Patched Up

I feel like this track (especially when paired with the music video) has more to it than just being some regular 2018 bedroom pop tune, if it’s my brain or Bea’s actual intention, idk! Obviously the focus of the lyrics is the struggles with insomnia, and the plea for a special someone, but I also feel as though she’s also conveying the mundaneness of life and coping mechanisms, gaining freedom thru music. There’s a tight character limit, I’ll just condense. The music videos striking colours (the reds and the blues) symbolises her internal struggle - the reds of her hair reflecting her true emotion, and the blue (the window, and the outfit she performs in during the chorus) being the life she lives, and a facade she fronts. The hair covering the faces of her band representing alienation from others and identity. The transition in the choruses from her bed, to the blank whites (a blank slate), to finally the glaring red lights representing her starting to get to grips with her life. idk
