Line 24:
* [[Arc Words]]: The phrase "tired eyes" has occurred in "I'll Meet You There", "Lonely Lullaby", and "Shooting Star".
* [[Book Ends]]: "The Real World" and "Strawberry Avalanche" begin and end with the same set of lyrics.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Imagine: he never would have got this famous if he didn't have insomnia.
* [[The Cameo]]:
** {{spoiler|Shaquille O'Neal}} in the video for "Vanilla Twilight".
Line 47:
** From "If My Heart was a House": "Chills run down my spine as ''our fingers intwine'' / And your sighs harmonize with mine."
** "We'll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow" is a bit more subtle, but it's still there.
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female Onon Male)]]: The lovestruck protagonist of "Deer in the Headlights" is pepper sprayed and punched in the face, respectively, by two women he approaches simply to say "Hello". [[Played for Laughs|Presumably this is intended to be funny]].
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: "Christmas Song". Go on, guess what it's about.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The male-Lights by fans of [[Lights]], Owl City fans tend to refer to her as the female-Owl City.
* [[Growing Up Sucks]]: "Fireflies" is partially about losing your childlike sense of wonder and imagination as you grow up.
Line 84:
{{quote| I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid.<br />
Cause I don't feel dead anymore, and I'm not afraid anymore. }}
* [[Name's the Same]]: As a certain [[Good Omens (Literature)|Antichrist]].
* [[Not Christian Rock]]: Adam Young is a professed Christian, but does not sing about it at all, which is rather nice actually.
** He does have a couple songs with some definite Christian overtones (see "Meteor Shower" and "Tidal Wave") and ''does'' mention Jesus in "Christmas Song" (because it's, you know, a ''Christmas song'') but that's really it.
