			* The Game has a lyrical overlap with [[Carnival of Rust (song)\|Carnival of Rust]]:<br/>''It's all a game, avoiding failure when true colors will bleed'' - Carnival of Rust<br/>vs<br/>''Her clashes of colors are flashes of society in ashes'' - The Game
			* "The Real McCoys" is the slogan on the logo for McCoys crisps, so that line may be a reference.
			* [[Hello Cabaret]] may be foreshadowed in the lines "Yesterday's diamonds and pearls, now worthless trinkets in their world"
