Pendulum Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't know what's high 'til you been down so low
The future's bright, lit up with nowhere to go

[Chorus]
To and fro the pendulum throws

[Refrain 1]
We are here and then we go
My shadow left me long ago

[Verse 2]
Understand what we don't know
This might pass, this might last, this may grow

[Refrain 2]
Easy come and easy go
Easy left me a long time ago

[Refrain 3]
I'm in the fire, but I'm still cold
Nothing works, works for me anymore

[Interlude]
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
(To and fro the pendulum throws)
To and fro the pendulum throws


[Outro]
(To and fro, to and fro)
To and fro, to and fro

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

A leftover from the Backspacer sessions, “Pendulum” honors its name by featuring some gratuitous sound panning – at times Eddie’s vocals are in only one channel, with muted percussion in the other.
