An offshoot of the Denmark-based Boom Clap Bachelors massive collective, Quadron is an avant R&B (with an occasional nudge toward folk-soul) duo of multi-instrumentalist/producer Robin Braun (aka Robin Hannibal, also one-half of the duo Owusu & Hannibal) and vocalist Coco O. In 2009, Quadron began issuing their collaborations, led by the off-center mid-'60s soul throwback "Slippin," which was used in the film Se Min Kjole. A little later in the year, outside their homeland, BBC DJ Gilles Peterson was floored enough by the sparse, abstract "Day" to slot the song into the year-end All Winners special of his Worldwide program. Los Angeles' Plug Research label picked up their self-titled album for wide circulation and issued it in March 2010. Braun and Coco were subsequently sought out by numerous artists -- including Leon Ware, the Internet, and Tyler, The Creator -- for collaborations. Their cover of Michael Jackson's "Baby Be Mine" was included on the soundtrack to the 2012 film Think Like a Man. In 2013, Braun made an album with Mike Milosh as Rhye, while Coco was featured on the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. That June, they released their second album, Avalanche, on Sylvia Rhone's Epic-associated Vested in Culture label. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
Unpatience
Quadron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could have fooled you
I just love the attention
You said I was building a scene
Rewritting the scheme
Well I'm just casting solutions
Of the makings of me
Unpatience
Waiting to find my theme
For these scenes
Unpatience
Waiting to find my theme
For these random scenes
Its a script conspired for comfort
Directed by the spectators
My personal lullabye
You know it's just one act out of three
In Quadron's song Unpatience, the lyrics delve into the idea of impostor syndrome and the struggle to find one's own identity. The opening lyrics, "I said I was moving mountains, could have fooled you, I just love the attention," suggest that the singer has exaggerated their own abilities to impress those around them. The next line, "You said I was building a scene, rewriting the scheme, well I'm just casting solutions," could be interpreted as an accusation from someone who sees through the facade and recognizes the singer's lack of authenticity. However, the singer seems to be aware of this and explains that it's just one aspect of their complex identity, stating "you know it's just one act out of three, of the makings of me." This line suggests a sense of uncertainty and a search for self-understanding.
The chorus, "Unpatience, waiting to find my theme, for these scenes, unpatience, waiting to find my theme, for these random scenes," further emphasizes the theme of searching for one's true identity. The use of the word "unpatience" instead of "impatience" adds a level of complexity to the lyrics, suggesting that the singer is not just impatient, but is actively trying to resist or overcome their impatience.
The final verse, "It's a script conspired for comfort, directed by the spectators, my personal lullaby," reveals that the singer feels trapped by societal expectations and the pressure to conform. The use of the phrase "personal lullaby" suggests that perhaps the singer is finding comfort in their own patterns of behavior, even if those behaviors are not true to themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of Unpatience offer a contemplative and introspective look at the struggle to find one's own identity in a world that often pressures us to conform.
