Pendulum
Mary Gospe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swinging slowly but steady, pendulum
By now I should be ready
For the pandemonium
Now that the pendulum has begun
It feeds on emotion, pendulum
One moment elation, pendulum
From a story that’s been spun
This illusion of fear serves no one
So can we just be still for a while?
Float on calm waters?
Can we just relax for a while?
Give in to trust? Surrender to love?
Give in to trust? Surrender to love?
Ahhhh
You say you are fine, pendulum
But I can read between the lines, pendulum
So scared of scarcity
Worried for what may come
You know you can’t control anyone, but yourself
So can we just be still for a while? Float on calm waters?
Can we just relax for a while?
Give in to trust? Surrender to love?Give in to trust? Surrender to love?
Surrender, surrender, surrender to love Surrender to love
Surrender, surrender, surrender to love Surrender to love
Oohhh, oohhh
Help me slow it down now, pendulum
Stop the oscillation, pendulum
Let it come to rest, in quiet equilibrium
Peaceful and calm, pendulum
