Transcribed the song lyrics

[CreeperJoe]

I sometimes have a hard time discerning lyrics in songs, so I was a little disappointed the game didn't display lyrics. I took the time to figure out the lyrics anyways, so I'm going to post them. Let me know if I misheard anything.

"Laser Eyes"
I am an old woman
I'm yesterday's news
I dream in black and white
See it all through laser eyes

I am an old woman
I was born to sing the blues
I dream in black and white
See it all through laser eyes

Before I go
Before I grow old
I'll see it all through laser eyes
I'll see it all through laser eyes
I'll see it all through laser eyes
I'll see it all through laser eyes

"Radio Waves"
Would you be my dream projection
Screening all the walls of past?
A video of my recollection
Magic picture show broadcast
And what's your strange reflections
In your mirror movie universe?
You're cinema perfection
But you always play back in reverse
(Always play back in reverse!)

There's nowhere
There's nowhen
Drifting in the radio waves, we'll meet again
This is not
How we end
Drifting in the radio waves, we'll meet again

I would be your ghost transmission
Beaming through the silent night
Tragic on your television
Filmed in purple, black and white
(Filmed in purple, black and white!)

There's nowhere
There's nowhen
Drifting in the radio waves, we'll meet again
This is not
How we end
Drifting in the radio waves, we'll meet again

An old enigma from a phonograph
A cryptogram recording of this song will be your epitaph
It goes
Like this

There's nowhere
There's nowhen
Drifting in the radio waves, we'll meet again
This is not
How we end
Drifting in the radio waves, we'll meet again
We'll meet again

I love the Device 6 soundtrack and often listen to it, and love Jonathan Eng's work in that.

This just floored me. I think after so much silence, this felt so much more powerful.

Not enough people have played Device 6, but it’s hard to recommend it to anyone anymore when Lorelei expands on it so thoroughly. I still really like the suave jazzy feel of the Device 6 OST though, and it’s recurring leitmotif.

I dunno. I think you can. I think Device 6 is a calmer affair, more dreamlike... just position it as an immersive storybook with light puzzle elements.

I loved the game, I have the posters, I'm a fan boy. It has made me a lifetime fan of Simogo, and Laser Eyes has not disappointed.

I'll also big up Sailor's Dream, and I may be completely off base but I took the text in The Sensational December Machine to be a lament that people didn't get it, and can't just enjoy an experience for its own sake. That there must always be a purpose.

Yeah, Simogo said the response to the Sailor's Dream inspired the Sensational December Machine on their website.

I remember being pretty disappointed the Sailor's Dream didn't follow in the footsteps of Year Walk and Device 6, at the time. But I was also a young teen then, and was really judging the game based off what I expected instead of trying to engage with what it was doing. At the end of the day you can't really blame people for expecting another dark puzzle game a year after Simogo busted out two in a row, but I still kinda feel like I missed out by not giving the game a real chance. I'm probably going to give Sailor's Dream another try, one of these days.

When Lorelei released, I was excited that Simogo finally made another game that followed in the legacy of Device 6 and Year Walk. And in a certain way, it does feel vindicating that Lorelei is everything I could've dreamed of and more, back then. I don't know what Simogo is going to do next, but I don't expect them to make another puzzle game again, even if I really like their puzzles. It feels like they've already taken that as far as it can go in Lorelei. So I'm probably going to give their next project a shot no matter what it winds up being.
