«Patience» is the second single from the upcoming album.
This track is about feeling down and like the entire world is against you. And the fear that there's no way you can get through and get your life together. So it's about the frustration, the desolation, the helplessness.
However, this track is also about inner strength, an idea, a person that helps keep moving. Breath by breath, minute by minute, and day by day. It takes lots of patience, but eventually, it all passes.
«Patience» follows the style of the band's previous single, «Залишити душу» / «Leave the soul (in one's heart)». It has a mix of post-rock melodiousness, chill beats, and elaborative arrangement with indie vibes.
This track and the upcoming album didn't develop post-rock/shoegaze style as in the previous band's releases. The team sees it as natural growth and evolution, as they keep their spirit in the music.

lyrics
How do I live through it all?
I can take this no more.
I would leave, shut the door,
If it wasn't for all of the patience
That grows inside my soul
Every day and night.
Hold on,
Hold with me,
Hold me tight.
And I know I should wait,
But I don't know what for
All this despair and hate
Has to come from my core.
I'll trade them for my patience
That grows inside my soul
Every day and night.
Hold on,
Hold with me,
Hold me tight.
