Underscoring parts of Expiration Date, "Stink Lines" is written similarly to a film score. Several parts of the track seem to be variations on Playing With Danger's main motif, an apparent inspiration for much of its compositional elements.

Beginning with a repeated snare pattern punctuated by contrabasses, the track's first musical statement is a chorale in the key of A; the chorale underscores the Spy's speech in Expiration Date as a "call-to-arms." The only chords used in this section are A major, D major, and E major (I-IV-V), which are all found in the diatonic harmony of a major scale. The statement ends on E major, but resolves to F# minor, the relative minor of A major (though this section almost entirely consists of chromaticism, and cannot be clearly defined). This new section contains a chromatic motif played by piano and flute, similar in scoring to that of Playing With Danger, which is then played by low brass and piano. The ending lands on F#, simply stopping at the end of a phrase as opposed to a climactic finish.
