You can hide your eyes, you can dim the lights, but they are watching.
This is a new time, with a different kind, they are the future.
The only one!
This is the final call for the setting song, as they get closer.
And with full blown grace, thy will be done, the show is over.
It's a new dawn!
Just leave this place behind,
I'll grill your place, Don’t mind.
And you’re the only one, ‘cos you’re up on defense.
This is a new way!
We are standing by, no time to hide, no meeting half way.
You were sucking life through the needles eye, this is a new day.
They have won!
We would have reckon now, what we have done, left in the open.
The cool we know will rise under, they are the future.
Future!
When all your fears combined, the manifest was refined.
And I know you really tried to understand.
This is a new age!

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
after listening to the .flac version here's what I've got, I think it's better than the above interpretation.

It's a final call for the setting sun, when they get closer. And with a fall from grace, thy will be done, the show is over. It's a new dawn.
Just leave this place behind. I will clear your bloodshot mind. They only wanted your love on demand. This is a better way!

One of my favorite songs, so I listened extensively.
This song... ROCKS. Haha, get it :P This is what studying Geology does to you...
Anyway, awesome track! I'm really enjoying their new album :)
WW: What about the references in “Granite” to a “new way” and a “new dawn”? What was your focus there?
RS: This was around the time of Hurricane Katrina happened. There was all this shit in the world that was changing on such a massive scale, and it was the first time I’d ever seen an entire city flooded out. It was a sense of being invaded by something. It got into our head, that feeling.

Didn't think it could be said but it's rockin' techno. :) It's a new way!
I think the music video pretty much explains it: it's about an alien apocalypse! Except I don't see why it's called "Granite..."
Because the aliens live underground in the rock layers\caverns!

This sounds like a mix of Slam and Blood sugar
yes, yes it does.
the video makes it clearer what its about its about aliens also explains the album art from in silico great song
this songs pretty obvious really, life as we know it has changed and all that shit, aliens are here and what not. to be honest it's the music that counts and this tune really delivers.
Nice call Arsekicker, much better lyrics than the ones on top. "...I'll grill your place, don't mind..."? Come on, I'm sure Pendulum can come up with lyrics better than that.
