Patience
Hitokiri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel resentment for the ones who've turned their backs on me
Disregard what we've been through
I will never turn my back on you
What happened to the passion that used to surge within?
You're rotting inside; your patience wears thin
What happened to the passion that used to surge within?
Just look around, look at everything
You may not be around to hear me sing
You've lost more than you've loved
You're not from a broken home, just a broken state of mind
You need to better yourself before I can help
If only you could come to terms
With what your actions have done
Disregard what we've been through
My back will never turn on you
I'm just fucking afraid
Because, when your father beats you, he's showing his love
When your mother degrades you, she pushes you out
But when your brothers abandon you, you're shit out of luck
My brother, I can feel you slipping away from me
I find my strength inside of friends and family
I feel resentment for the ones who've turned their backs on me
Go
Disregard what we've been through
My back will never turn on you
The lyrics of Hitokiri's song "Patience" contain themes of loyalty and familial relationships, as well as a sense of disappointment and frustration towards those who have shown abandonment or resentment. The opening lines express the singer's reliance on those who remain steadfast in their support, as well as their disdain for those who have rejected them. They vow to remain loyal to those who have stayed with them through thick and thin.
The chorus of the song asks what has happened to the passion and drive that used to fuel someone's life, and laments the feeling of watching someone waste away due to the lack of these qualities. The singer urges the listener to examine their life before it's too late, warning that they may miss out on the benefits of thriving relationships that they have yet to experience.
The final verse gives insight into the singer's own struggles, using powerful imagery to describe the abuse they have endured from their parents. Despite these challenges, they remain dedicated to the idea of supporting their loved ones, even if it means sacrificing their own well-being. The closing lines echo those from earlier in the song, emphasizing the singer's unwavering loyalty to those they care about.

What happened to the passion that used to surge within?
Where did the fire in your soul go?
You're rotting inside; your patience wears thin
Your mind and spirit are deteriorating, and you can't wait any longer
It used to beam like the sun, but now it grows dim
Your passion used to be bright and intense, but now it's fading
Just look around, look at everything
Take a good, hard look at your life
You may not be around to hear me sing
You might not be alive for much longer
You've lost more than you've loved
You've suffered more than you've experienced joy
You're not from a broken home, just a broken state of mind
Your problems are internal, not external
You need to better yourself before I can help
You must improve yourself before I can assist you
If only you could come to terms
If only you could accept the reality of the situation
With what your actions have done
With the negative consequences of your actions
My back will never turn on you
I will always support you, no matter what
I'm just fucking afraid
I'm terrified for your well-being
Because, when your father beats you, he's showing his love
Your father is abusive, and that's not love
When your mother degrades you, she pushes you out
Your mother is emotionally abusive
But when your brothers abandon you, you're shit out of luck
When your siblings leave you, you have no one left
My brother, I can feel you slipping away from me
I can sense that we're growing apart
