Impatience
We Are Scientists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's this all about?
All I know is I don't need this tone you're taking
Forget what I said
For every promise kept
There's a thousand I don't even know I'm making
Oh, it's time that you stop being so impatient
Your philosophy
Is totally lost on me
Well, I promise I don't mean to have you waiting
And that attitude
Won't do any good
When the problem's only as real as you've made it
So it's time that you stop being so impatient
Oh, it's time that you stop being so impatient
Why not try to take it down?
You're gonna have to wait this out
Or tell me now where the fuckin' fire is
Your philosophy
Is totally lost on me
Well, I promise I don't mean to have you waiting
And that attitude
Won't do any good
When the problem's only as real as you've made it
So it's time that you stop being so impatient
Oh, it's time that you stop being so impatient
You're so impatient, you're so impatient, you're so impatient
The song "Impatience" by We Are Scientists is about two people in a disagreement where one person feels like the other is being too impatient. The first verse expresses the frustration of the singer towards the impatience shown by the other person. The singer doesn't know what is going on and doesn't like the "tone" the other person is taking with him or her. However, the singer acknowledges that he or she has made promises that he or she doesn't even know about, indicating a sense of guilt.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's call for the other person to stop being so impatient. The singer sees this impatience as a problem and wants the other person to calm down and take a step back in order to resolve the issue more effectively. The second verse repeats the frustration and highlights the uselessness of being impatient when the problem is only as real as the other person has made it.
Overall, the song is a call for communication and understanding amidst conflict, instead of impatience and frustration.
