* AnAesop:
** [[spoiler:Most of what man aspires to achieve is done solely as means to reach another goal entirely. One should be careful to not sacrifice the end for the sake of means. Case in point, the very reason Johnny thought he wanted to go to the Moon was his metaphorical promise to River, and, without the memory of her, literally going to the Moon was meaningless. Johnny's true aspiration was his devotion to River, not to become an astronaut, so when his memories were rewritten, his true end was actually sacrificed for the sake of means. Fortunately, Johnny's subconscious desire results in River coming back in his rewritten memories anyways, and the last thing he remembers is them together.]]
** Also, [[spoiler:even if events happened long ago and were forgotten or followed by tragedy, it doesn't mean that those moments are meaningless or that they can't be appreciated. Although Johnny didn't remember his first meeting with River, it still resulted in their love and life together. Additionally, when Eva rewrites his memories to exclude River from his early life, Johnny still subconsciously wills her back, because he really cares for her more than the Moon.]]
* ArcWords: "Tell me what you see".

* AnAesop: It's okay to have regrets as long as you can still be happy with the life you've led.



* GrassIsGreener: The aesop of this episode, as the ending shows [[spoiler: that part of why Colin was dissatisfied with his life was simply because he thought he ''could'' change it]]. Colin's case was resolved by [[spoiler:removing the existence of Sigmund Corp. from his memory, so that he wouldn't second-guess everything he'd done]]. The ending song all-but namedrops the trope.

** When Colin recounts the events of ''A Bird Story'' to Faye, he says that everyone he's told the story to found it either too long and boring or too saccharine. Faye responds by saying it can't be helped that the story didn't resonate with everyone and that different people will have interpretations of it. This is a reference to the mixed reviews and opinions of ''A Bird Story'' when ''Finding Paradise'' was still in development.
