Lyrics

The virtual is going in the way

Keep it tight so no one will stray

Staring at a light, needless to say

That I'll be alright, I'll write home

And your tears sting, friend

You have waited the end out there

Golden hour finding

You stand still, stare at my stupid bedroom

All that I wanted wasn't unwanted

Oh, and I wonder why I'm not wanted

All that I wanted was not there

But I dared

Be wanted

Yeah, in a corridor

Yeah, and you call me

Yeah, when I see you

You, you know damn well

Throw back arms, I love you

And I won't be bothering with mourning

It's crucial that you see the truth

When looking for yourself

Not useless observations

Hey

Yeah, in a corridor

Yeah, and you call me

Yeah, when I see you

You, you know damn well

About

On September 19, 2017, the official Facebook account for Life is Strange posted singer and writer Elena's interpretation of the song.

"This song was the last to be finished for the soundtrack. It was in scratchy demo form for a while as other songs and themes were more of a priority for us to get finished and ready for the first episode. This song was kind of an added extra, the whole song finished in a bit of a daze, I just let the song take it’s own shape. Layered a couple of bass lines and improvised the guitar parts and the vocals - a few things were re-recorded but a lot is pretty much first take.

I wanted to create a song for Chloe whilst also thinking about my own time as a teenager. To me it speaks about those crushing feelings of embarrassment. It’s a song for friendship and a song for first loves. When someone you like is standing in your “stupid bedroom” - where suddenly everything you thought was cool in there just melts around you. Being a teenager can be a lonely time, it was for me in many ways but I also wanted the group vocals to feel a bit like the girl gang I had at school, all my lovely friends who pulled me out of that inner loneliness “It’s crucial that you see the truth when looking for yourself, not useless observations” was a little message that I would have given to Chloe if we were friends. It’s half a recreation of my teenage voice and half my adult voice looking back, observing the scenes."
