As of their second album, In Silico, further experiments with sound are evident with many more elements from rock and typical electronic music being incorporated into their music. "In Silico" is Pendulum's first album for Warner Bros. Records via the bands Ear Storm imprint.
Their track "Vault" was played by almost every DJ and was declared by annual Knowledge Drum’n’bass Awards as The Best Track of the Year. They have also created many remixes, including a remix of Voodoo People by The Prodigy.

Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am just feeling the part took out.
And even though this curse restrains me,
I got so many things to yell about.
Well I could fight this,
But I may die.
And don't wanna us be the apple in your eye.
Strap on my face.
Listen to the words that put me in my place.
I have seen a transition
And you wondered what I'm gonna do about it.
You thought that my eyes were behind my back
Though that I didn't want to but as you see,
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
I have a reality
I want ?
All I'm starving for I'm believing you
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
Throw it away!
'Cos I got the patience,
To see that you drown.
To watch you go down.
The lyrics of Pendulum's song Comprachicos seem to be about the struggle against manipulation and control, and the desire to break free from it. The first verse expresses the singer's defiance, stating that even though they feel like a part of them has been taken away, they still have a lot to say and won't be shaped by manipulation. They acknowledge that this curse of control holds them back, but they have the strength to fight it, even though it may cost them their life. The second verse describes a transition or change in the singer's life, which others may not have expected or understood. Despite this, the singer is determined to throw away the things holding them back and watch those who try to control them drown.
Overall, the lyrics are filled with frustration and anger towards those who try to control and manipulate the singer. They are determined to break free and assert their own reality, even if it means going against what others want for them. The use of repetition in the chorus, with the line "Throw it away! 'Cos I got the patience, to see that you drown. To watch you go down" further reinforces this sense of determination and defiance.
Line by Line Meaning
Manipulation doesn't shape me,
I won't let others manipulate me into being someone I'm not.
And I am just feeling the part took out.
I feel like something important has been taken from me.
And even though this curse restrains me,
Despite being held back by a curse,
I got so many things to yell about.
I have a lot to express and speak out about.
Well I could fight this,
There is an option for me to resist this situation,
But I may die.
But there may be fatal consequences.
And don't wanna us be the apple in your eye.
I don't want to be the target of your obsession or desire.
Well I could stay here,
Another option is for me to remain where I am,
Strap on my face.
And put on a mask to conform to expectations.
Listen to the words that put me in my place.
And listen to the judgment that keeps me in my current situation.
I have seen a transition
I have witnessed a change happening,
And you wondered what I'm gonna do about it.
And now you're curious about my next move.
You thought that my eyes were behind my back
You assumed I wasn't aware of what was happening behind my back,
Though that I didn't want to but as you see,
But even if I didn't want to see it, the truth is now clear.
Throw it away!
I'm discarding this negative situation!
'Cos I got the patience,
Because I have the endurance and persistence.
To see that you drown.
To watch you suffer the consequences of your actions.
To watch you go down.
And witness your downfall.
I have a reality
I have a clear understanding of the truth,
I want ?
And I want something that's missing from my life.
All I'm starving for I'm believing you
I have an unmet need that I'm placing hope in you to fulfill.
