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".

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.

The Island Pt 1
Pendulum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The hidden passenger that I've been takin'
Close your eyes, let's forget again
As you drag me down, I will take you in
What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
When everything is said and done
To looking for answers, if only one
Turn my back, the edge has gone
Left with no reason, we come undone
I'm caught in your slow release
Seems like your traveler is eager to move me
My reflection will slowly fade
To another time, into my head escapes
What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
As we go towards the light
When everything is said and done
To looking for answers, if only one
Turn my back, the edge has gone
Left with no reason, we come undone
(Oh oh oh oh)
The song "The Island Pt. 1" by Pendulum is a song that speaks about surrendering oneself to something, a call to give in and forget all other things, following another's lead towards the light. The first verse describes a person, the 'hidden passenger' who arrives in the rising sun. As they drag the singer down, the singer takes them in. The chorus repeats the same questions asking, "What are you waiting for? Just surrender here tonight. What are you waiting for? As we go towards the light." This question may be interpreted in two ways. It could be the singer asking the other person why they are still resisting, or it could be the singer singing to themselves, telling themselves to let go and surrender.
The second verse starts with the line "when everything is said and done," which is a phrase that suggests a finality to something. The line that follows is "We're looking for answers, if only one." This line speaks to the search for something, a quest for a singular answer that would make everything right. The next lines are "Turn my back, the edge has gone, left with no reason..." which describes a certain confusion or disorientation about a situation. The singer is trying to make sense of what has happened, but they are left with nothing.
In conclusion, the song is a call to surrender, to give in to something and to follow someone else's lead. The lyrics suggest confusion and disorientation, but also a yearning for answers that may not come. The repeated questions in the chorus may be interpreted in multiple ways, making the song open to different interpretations depending on the listener.
Line by Line Meaning
You arrive in the rising sun
You join me in this new chapter that has just begun
The hidden passenger that I've been takin'
The part of you that you've kept concealed, I am now taking on
Close your eyes, let's forget again
Let's escape reality and endeavor to forget our sorrows
As you drag me down, I will take you in
As you face your struggles, I'll be here to offer you comfort and support
What are you waiting for?
Why hesitate when the opportunity is present
Just surrender here tonight
Let go of your fears and be present with me in this moment
As we go towards the light
As we move forward towards a brighter future
To looking for answers, if only one
In our search for answers, we may only find one that truly resonates
Turn my back, the edge has gone
I've turned away from uncertainty and found comfort in what's known
Left with no reason, we come undone
Without purpose, we unravel and lose ourselves
I'm caught in your slow release
I'm stuck in your grasp, unable to break free
Seems like your traveler is eager to move me
It appears that the part of you that yearns for adventure is pushing me to move forward
My reflection will slowly fade
As time passes, my sense of self will diminish
To another time, into my head escapes
My thoughts drift to another time, as I reminisce
(Oh oh oh oh)

You arrive
In the rising sun
The hidden passenger
That I've been taking
Close your eyes
Let's forget again
As you drag me down
I will take you in
What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
As we go towards the light
When everything is said and done
To looking for answers if only one
Turn my back the urge has gone
Left with no reason we come undone
I am caught
In your slow release
Seems like your traveler's
Eager to move me
My reflection
Will slowly fade
To another time
Until my head escapes
What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
As we go towards the light
When everything is said and done
To looking for answers if only one
Turn my back the urge has gone
Left with no reason we come undone
