Trope back the river, let me look in your eyes:

  • Break Up Song: Some of his songs are these, notably "Let It Go".
    Now we're sleeping on the edge
    Holding something we don't need
    All this delusion in our heads
    Is gonna bring us to our knees
    So come on, let it go
    Just let it be
    Why don't you be you
    And I'll be me?
  • Lyrical Dissonance: "Best Fake Smile" is rather upbeat for a song whose message is to discourage people from covering their sadness by pretending to be happy.
  • Stepford Smiler: "Best Fake Smile" shows how hiding your sadness is a bad thing.
    No, you don't have to wear your best fake smile
    Don't have to stand there and burn inside, oh oh oh
    If you don't like it
