Songs
The title track on What The Dead Men Say was written based on the science-fiction novella of the same name. Sickness Unto You and Scattering The Ashes deal with death and mourning, with Sickness being about Matt Heafy dealing with the death of his dog Miyuki and Scattering being about Corey Beaulieu dealing with the death of his grandfather.

The bridge in Sickness Unto You transitions into a very progressive segment that seems heavily inspired by bands such as Dream Theater.
