[SPOILER] - Radio Waves song secret ?

[ppolygone]

Hi !

I'm questionning myself about a possible undiscovered secret in the game. I think the songs are quite important (Laser Eyes litteraly spoils an entire plot of the game). And in the last one, the credits one, "Radio Waves", there are some lyrics talking about how "this is not how we end".
Just some lyrics that I found revelant :
"there's no end"
"drifting in the radio waves we'll meet again"
"this is not how we end"
"an old enigma from the phonograph"
"a cryptogram recording of this song will be our epitaph"

The car radio and the phonographs are two of the three things (with the tampons) that have no use in the game. I have no idea how it would workk, but could they hide one last enigma for us to discover ?

I agree with you.
Maybe it's the phonograph noise in this song.
I think they count the noises that are assigned to the right, center, and left, and enter them as they go along.

Additionally, the end lyric of the first verse "You're cinema perfection but you always play back in reverse" doesn't have any meaning in the song I can come up with. Perhaps "play back in reverse" is a clue.

Yes you are right ! I really think there is something "meta" to do with all of these. I wish someone will have the time to try things haha

Reading this interview, I see that Simon, the producer, is firmly involved in this song. Apparently, there is no doubt he hid something in this song.

I'm also looking for the answer to this mystery!
I was hoping that the gramophone music in the game would have interruptions similar to the "It goes like this" part in the song. And I thought that the number of times could be used as a phone number.
I looked around the hotel for phonograph sounds, but couldn't find anything like that :’-(

I thought there might be something in the spectrogram of the song or playing it in reverse but didn't see or hear anything.

From that interview, Laser Trails, the original version of this song, mentions "try to see with blurry vision; all that's left is negative space". It's interesting because it doesn't fit the tempo of the song well at all - the words have to be rushed to fit the space.

Based on the interview, though, it sounds like they couldn't really have hidden anything within the track itself, only the lyrics or basic melody, since it was heavily modified after they were done with their part. If these -are- instructions, then they're instructions meant to be applied to something else.

That's my guess, anyway.

There's that weird manifesto about cinema perfection in the game, too. There was no use for it in any of the game's puzzles.

No idea if it is related. Hard to tell. Cinema Sostenuto is kind of interesting. A sostenuto is a musical modifier that means to hold the note.

Additionally, in the first disc there's a morse code message when you turn to the magician channel. Does anyone know what it translates to? It didn't seem to be required to solve any puzzles.

I know I'm mad late to this game, but the excitement has taken over me lol - it feels like back in the days of the ole san andreas paranormal research :p anyway I'm not that great at things that extend beyond the world of the game itself - as in spectograms, args, etc.. but I'm trying to mess around with some things in game. particularly if I can do anything with the eyes if I don't insert them into the statues and seeing if there's anything with the car radio - maybe some directional input or idk.. nothing exciting. but I wanted to revitalize the thread and see if this is pretty much where we left it off?
