Trivia
- This song features the first guest vocalist on a Lemon Demon album since Clown Circus.
- The proper plural of the word knife is in fact knives, not knifes as used throughout the song. This was intentional.
- Knife Fight is one of four songs on View-Monster to receive a corresponding zoetrope animation on the Between The Frames picture disc vinyl variant of the album first released by Needlejuice Records in 2020. This song's animation was done by Aimkid.
