of politically incorrect sentiment that could easily become the Fox News Channel's "Outrage of the Week." He explains: "You know, you see that bumper sticker all the time that's like, 'I'm against the war but I support our troops.' And I had read this article in Rolling Stone, of all places, where this journalist had interviewed a bunch of Marines right when they were initially invading Iraq, and their quotes were genuinely terrifying. They all completely admitted to having absolute wanton bloodlust and were really interested in seeing what it would be like to kill people and how certain bullets would rip people apart. ... "These are guys that wanted to become killers for the government. Sure, maybe they wanted to go to school eventually, and that's a lofty endeavor, but becoming a murderer in order to go to college?"
