Pendulum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I′m falling down
Will you pick me up again?
When I'm too far gone
Dead in the eyes of my friends

Will you take me out of here?
When I′m staring down the barrel
When I'm blinded by the lights
When I cannot see your face

Take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out of here

All I believe
And all I've known
Are being taken from me

Can′t get home
Yeah, do your worst
When worlds collide
Let their fear collapse

Bring no surprise

Take me out of here

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me
Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Just stay where you are

Let your fear subside
Just stay where you are
If there′s nothing to hide

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me
Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me
Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me
Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me




Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Pendulum's song Watercolour are about finding comfort and support in someone during difficult times. The singer is asking for help from a friend or loved one because they feel lost and alone. The opening lines of "When I’m falling down, will you pick me up again? When I’m too far gone, dead in the eyes of my friends" portrays the despair felt by the singer. The lines suggest the singer has hit rock-bottom emotionally and physically and is no longer recognizable to their close circle of friends.


Throughout the song, the singer begs to be rescued from the situation they are in. The plea to “take me out of here” reinforces the sense of disorientation and desperation. They admit that “All I believe and all I've known are being taken from me” - it’s an unsettling feeling of losing control of the situation. The chorus repeats the line “feed the fire, break your vision” and “throw your fists up, come on with me” - this may be a call to action for their friends to support them and fight against whatever obstacles are in their way.


Overall, the song is an emotional cry for help from someone experiencing a painful situation. The lyrics show vulnerability, fear and confusion. However, the song's music and fast tempo is uplifting and empowering, which makes the song an anthem for people seeking hope and support.

When I'm falling down
Will you pick me up again?
When I'm too far gone
Dead in the eyes of my friends
Will you take me out of here when I'm staring down the barrel
When I'm blinded by the lights, when I cannot see your face?

Take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out of here
Take me out of here

All I believe, and all I've known
Are being taken from me, can't get home

Yeah, do your worst, when worlds collide
Let their fear collapse, bring no surprise

Take me out of here

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Just stay where you are, let your fear subside
Just stay where you are, if there's nothing to hide

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me

Feed the fire, break your vision
Throw your fists up, come on with me
