The Island
The xx vs. Pendulum Lyrics

You arrive in the rising sun
You came into this world with potential and brightness that can bring hope and happiness to those around you.

The hidden passenger that I've been takin'
You are the unknown part of myself that I have been unconsciously carrying with me throughout my life.

Close your eyes, let's forget again
Let us escape from reality and live in our own world, free from the struggles we face in our everyday lives.

As you drag me down, I will take you in
Despite the challenges and obstacles we may face together, I will support and care for you unconditionally.

What are you waiting for?
Why hesitate when life is short and opportunities are fleeting?

Just surrender here tonight
Let go of your inhibitions and worries and live in the present moment with me.

As we go towards the light
Together, we will move forward towards a brighter future free from the darkness of our pasts.

When everything is said and done
After all is said and done, what really matters is the connections we make with others.

To looking for answers, if only one
Despite the uncertainty of life, we must all search for meaning and purpose, even if it's only for ourselves.

Turn my back, the edge has gone
I have left my past behind and am ready to move forward in a new direction, leaving behind the negative parts of my past.

Left with no reason, we come undone
Without a clear sense of direction or purpose, we can become lost and disconnected from ourselves and each other.

I'm caught in your slow release
I am captivated by your gradual and alluring hold on me, making it difficult to break free from your grasp.

Seems like your traveler is eager to move me
It feels as though you are guiding me towards a new destination, encouraging me to explore and grow as a person.

My reflection will slowly fade
As I move forward and evolve over time, my past self will slowly fade into the background, allowing me to embrace the person I am becoming.

To another time, into my head escapes
Memories and thoughts of the past can transport us to another time and place, allowing us to reflect on who we once were and how far we've come.

(Oh oh oh oh)
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of surrendering to the present moment and moving forward towards a brighter future with those we care about.
