In 2005 they released their debut album, Hold Your Colour. Critically, the album was well-received in both the United Kingdom and Australia. In addition, it was one of the biggest selling Drum and Bass releases of all time. Pendulum have also collaborated with Freestylers, releasing the single "Fasten Your Seatbelt". MC $pyda and DJ Tenor Fly also feature as vocalists on "Tarantula".
Pendulum's sound is typically heavy beats accompanied by low, buzzing bass lines, overlaid with synthesized leads. 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.
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.
In 2011, members Swire and McGrillen started their side project, Knife Party, as a way to create different kinds of electronic music. It has since become their primary focus, however they have not ruled out the possibility of new Pendulum material in the future.

Spiral
Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one can save you now
We slide away
No one can bring you around
We spiral down
No one can save you now
We slide away
We spiral down...
The lyrics to Pendulum's song "Spiral" are full of darkness and despair as they describe a situation where someone is spiraling down into a destructive pattern. The repetition of the lines "We spiral down" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in a downward spiral with no hope of stopping. The lines "No one can save you now" and "No one can bring you around" suggest a sense of isolation as if the person is facing their demons alone.
The lines "We slide away" further emphasize this feeling of loss and hopelessness. The use of the pronoun "we" suggests that the situation is shared, implying that the singer might be going through the same thing as the person they are referring to. The tone of the song is somber and reflective, with a sense of finality and a feeling that the person has already given up.
Overall, the lyrics to "Spiral" paint a bleak picture of someone struggling with a personal crisis, and who feels hopeless and isolated as they continue to spiral down into darkness.
Line by Line Meaning
We spiral down
We are descending in a circular motion, going further and further down into a negative state.
No one can save you now
There is no one who can rescue you from this negative state. You are on your own.
We slide away
We are gradually moving away from what is good or desirable and towards something unpleasant or undesirable.
No one can bring you around
No one can convince you to change your ways and return to a positive state. You must make that decision for yourself.

@JuanC-arg
A song can preserve part of you and release it when you hear it after a very long time. Music works like a time capsule.
