The five stages of grief in the Acts

I've been analysing and making a story outline/storyboard of the Acts and I noticed that the five stages of grief fit quite well within a few songs.

  1. Denial = Red Hands ("Maybe this is just a work of art")

  2. Bargaining = Where The Road Parts ("Meet me where the road parts" = to discuss their relationship/future. A little vague, but I couldn't find a better fit)

  3. Anger = Dear Ms. Leading (also some denial with Hunter denying that he ever felt anything for Ms. Leading)

  4. Depression = Vital Vessels Vindicate ("My eyes cry heavy tears"), also kind of the ending of In Cauda Venenum ("Traveled all this way just to find love")

  5. Acceptance = Waves ("We knew exactly how it'd end")

Deliberate or not, I really like that there is some semblance of the fives stages of grief being used in the Acts.
