The Temper Tropes:

• Alliterative Name: The Temper Trap.
• Break Up Song: "Love Lost".
  Our love was lost
  In the rubble are all the things
  That you've, you've been dreaming of
  Keep me in mind
  When you're ready
  I am here to take you every time
• Lyrical Dissonance: "Love Lost" is rather upbeat for a Break Up Song.
• Ode to Youth: "Sweet Disposition" is about the innocence of youth.
  So stay there
  'Cause I'll be coming over
  And while our blood's still young
  It's so young, it runs
  And won't stop 'til it's over
  Won't stop to surrender
