The album is a sequel to ''Metropolis Pt. 1: The Miracle and the Sleeper'', a song from the band's 1992 album ''Images and Words''. ''Scenes from a Memory'' greatly expands on the story and thematic concept originally presented in the song using narrative lyrics from the points of view of multiple characters interspersed with technically and rhythmically detailed music and instrumentals.

 

 

* [[Arc Words]]: The phrase "Open your eyes" appears many times throughout the album. The first person who says this is the Hypnotherapist at the beginning of the album, but the words are later repeated by {{spoiler|Edward right before he kills Victoria}} and by {{spoiler|the Hypnotherapist before he kills Nicholas}}.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Nicholas starts as a relatively happy man and slowly is broken as he learns about Victoria's life and premature death until the point at which he breaks down crying at her grave.

* [[Gospel Revival Number]]: "The Spirit Carries On" has shades of this.

* [[Ironic Echo]]:

* [[Murder Ballad]]: "Fatal Tragedy" and "Beyond This Life."

* [[Spoken Word in Music]]: The album contains voice acting for the Hypnotherapist, Victoria, Julian, and Edward.
