**0:12 and 0:24:**
We are wise to never speak our minds
For fear of the truth that we leave behind
**0:33 and 0:45:**
And when life gets too long, we can strive

**1:03-1:28:**
When all is told, all is said and done
Point me to the way back home
To all the friends made along the way
I love you, but I just can’t stay

**1:29-1:56:**
Because I’m a ghost
(Who are you?)
Hiding in the ocean
Searching for an answer
(Who are you?)
To bring me to life
I’m a ghost
(Who are you?)
Living in the shadows
Looking for a way out
(Who are you?)
Into the light

**2:10-2:36:**
With all the light in the universe
Shining down upon the Earth
How could I think that we’re all there is
Or destined for oblivion?

**2:37-3:03:**
And I’m a ghost
(Who are you?)
Hiding in the ocean
Searching for an answer
(Who are you?)
To bring me to life
I’m a ghost
(Who are you?)
Living in the shadows
Looking for a way out
(Who are you?)
Into the light

**4:10-5:08:**
I’m a ghost
(Who are you?)
Hiding in the ocean
Searching for an answer
(Who are you?)
To bring me to life
I’m a ghost
(Who are you?)
Living in the shadows
Looking for a way out
(Who are you?)
Into the light

## Trivias/Notes:

* Majority of the songs have a Leitmotif, If you want to know better, go to "Leitmotifs in Cognitive Dissonance"
* To The Future has its lyrics under the Bandcamp page, however, the lyrics were not used anywhere on the game/music, possibly being joke feelings
* Im**boss**ible! Has a very obvious joke, since its also the boss theme of Elmadan
* The Tracks "endless", "eye3", "griver" and "gdesert" are unused, and can only be found inside the game's files, possibly were used as placeholders
	+ The Track "endless" was supposed to be used on the 1.3 for only 2 rooms
* The reason of the Higher Quality Versions of Speak (Specially the ones present on the OST Version), is because Bill Eager lost the original recording of the song, making the Original and Soundtrack version have some compression differences
* Inside of the game files for "musics", some tracks have alot of notes/trivias
	+ Every music made by Fire Geno, is marked as "stuff" on the Album section
	+ Speak and Ghosts were marked as a "Coma Reborn" on the Album section, because both songs were originaly on the Coma Reborn Album by Bill Eager
	+ King of The World was marked as "Mother Super Star OST", meaning that the song itself was used for a Soundtrack on Mother: Super Star
	+ otherhand was marked at the songs "Giygas Hesitates", "Giygas Howls" and "Giygas Remembers", possibly indicating that its just an edit or modification of the original song
	+ "You", Megalovania and King of The World has the "Intro Mix" Track
	+ Hi Hi Hi Track has both versions with the same informations, only being defined with "hihihi" and "byebye", being the only tracks that have cloned information
		- Similarly, this happens too with the Tracks "You Win!", having 4 in total
	+ "Rusted and Forgotten"; "The Distant Snowball"; "Last Stop", "This Town" and "Your Lucky Day in Hell" have their names related to the planets
		- Rusted and Forgotten (Mars); The Distant Snowball (Pluto); Last Stop, This Town (Cloudvale) and Your Lucky Day in Hell (Thunderton)
	+ The Power was named as "The Power (Alternate)", possibly because its the Alternative of the original Song
	+ Lamp\_of\_Sanctuary (The Track Originally from Mother 4/Oddity) is unused from the Mother 4/Oddity ost, but its used on Cognitive Dissonance as a Midi file, this also happens with Sad Theme from Mother 3 too, which is unused at Mother 3
	+ "Resolve" has 8 parts because its separated for each "Point of Power"
* Some Songs have some differenciated titles:
	+ In-Game
		- A Flash of Memory turns into **A Flash**
		- Messenger turns into **Life's Messenger** (only Presents)
		- Chill, Cool and Calm turns into **Chill, Cool, Calm**

* Supposedly, the Cover by Avielsusej on the Bonus Track, was supposed to be on the track "Lands that time forgot", but was changed for the bonus tracks, simillar happens at "Forever Unity, Boing!" Cover Art, it was originally supposed to be made by him, but happened to not be used, and instead, uses the one by otherhand
* Manson S. and otherhand worked on the cover arts too, Manson S. did Battle Against a Heavy Foe and A Fanciful Battle, and otherhand did Forever Unity, Boing! and Canyon Bounce, similar happens for Crav, who worked on the Cover Art for Dionaea Muscipula
* Supposedly, theres an unused Record for the color Indigo, which was supposed to have the song "Hostile Takeover", its unknown why its unused
* The Covers for Starman Symphony and The Piano Saloon have characters that never appear in the game
	+ In Starman Symphony, a character known as Martian appears and in game he is only mentioned, but never shown. But in the Cover it shows the official design, which was made by Wakamolez himself, being the only official design of them
	+ In The Piano Saloon, 2 Characters appear that were never even mentioned in the game, only appering in the Soundtrack Cover, but both of 2 characters are called Lars (The Shambler with a bracelet in her hair) and Terry (The White Mook with Red Eyes), being both owned by anamatronicfish
