Driven to Suicide: A likely fate of the disillusioned dreamer by the final verse of "Eldorado", where it's implied he's jumping off a building:

Epic Rocking: While none of the tracks are any longer than six minutes, "Mr. Kingdom" came close, and the seamless transitions made the individual tracks seem like parts of a suite.

Shell-Shocked Veteran: A medieval variant in "Boy Blue", where a Crusader had returned to his cheering village. From the Crusader's point of view, he had seen the hell of war, and vowed to never again take up arms for any king.
