Search History
On May 10, 2024, Russian Reddit user pax307 posted on r/lostwave showing the part of the song being played on a Motorola VE240, which he claimed was found in the woods and happened to still be charged. [1]
Three days later, the user posted the full quality 30 second clip, supposedly extracted from the phone's SD card with the help of a friend. [2]
On April 7th, 2025, Discord users AzureBlast and Rayzox57 identified the song as "See You After the Show" by Matchbook Romance (under the name Fizzlewink) after using the software WerZatSong to find the song.
Theories
Note that these theories below are yet to be confirmed even now that the song has been identified.
Possible hoax
A theory regarding this song was that pax307 knew the song and made up the details about where he found it, creating a "staged search". This is mainly because the premise of the search seemed unrealistic. The screenshot of the phone's SD card that pax307 provided in his follow-up post about the song implies that the song was added to the SD card through a computer, rather than being recorded on the phone itself. If the audio was recorded with the phone itself, it would be in the "my_sounds" or "my_music" folder. However, the screenshot showed the audio file being on the root of the SD card instead, which would suggest that the file was transferred to the SD card on a computer.
Used in a show
Others have said that the song could be used as a show intro, but no evidence to back this up was ever provided.
Presumed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can’t wait to see you, after the show
Built up the guts to talk to you, I just don’t know
Maybe we can have some time and do something that’s on your mind
I’m not likely to say no
[Pre-chorus]
Just tell me where you wanna go
If I could see your smile
We’d sing and hang out for a while
You and me,
If I could see you smile
We’d sing and hang it for a while
[Chorus 1]
It’s so familiar
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show
And I can hardly wait
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show
[Post-chorus]
See you after the show
[Verse 2]
And now the lights are low
And it’s time for us to go
I see you outside, waiting for your ride
This is my last chance to tell you what’s on my mind
Don’t wanna let you go
Don’t wanna leave the show without you
[Pre-chorus]
If I could see your smile
We’d sing and hang out for a while
You and me,
If I could see your smile
We’d sing and hang out for a while
[Chorus 2]
It’s so familiar
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show
And I can hardly wait
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show!
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus 2]
It’s so familiar
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show
And I can hardly the wait
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show
It’s so familiar
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show
And I can hardly wait
Just what I want, just what I want
To see you after the show
