* PoseOfSilence: {{Subverted}} in "Brutus". The titular protagonist approaches Julius Caesar from behind and leans to his ear to whisper a rage-filled, envy-driven speech ("or am I just wishing I could be like you? that the people would see me too as a poet and not just the muse"). However, judging by Caesar's nonreaction, it's clear that he and the townspeople can't actually hear her.

* MurderBallad: "Brutus" is about the protagonist's descent into the jealousy-driven murder of her best friend; quoting her "this death will be art". As much as it pains her, she feels justified and harbors no remorse because there's no peaceful alternative for trying to correct a systemic issue--misogyny and a patriarchal society--that has denied her everything.

* IJustWantToBeYou: "Brutus" is sung from the point of view of a female Brutus as she grapples with feeling both admiration and gratitude for Caesar and all he's done for her alongside vicious envy and rage that he has the position she covets.

* HistoricalGenderFlip: In "Brutus", she reinterprets Marcus Junius Brutus as a woman with all of it'd imply in the very misogynistic Roman society. As a result, her motivations for murdering Julius Caesar expand from just feeling lesser due to humble origins to a matter of dignity and gender inequality.

!!Tropes associated with the Buttress's music:
* EtTuBrute: {{Inverted}} in "Brutus" because of the PerspectiveFlip. The traitor, the titular Brutus, feels as much pain as the betrayed, her brother of another womb Julius Caesar. She loves him but feels so robbed of agency and the right to even reach greatness that she ends up usurping him.
* GreenEyedMonster: In "Brutus", the Buttress admits she's murdering her best friend partly because of envy of his ruling position, male privilege, and the way people cling to his every word.
