Masked in an upbeat pop instrumental ‘Whatever It Takes’ ebbs and flows between two states of mind. With the choruses presenting a more positive state of mind and outlook and the verses leaning into a more negative ‘dissociative’ state in which a person no longer recognises themselves and has become a servant to their own mind. Despite this ebb and flow the song remains overall hopeful with an overpowering sense and outlook of eventually overcoming those episodic negative feelings.

Whatever It Takes

Trust

Patience’s latest single ‘I’ll Be Fine’ is the newest release from the bands upcoming EP ‘Third Time Lucky’. 'I'll Be Fine' is an energetic math-rock / emo infused anthem which tackles themes of: an ever-changing perspective on life, anxiety, stage fright and the use of music as an outlet.

I'll Be Fine

I nearly said it out loud when you put your arm round me
I should know better than to think that that means anything
I wanna see inside your mind
To make sure you’re who I think you are
But I don’t wanna screw this up

You said you don’t wanna be more than friends
How you’re acting don’t make much sense

You’ve blown my mind
Changed my life
I’m broken inside
What if I’m never what you want

I think I’m reading into this
But I don’t care cos
Ignorance is bliss
Maybe you’re leading along

Am I affectionate?
Or do you need more from me?
Or am I fictional?
I’m only imaginary

Mixed messages are all you’re sending

You’ve blown my mind
Changed my life
I’m broken inside
What if I’m never what you want

It’s all in my head
You love someone else instead
I know that you’ve made it clear
But something tells me it’s not over yet
Waiting for all this to end
Maybe I should just be brave and
Stop all of this
You’re no good for me anyway

Bliss

'Nothing's Ever As Good As It Seems' is about feeling like a puppet on a string and trying to be a better version of yourself to fit in with those in the world around you. It's about feeling lost in who you are and the decisions you make and not being able to see a way out even in moments that are supposed to uplift you or bring you joy.

Nothing's Ever As Good As It Seems
