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.
The band's third album "Immersion" was released on 24th May 2010, entering the UK album charts at #1 at the end of that week.

The lyrics of Pendulum's song "Set Me On Fire" express a desire to escape and move on from a situation, leaving someone behind. The opening lines "So take me up, we're going on, going on" indicate a readiness to leave and move forward without looking back. The repetition of these lines throughout the song reinforces this idea.
The verses describe meeting someone while crossing a border, who is described as "rank and thirsty and blind" and "out of order". This person is not someone who can be relied upon or trusted, and the repetition of the line "tell 'im again 'gain 'gain 'gain" suggests that this person has been warned or confronted multiple times.
The chorus "We're going on without you" reinforces the idea of leaving someone behind and moving on. The repetition of the "Yayayaya" part of the chorus creates a sense of urgency and excitement, further emphasizing the desire to move forward.
Overall, "Set Me On Fire" is a powerful and energetic song about leaving behind negative situations and people, and embracing the future with determination and enthusiasm.
