What Are The Odds Lyrics – Alohaii | from “Patchwork”

Alohaii’s Patchwork stitches together emotional quilts just four days out—January 9 via his self-released imprint—and “What Are The Odds” ft. Kiyon is the thread that unravels your cozy defenses, leaving you exposed under a sax-solo sunset.

This second track pulses with Alohaii’s indie-pop wizardry: dreamy synths and lo-fi beats cradling Kiyon’s ethereal vocals, all laced with that unexpected saxophone cry that hits like a confession in the dark. It’s alt-pop with a cozy chillwave edge, blending bedroom introspection and subtle dance grooves into something that feels like hiding under covers while the world knocks.

Thematically, it’s a fortress fantasy crumbling—building walls from pillows and comforters to dodge the hurt, only for self-sabotage to swing the wrecking ball. Lines like “What are the odds? / My hands would be the ones to tear this down” capture that cruel math of vulnerability, where honesty feels like cliff-diving and love’s a knitted tide drowning the brave. Alohaii helmed production solo, drawing from his love of narrative arcs, turning personal what-ifs into a sonic hug that aches just right. Kiyon’s feature adds that haunting harmony, teased in a late-’25 clip on Alohaii’s TikTok that had fans murmuring about “therapy in melody.”

Patchwork, his fourth full-length, weaves deeper into the Nalu saga kicked off with Virtual Paradise—a wandering protagonist patching her heart through digital dreams and real-world rifts. It’s 12 tracks of collaborative heartstring-tugs, clocking around 45 minutes of lush, feature-packed pop: Miori Celesta on opener “Safe Room” and closer “Life’s Too Short,” Rachie gutting “Never Knew Love Could Hurt So Bad,” vally.exe sparkling “Luxury” (already a streaming sleeper hit), Shiki Miyoshino doubling up on “Better Luck Next Time” and “Pearl,” plus nods from Wisteria Iroha, Lime (IDN), Vie (004), and Kirispica. Recorded in bursts across 2025, it swaps SUMMERTIDE’s sunny escapism for patchwork vulnerability—sana on acoustic guitar grounding the gloss, Dotori’s artwork evoking frayed fabrics. No grand manifesto, just Alohaii inviting you to mend alongside Nalu, one stitched scar at a time.

He’s blooming into this at 25-ish (the mystery lingers), the bedroom producer who flipped SoundCloud uploads into a cult following now headlining micro-fests from Tokyo to Toronto. Post-Virtual Paradise’s quiet storm, Patchwork’s his boldest thread-pull yet—trading solo sketches for a vocal posse that mirrors Nalu’s growing crew, proving he’s not just scoring vibes, he’s scripting souls.
