Line 65:
** The comics, plus two discontinued series, plus retcons throughout the first two volumes of the current series
** The novels, which, if they are written, will be in a slightly different timeline.
* [[Downer Ending]]: both volumes of the comic: Volume one has a minor downer ending, with {{spoiler|Coheed and Cambria being ready to die, and}} everything looking generally not good. However, Volume Two has {{spoiler|Coheed and Cambria dead after disrupting the Keywork, the [[Our Angels Are Different|Prise]]}} apparently mostly dead after they sacrifice themselves {{spoiler|to fix the Keywork, the resistance torn apart, their leader Mariah dead, [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] Inferno (at least, judging by the flash-forwards) somewhat insane, and Claudio Kilgannon, the Keywork's saviour,}} bitter and apathetic, simply living his life out in a sewer. The villains have lost a single named character, {{spoiler|Admiral Crom, whose resurrection (possibly [[Wild Mass Guessing|as a giant robot, judging by a couple images in the ''No World For Tomorrow'' lyric book]] is strongly hinted at.}}
** Averted in ''Year of the Black Rainbow'': {{spoiler|The main bad guys all survive (though they still get the crap kicked out of them), but the KBI destroy House Atlantic, the Prise decimate the URA fleet, the Black Rainbow disappears, and Inferno gives Coheed and Cambria the opportunity to have a normal life.}} Of course, considering how the rest of the series plays out, this is little comfort in the long run.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: With the song titles "Apollo I: The Writing Writer" and "The Lying Lies & Dirty Secrets of Miss Erica Court"
Line 74:
* [[Faceless Mooks]]: The Red Army
* [[Face of the Band]]: Claudio Sanchez, singer/guitarist, and he also writes the comics the band's songs are based on (and thus the lyrics). His memorable physical appearance helps too.
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Claudio
** [[The Lancer]]: Travis
Line 81:
** [[The Chick]]: Wes Styles (touring keyboardist/backing vocals)
* [[Gorn]]: The ''Year of the Black Rainbow'' novel has quite a few gory deaths.
* [[Half -Human Hybrid]]: Cambria has traces of Mage DNA; this is suggested to be the source of her [[Psychic Powers]].
* [[Hollywood Cyborg]]: Coheed (and possibly other IRO-bots), Crom, and Deftinwolf.
* [[I Call It Vera]]: Al the Killer's rifle, "The Faint of Hearts"
Line 93:
* [[Narm]]: The [[Word Salad Lyrics]] can't be taken seriously every moment.
** Also because it's easy to mishear the lyrics, even causing mild [[Memetic Mutation]] in the fandom with some common or hilarious ones (Most famously "Barking Apple of Doom" in ''Welcome Home'' and "Should the Iron Negro Hungry" in ''In Keeping Secrets of a Silent Earth: 3.'')
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Josephine}}'s body contains the Monstar antidote. Guess who gets killed by {{spoiler|Coheed}}.
* [[Offing the Offspring]]: Coheed and Cambria do this early on by poisoning their two youngest children, beating their injured older daughter to death with a hammer, but never get a chance to kill their other son...because they realize that {{spoiler|[[Mind Screw|their children weren't infected with a disease that would kill the Keywork]]}}
* [[One of Us]]: Claudio. All the way
Line 121:
** Although the line has been altered somewhat in the rerelease, Cambria says a few things that sound like lines from [[Star Wars]].
** 2113 is named in homage to [[Rush]]'s album ''2112''.
* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The main title of songs 7-9 on In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 is either "The Velourium Camper" or "The Camper Velourium"--the original CD and many websites list it as "Velourium Camper", but the re-released CD and official website list it as "Camper Velourium."
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Many:
** The song "Time Consumer", when you realize it's about two parents being forced to kill their children.
** During Coheed and Cambria's rampage throughout the ship ''Gloria vel Vessa'', they encounter numerous soldiers who plead for their lives, mentioning that they have families and kids to take care of. {{spoiler|[[Offing the Offspring|Considering what General Mayo Deftinwulf forced Coh and Cam to do]], [[Berserk Button|this is not a good idea]].}}
* [[Voice of the Legion]]: Used in a few songs, most noticeably ''"The Velourium Camper III: Al The Killer"''
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Poor, poor Sizer.
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]: Jesse "Inferno" Kilgannon, all the way:
{{quote| "These worlds need a hero...and I burn the [[Artificial Human|pro]][[The Corps Is Mother|to]][[Killer Robot|ty]][[Super Soldier|pes]]."}}
* [[Word Salad Lyrics]]: Considering that their songs follow a plot based directly on a series of comics, this isn't surprising.
