This album provides examples of:

• Anaphora: On the first three lyrics of each verse of "Don't Ask Me":
  No longer wanting
  No longer longing
  No longer burning
• Break Up Song: "Fire in the Driveway":
  And I know it’s the truth
  I’m better off without you
  But I can’t seem to say it to your face
• Capitalism Is Bad: Adressed on the opening lyrics of "Newdemo":
  A creature that feeds behind closed doors
  There's nothing it needs
  But money and greed
  And a warm place to sleep
  And the men up on the hill
  Are playing their cards like it’s all for thrills
  But what about us
  We're playing for blood
  And we're playing for keeps
• Collectible Card Game: Part of the album's promotion is Alison being featured on different Magic: The Gathering-like cards.
• The Darkness Gazes Back: On "Following Eyes":
  Following eyes, a sound in the night
  It's something risen from below
  A horrible sight, a chill in my spine
  Something living in the glow
• Despair Event Horizon: On "Still":
  I don’t know how to feel things small
  It’s a tidal wave or nothing at all
  I can’t believe in Heaven now
  It’s been Hell on Earth for a second
• Dream Pop
• Driven to Suicide: Subverted on "Still":
  Okay, you win, I'll end my life
  Drive to the bridge just to overthink it
  I never jump, it’s a crutch of mine
  Drive to the bridge just to stand there thinkin’
  My life stands still
• The End of the World as We Know It: On "Newdemo":
  And thе rain will pound us down
  And before we know the world will drown
  We're gonna sink
  We stand at the brink
  Right before the big plunge
• Face on the Cover
• The Great Flood: Mentionned on "Newdemo":
  And before we know the world will drown
  We're gonna sink
  We stand at the brink
  Right before the big plunge
• One-Word Title: "Bones", "Shotgun", "Newdemo" and "Still".
• Shoegazing
• Shout-Out: "Darkness Forever" undoubtedly references Sylvia Plath's suicide:
  Head in the oven
  Didn't sound so crazy
