* NoMusicAllowed: The album takes place in a dystopian future where music has been outlawed by the reigning monarchy and machines called "noise machines" or [=NOMACs=] emit obnoxious sounds in their stead. The first proper song, "The Gift of Music", paints how dull the situation was when The Protagonist came to the city.
--> ''''We are living day-to-day\\
forced to bear the lion's share\\
people just don't have the time for music anymore,\\
but no one seems to care"''
* NoNameGiven: Despite being a major character in the album, Daryus is never once named. Made even more ironic when in "A Tempting Offer" he asks for recognition from both Arhys and Xander.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Several of the characters (like Faythe and Gabriel) have their own individual themes that reoccur in various guises throughout the album. Heaven's Cove also has its own theme in Act II. Some characters are represented through certain styles as well, like Nafaryus being represented with more classic genres like tango and dixieland.
