Patience
Marsmobil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How is it like for you to hide
Just take a look of what you've done
You must be dreaming, don't you run
Nobody knows except the bird
That listens to you to every word
Words are are changing
Patience
Crying out loud
Floating downstream
Feeling supreme
Try to be different every day
Love doesn't seem to really stay
Is there a place where we can be
Every mistake is what we see
Day after day without command
Open your eyes, you'll understand
Words are changing
Patience
Head in the clouds
Crying out loud
Floating downstream
Feeling supreme
Head in the clouds
Crying out loud
Floating downstream
Feeling supreme
The lyrics of Marsmobil's song "Patience" seem to be about a person who is struggling with change and finding their place in the world. The first stanza talks about the person being asked to look at things from a different perspective ("take the other side"), and questions how it feels to hide from reality. The second stanza touches on the idea that no one truly knows someone else's thoughts or experiences, but that we should have patience and listen to each other. The chorus reinforces the theme of daydreaming and floating along without direction, while the bridge alludes to the struggle of finding lasting love and the difficulty in accepting our mistakes.
The overall message seems to be to take a step back and appreciate the world around you with an open mind and heart. The lyrics suggest that in order to gain a deeper understanding of the world and ourselves, we must be willing to take risks, make mistakes, and embrace change.
