Signal Bars ft. Fiona J (Game Edit)

from Signal bars - ft. Fiona J (EP) by Olivier Deriviere

about

Critics are baffled by the weirdly happy song that plays during the cemetery scene in Get Even: "...In one section, a completely unsuitable pop song with a girl's voice breaks the gloomy mood." - Hartmut Gieselmann (www.heise.de)

It's a great question: Why on earth does this song suddenly intrude on the cemetery gameplay? Is there answer? You bet there is. Are we going to tell you, or should we leave you to figure it out with your own smarts? For the time being, we'd prefer to keep quiet on the answer. You know what they say - "Mum's the word!"

lyrics

Time ticks by
Everyone afloat
Aimlessly
Lost at sea
With no port


And I wanted to tell
And I needed to say
Everything to be said
for my heart to be held

And I wanted to tell
And I needed to say
Everything to be said
for my heart to be held

I don't live my life in doubt
I'm always out and about
I get Mobile in the global
No connection please retry
No reception no requite
Signal bars and single bars
Such a snap for all to smile
While away the hours while

My routine is not a screen
I'm just living as I mean
Trying to rake in all that green
While I'm takin' in the scene
Passing self driving cars
Full of snapping selfie stars
All these faces in these places
Fade like faulty phone call traces

And I wanted to tell
And I needed to say
All the things to be said
for my heart to be held

And I wanted to tell
And I want you to tell
And I needed to say
And I need you to say
All the things to be said
for your heart to be held


Through the glass of my own reflection
Is the strongest link the best best best connection
Driving back beneath the stars
I say goodnight to signal bars


Through the glass of my own reflection
Is the strongest link the best best best connection
Like I'm living life on Mars
I say goodnight to signal bars

GPSing all my rides
Passing all the painted brides
Laughing til’ it hurts my sides
Time and space it all collides
Seeing words like You Are Here
Now an existential fear
Facial recognition lies
like a prison in disguise

Time ticks by
Everyone afloat
Aimlessly
Lost at sea
With no port

Time ticks by
Everybody floats
Let them see
All but me
Life’s too short

Through the glass of my own reflection
Is the strongest link the best best best connection
Driving back beneath the stars
And I say goodnight to signal bars


Through the glass of my own reflection
Is the strongest link the best best best connection
Like I'm living life on Mars
I say goodnight to signal bars
