Jay Watson (also of Tame Impala), Nick Allbrook (ex-Tame Impala), Shiny Joe Ryan, Jamie Terry, and James Ireland.
The original idea of Pond was to be able to get anyone they wanted to play whatever they wanted in a collaborative musical project.

Their second album, Corridors of Blissterday, was completed live with an eight piece band in five days, and released in June 2009.

Patience
Pond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll sleep instead in the other room
A hollow heart, a different bed
In home movies raising your hands
Remembering you until I can't

You waited for me once
Patience

Gone long enough to find out
I'll distract myself and let it rot
You don't need to tell me you're back now
It's not the same, I know it's not

One thing's true
I love you

Overall Meaning

The song "Patience" by Pond is a heart-wrenching account of a person's struggle to move on from a broken relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of longing, regret, and a deep sense of loss. The first verse, "I'll sleep instead in the other room, a hollow heart, a different bed" describes how the singer is struggling to adjust to a new reality without their former partner. They feel hollow inside, and sleeping in a different bed is symbolic of the physical separation they must endure.

The next lines "In home movies raising your hands, remembering you until I can't" evoke a sense of nostalgia and a longing to hold onto the past. The singer is holding onto memories of their former partner, watching old home movies, and reminiscing about times when they were together. They're holding onto those memories until they can't any longer because deep down, they know that their former partner is no longer with them.

The chorus of the song is "You waited for me once, patience" which is a plea to the former partner to wait for them again. However, the singer knows that they have been gone for too long and that it may be too late to go back to the way things were before. The last lines of the song "One thing's true, I love you" are both a plea and a reminder that even though things have changed, their love for their former partner remains.

Line by Line Meaning

I'll sleep instead in the other room
I'll stay in the adjacent room tonight and not with you

A hollow heart, a different bed
My heart feels empty and I'm sleeping in a separate bed from you

In home movies raising your hands
I watch old videos of you raising your hands

Remembering you until I can't
I keep thinking about you until my thoughts fade away

You waited for me once
You showed patience when waiting for me

Patience
Being patient is a virtue

Gone long enough to find out
I've been away long enough to realize something

I'll distract myself and let it rot
I'll keep myself busy and not deal with the issue at hand

You don't need to tell me you're back now
You don't have to inform me about your return

It's not the same, I know it's not
Things have changed, and I'm aware of it

One thing's true
There's one thing that's certain
