Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pendulum And Fresh Feat Spyda And Tenor Fly's song Fasten Your Seatbelt can be interpreted in a few different ways. The first line addresses a "soundboy," which in Jamaican music culture refers to a young, inexperienced DJ. The lyrics are cautioning this young DJ that they are not yet ready to play such a powerful, high-energy sound. This could also be interpreted as a warning to anyone going to listen to the song that it's going to be intense, so prepare yourself.


The lyrics then transition to a call for the audience to "fasten your seatbelts," implying that the song is about to take off and get wild. The combination style mentioned also references the combination of different styles of electronic music that the song blends together. Overall, the lyrics seem to be a warning to listeners that this song is going to be intense, unpredictable, and high-energy. It's an invitation to buckle up and get ready for a wild ride.

Song from 2006, still better than most drum and bass and dubstep sub-cultures.

@MrPerson3572

True

@stevemed880

That means nothing when there are still better dub songs and dnb songs today. The truth is majority of music is trash so you can pick any well made song and say "still better than most songs out today" during any time period

@lv6892

This ain't dnb though.

@arminfreudenthaler2292

@Lucaciu Valentin THIS IS DNB. Pendulum still has a major impact in the present scene. They were worlds infront of anybody else

@lv6892

@Armin Freudenthaler The track is definetly not drum and bass, it's big beat. Pendulum does make mostly dnb, yes...but if you can't tell the genre of this song you need to listen to more drum and bass man.

Combination style ! One of my favorite Nu-Break track ! Mash up the place !

@pablosarabiabravo6693

for me this song is the best song of Pendulum, along with The Tempest, no doubt.

@Cruciatum

Hell yeah! The album is mental!
