Patience
Mar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Damn you for trusting me
What's wrong with you?
I'll work for nothing less.

Damn you for accepting my immaturity
When I scream for silence
Child, I'll work for nothing less.
I need patience, and someone strong enough to hold my breath for me until the smoke clears.
I need patience, and time to think before I speak, for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.
Damn you for letting me sleep till noon
And get away with it.
I'll work for nothing less.

Damn you for keeping quiet when I like to
I won't work for anything less.

I need patience, and someone strong enough to hold my breath for me until the smoke clears.
I need patience, and time to think before I speak, for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.
Ahhhhh, ahhhhh, aaaah...
I need patience, and someone strong enough to hold my breath for me until the smoke clears.




I need patience, and time to think before I speak, for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie.
I need patience, and time to think before I speak, for when I'm short of breath, I tend to lie

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maria Mena's song "Patience" revolve around the theme of self-awareness and frustration with one's own flaws. The singer is addressing someone who has been patient with them and recognizing that they have taken advantage of that patience. They are acknowledging that they need to work on themselves and improve their behavior, but they also need someone else to support and guide them through the process.


The first stanza mentions the frustration of the person who has been trusting and accepting despite the singer's immaturity. The singer recognizes that this trust and acceptance should not be taken for granted, and promises to work harder for it. The second stanza discusses the singer's need for patience and someone to hold their breath until the smoke clears. This can be interpreted as needing someone to help them think and guide them through their impulsive and sometimes dishonest behavior. The final stanza continues to emphasize the need for patience and self-reflection to avoid lying.


Ultimately, the song is about recognizing one's flaws and the need for self-improvement, but also acknowledging that change is not an easy journey and requires the support of someone who is strong and patient.

We born not knowing?
Are we born knowing all?
Are we growing wiser?
Or we just growing tall?
Can you read thoughts?
Can read palms....up.
Can you predict the future ?
Can you see storms .....
coming?
The earth was flat if you went to far you would fall off.
Now the earth is round,if the shape changed again everybody would've start laugh.
The average man can't prove of most of the things that he choses to speak of.
