Trivia

In the song "Ana", taking the first letter of each line in the song spells out the word "surfer". Thus "Ana" is believed to be short for anagram, although the name for this type of lyric is actually an acrostic.
"Hang Wire" is based on the Rolling Stones' "Hang Fire". The first two verses are written in the Japanese haiku form.
Havalina is the Mexican name for a wild boar, and the Sedona mentioned is a city in Arizona.
