Lacrimosa describes "Elodia" as a conceptual album and Opera Rock, divided into three acts. The first act describes a love that is slowly overwhelmed; the second act describes the process of separation of this love; whereas the third act begins with a Requiem: Sanctus. Ending with a note of hope.

Elodia is an important album in the development of Lacrimosa's music, in the classical music area, with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Rosenberg Ensemble and the Hamburg State Opera contributing in orchestration. Sanctus is an example of this, based on the Christian Liturgy with the same name. This is not a completely orchestral work, because includes the voices of Tilo Wolff and a Solo guitar. However, this paved the road to Kyrie, from the album "Echos", a theme totally classic.
