Although much of the album's lyrics are limited ("Carry Stress in the Jaw", "Phlegmatics"), in non-English languages ("Desert Search for Techno Allah", "Violenza Domestica"), or constructed from nonsense words ("Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz", "Chemical Marriage"), the lyrical content of Disco Volante is, as on their eponymous debut album, both dark and comedic. Lyrical themes include social isolation ("Everyone I Went to High School With Is Dead"), bruxism ("Carry Stress in the Jaw"), child abuse ("After School Special"), domestic violence ("Violenza Domestica"), the "gradual decline of the human body due to social interactions" ("Phlegmatics"), masturbation ("Backstrokin'"), and martyrdom ("Merry Go Bye Bye"). "The Bends" is a largely instrumental ten-minute suite split into ten different sections, detailing the experiences of a negligent diver who experiences decompression sickness.
