Showdown
Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd thought you'd understand
That's over, hate of the last
Will be joining in the sand
But it's simple you were wrong
You must have known that we didn't not belong
But you never told me to my face
I just had to let you go
And blow this shit away
Here we go again
The lyrics of Pendulum's song "Showdown" touch on themes of betrayal and moving on from toxic relationships. The singer is expressing their frustration with someone who they believe has wronged them, but whom they also believed would understand where they were coming from. However, instead of finding empathy, the singer feels like they've been pushed aside and wrongly accused of selling their soul. The phrase "joining in the sand" suggests a finality to the situation, as if the relationship between the singer and the other person has been permanently damaged and is crumbling away.
The singer acknowledges that the situation is, in fact, quite simple - the other person was wrong to treat them the way they did, and the singer knows that they didn't belong in that toxic dynamic. This line suggests that the singer feels a sense of relief now that they have freed themselves from the negativity that was holding them back. They are finally able to see things clearly and recognize that the root of the problem was not with themselves, but with the other person.
The chorus ("Here we go again") implies that this is not the first time the singer has found themselves in this position. They've likely had experiences with other people who have let them down or betrayed them, and have had to learn how to pick themselves back up and move on. Overall, "Showdown" is about the importance of recognizing when a relationship is no longer serving you, and having the strength to walk away and start fresh.
Line by Line Meaning
It's been such a long time coming
This situation has been impending for an extended period of time, and its occurrence is not surprising or unexpected
I'd thought you'd understand
I had believed that you would be able to comprehend the situation and act accordingly
That's over, hate of the last
The hostility from the previous event is concluded and resolved
Will be joining in the sand
The animosity of the past will be buried and forgotten
But it's simple, you were wrong
The situation is uncomplicated, and you were mistaken
You must have known that we didn't not belong
You were aware that we did not fit in or belong in the same category
I know you thought I'd sold my soul
You believed that I had compromised my personal convictions or values
But you never told me to my face
You never confronted me directly and voiced your opinions
I just had to let you go
I had to end our association or relationship
And blow this shit away
I need to eradicate any negativity and start anew
Here we go again
The cycle of events or reactions has restarted

Lyrics:
Well it's been such a long time coming
I thought you'd understand
That I'm so far ahead of the lines
You'll be drawing in the sand
'Cause it's simple
You were wrong
You must have known that we end up alone
I know you thought I'd sold my soul
But you never told me to my face
I just had to leave you cold
And blow this shit away!
Here we go again
