===Lyricism===
The eponymous Riddle Box is a [[jack-in-the-box]] that decides whether one's soul is sent to [[The Wraith: Shangri-La|Shangri-La]] or [[The Wraith: Hell's Pit|Hell's Pit]] in the afterlife. The album's themes revolve around [[death]] and [[judgement]], and reveal that the fate determined by the Riddle Box can be found by looking deep within yourself, and can be changed with righteous actions.<ref name="RB"/><ref name="Apollo"/><ref name="TheGuardian"/>

The album also makes several references to [[Culture of the United States|American popular culture]].
