| It has been changed by another editor to the "Ship". Where well has been changed to we will. I changed it to, "this is done" because I agree its obvious. | |

| It's been edited twice, by myself and another. I think there are a few missing words like "from, to" etc. I'm not sure if it's a "shift" or a "ship" coming down. My version used the word shift. But it's not clear so I'm leaving it the way it is until a 3rd editor comes along. | |

Reading all the comments and comparing it to my own interpretation, it seems clear to me. I also listened to this several times with headphones on and you can hear a lot more of the subtle sounds and pronunciations. This song is about a battle over the authors soul against a constant demonic attack, (literal or figuratively). The demonic source could be a metaphor for drugs, or a sinful lifestyle, but it is worded as if these things took on a demonic form of their own, or are actual literal demons. The song is written from the words of a "we" entity, which demons are known to attack as a legion. They are enticing him to, "be dragged to where he belongs" on the darker side. They try to comfort him by telling him, "theres nothing to fear". It could possibly be the other voice fighting to keep him from the other side, saying, "when you tried to escape, we'll be holding on". But the second male/female verse confirms that this is indeed another manifestation of the demonic voices. In fact they are the pain in his life that he is trying to escape, (through extacy and/or clubbing) but they hold on, always dragging him back in the form of renewed memory of his pain or through the emotional crash after an Ex, high. The second verse, "we are in your spirit, we're everywhere you turn, from the cover to cover. In lover, to your brother, to your mother, in the others." alludes to the hopelessness of trying to escape his personal demons. Voices and reminders are everywhere, and inescapable. They say, "you were so precious, a diamond in the rough. But now you've gone away. I'm falling apart under the waves." is the voices claiming victory over his soul. They have taken his precious heart and dragged it into hell. The shift is coming down from happiness to the hell of his his past/current life/destiny. The tortures in his heart force him to get the words onto paper and write this dark song. "And I can't sleep until this is done." Sadness and dispair have spurned him into getting his thoughts out, to write this song, for the good of mankind or to the ill. For the victory of his demons or for their defeat. These are very angst driven songs. Theories that this is about big music business come from the lyrical interpretation, "But I can't sleep from the Big System". But if you have experienced the pain of a tortured soul, or the slough of an Ex crash, and if you listen carefully to the enunciation in the lyrics, the meaning is clear. Other songs by Pendulum are about being plagued by ones past. Either of longing for a lost love or guilt of a wrong decision in life. They illustrate the tortured soul like few others and I identify with the spiritually dark tone of their music. |

You're missing a point of the song, though you're mostly right. Yes the song is evil, but the author is acknowledging that evil, quoting the demonic whisperings in lyrical form to expose it for what it is. Deep down he wants to be good, but is trapped by the lifestyle (drugs) his family, girlfriend, and "others". It's a dark, battle. |

| I heard "Where we'll" as well until I saw this version and realized I was wrong. It's "we will" | |
| Pendulum – Crush Lyrics | 13 years ago |

I Believe this song is about the authors breakup, and the pain of looking back at his past. Like monsters haunting his mind, CRUSHing him and influencing his decisions, changing his future. They are the abusers, battering his mind, waking up from a dream where he sees the tempting muses that he created, hurting the one he loves. Or something to that effect. "Creatures I've been dreaming" makes sense and follows the theme of the Author, but it sounded more like "Bridges" to me. It could be either. "I was whining like a child" might also be, "But I'm running like a child". I'd choose whichever suits you more, do you mourn, or evade your past? Choose the one that best fits you. |

Based on all the comments and a careful listening to the amount of syllables in each verse and chorus I have determined this to be the most accurate transposition. My copy just happens to have Guitar Chords too. Pendulum: Crush Verse 1: Em I was running out in the cold light Em Wondering where to go C D Em D To run away without you Em All my fear is coming home Em And it's ripped out from the soul C D You can be me Em D Em I will become you tonight Verse 2: Em I was wandering under black skies Em Clutching at what is mine C D Em D No control is left to lose Em Well, I thought that it wouldn't phase me Em But I'm whining like a child C D I feel so guilty Em D Em I'll make it up to you tonight Chorus: C D Em Bridges I've been dreaming are coming down C D Em They're changing my future C D Em Visions I had buried underground C D Em Return as Abusers Verse 3: Em I was breaking out of my own skin Em Choking upon release C D Em D I'm in no state to judge you Em Scratching itches best left alone Em Chasing memories I used to own C D Em D Em I can't wait till this is over tonight Chorus: C D Em The Bridges I've been dreaming are coming down C D Em They're changing my future C D Em Visions I had buried underground C D Em Return as abusers Bridge: C D Em The nightmares I've been having have arrived C D Em They're changing my future C D Em The sirens of my creation at my door C D Em How could you do this to her? Chorus: C D Em The Bridges I've been dreaming are coming down C D Em They're changing my future C D Em Visions I had buried underground C D Em Return as Abusers |

Russian: Fevrale dostat chernil i plakat Pisat O Fevrale navsnryd Poka grohochushaya slyakot Vesnoyu charnoyu gorit The Russian is from a poem by Boris Pasternak - the same dude who wrote Doctor Zhivago. It's in Old Russian so hard to translate but the best translation I could find was: English: February. Take out ink and cry! To write about February in sobs and ink, While the thundering sleet Burns in the blackness of spring.

Yes Hazerus, I agree with you. Pendulum is highly spiritual and dark in their lyrics and any interpretation about a Fall from Grace would be consistant with their style. Sometimes they speak from the perspect of the forces of darkness. Perhasps "we" is evil spirits. |
