!!''I will trope, I will trope for you'':
* ActOfTrueLove: "Hopeless Wanderer" involves a man vowing to try and stay tied down to one place despite his inherent need to roam when he sees how bad it hurts his lover.
* ArcWords: "There will come a time" and variants thereof pop up in a handful of their songs.
* BadassBoast: "You haven't met me, I am the only son!"
* DestructiveRomance: "Unfinished Business".
* DidYouThinkICantFeel:
** "Blank White Page" is about the singer losing his temper at the person he's in (unrequited) love with taking advantage of his devotion.
** "Thistle and Weeds" is about the singer calling out someone they trust for hurting them because of their own shortcomings.
* DyingAlone: In "After The Storm", the singer is afraid that this will happen to him.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: The singer in "Ghosts That We Knew" and their lover eventually recover from previous emotional trauma and head on towards a brighter future.
* HoldingOutForAHero
-->If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy\\
I could have won.
* TheInvisibleBand: In the video for "Hopeless Wanderer", the band members themselves do not appear, and are instead played by comic actors Jason Bateman, Ed Helms, Will Forte, and Jason Sudeikis. Let's just say they get [[LargeHam a little too into their performance]].
* IWillWaitForYou: "I Will Wait".
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Repeated throughout "Little Lion Man" is the singer admitting that he was responsible for destroying the relationship and hurting the one he loved.
-->'''But it was not your fault but mine'''\\
But it was your heart on the line\\
I really fucked it up this time\\
Didn't I, my dear?
* NeverBeHurtAgain: Implied to be the cause of the singer's conflict between his head and his heart in "Winter Winds". Unusually, it's his ''head'' that urges letting him love again, and his heart that refuses to.
* NewSoundAlbum:
** The band expressed a disinterest with continuing to write acoustic folk music beyond their second album, and, after working with producer and guitarist [[Music/TheNational Aaron Dessner]], progressed towards a more amplified alternative rock sound on ''Wilder Mind''.
** The ''Johannesburg'' EP sounds entirely different from ''Wilder Mind'' and their older stuff as well, owing to the contribution of the African artists they were touring with at the time.
* NonAppearingTitle: "Dust Bowl Dance", "Timshel".
* PrayerIsALastResort: In an unusually threatening way:
-->There will come a time I will look in your eye\\
You will pray to the god that you've always denied
* PrecisionFStrike: Happens in one song per album, for their first three albums: "Little Lion Man", "Broken Crown", and "Monster". Also happens in "Blind Leading the Blind", which was originally supposed to be on ''Delta'', and "Cannibal", a song on Marcus Mumford's 2022 self-titled album.
* ShoutOut: The entirety of the TitleTrack to ''Sigh No More'' references the Creator/WilliamShakespeare comedy Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing, the song itself (and the album, for that matter) being [[TitledAfterTheSong titled after the song]] that Balthasar sings in Act 2, Scene 3, and the lyric "But man is a giddy thing" being taken directly from [[spoiler: Benedick's final monologue near the end of the play, which he speaks to Don Pedro upon swearing love to Beatrice]].
* RefusalOfTheCall: "Broken Crown".
-->Touch my mouth and hold my tongue\\
I'll never be your chosen one.
* UnrequitedLoveLastsForever: "Where Are You Now" is about a man who is still in love with his ex, who's long since gotten over him.
* YouAreNotAlone: "Timshel".
-->You are not alone in this
