== Leitmotif == | |||
In accordance with the album's presentation as a pseudo-musical, the album contains multiple instances of lyrics and melodies being repeated and reused in different songs. | |||

|- | |||
! Song Name !! Samples used | |||
|- | |||
| Introduction To The Snow || The entire song, save for the instrumental intro, is repeated at the beginning of 'Dream Sweet in Sea Major' though most of the lyrics are changed. | |||
|- | |||
| Isle Unto Thyself || The melody of the bridges is the same as used in the post-chorus of 'Variations on a Cloud'. | |||
|- | |||
| Black Rainbows || The line "And lo the hues arrange to show it's perfectly clear" reappears in 'Dream Sweet in Sea Major', Though the melody is different. | |||
|- | |||
| White Ball || none. | |||
|- | |||
| Murders || The Melody of the bridge also appears in the third verse of 'Variations on a Cloud' with altered lyrics. | |||
|- | |||
| 宇宙ステーションのレベル7 || The bridge shares it's melody and most of it's lyrics with the first bridge of 'Dream Sweet in Sea Major', though the final line, "Lance-toi et tu vivras toujours ce soir" translates to "You'll live forever tonight", the final line of 'Introduction to the Snow'. | |||
|- | |||
| The Mind Electric || Supposedly there's a sample of the piano line in 'Murders' and a reference to 'Labyrinth' but i haven't found them myself. | |||
|- | |||
| Labyrinth || none. | |||
|- | |||
| Time Machine || none. | |||
|- | |||
| Stranded Lullaby || none. | |||
|- | |||
| Dream Sweet In Sea Major|| The songs opening is near identical to Introduction to the Snow, though the song ditches the piano introduction and instead begins at the start of the vocals; most of the lyrics are also changed. The pizzicato line that plays (with some variation) through the songs second movement is the same melody as the refrain in 'Variations on a Cloud' (though sped up and maybe with a different time signature?). The first bridge shares it's melody and half of it's lyrics with '宇宙ステーションのレベル7'. The line "And lo the hues arrange to show it's perfectly clear" is repeated from 'Black Rainbows'. Finally, the first verse of the final movement carries the same melody as the piano that began the album. | |||
|- | |||
| Variations On A Cloud || The melody of the third verse is the same as the bridge in 'Murders', The post chorus has the same melody as the bridge from 'Isle Unto Thyself' and the refrain is a slower version of the melody used for the pizzicato line in 'Dream Sweet in Sea Major'. The final section of the song also shares the melody and lyrics (with slight variations) of [[Ruler of Everything]]. | |||
