The fifth track , " Like the Angel " , begins with strumming of the bass guitar , before transitioning into a " poppy " beat about unrequited love . " Voices Off Camera : " is one of the more accessible songs on the album , with McIlrath singing in a softer voice . In contrast , " Blood-Red , White , & Blue " is described by Matthew Fiander of '' PopMatters '' as a " musical tour de force " , with a moody breakdown . With it , McIlrath wanted to write a song that showcased the conflict of interests following the September 11 attacks , between overt patriotism , and war crimes in the name of God . The eighth track , " Broken English " , " switches tempo constantly " , and has motivational lyrics in the chorus . McIlrath describes " Last Chance Blueprint " as the band 's " escape song " , while Fiander feels it is a " stock get-out-of-town tune " . It contains a soundbite from the 1999 film '' American Beauty ''
