Added DiffLines:

** ''Almost everything'' in ''When the World Becomes Undone'' can be interpreted as the singer experiencing this trope.


Added DiffLines:

** [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] with ''Cold, Dark Mourning'', which closes their second album. While the song is rather sad, it also involves the singer's hope that he'll be reunited with his dead friends in the afterlife.


Added DiffLines:

* TogetherInDeath: ''Cold, Dark Mourning'' is about a nonromantic version of this trope with the narrator stating his belief that he'll be able to see his dead friends again after his own death.
