The Tempest Lyrics
Acting like it wouldn't happen
Making sense of anything that you could find
You must've known the storm was coming
When the clouds appeared
And join the circus of people
While you're there
And I'm trying to find out what it is
When I fix her, she's breaking, reason keeps escaping
We're protecting and burning like a cyst
And the feeling is stronger by the day
Say that I'm selfish but I know you need this
And I'm just so sick of the chase
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
You caused the shit to happen and now you want out
Too late you dropped the drawbridge, you let the vampires in
I hope you know now that it's nobody's fault but yours
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
correct lyrics:
saw you the other day, looking so undermined. acting like it wouldn't happen, making sense of anything that you could find. ...because its just about to happen, and you'll be there. you must have known the storm was coming when the clouds appeared. may as well let the rain come down and join the circus of people, while you're there. something is changing, bruising and aching and i'm trying to find out what it is. when i fix her, she's breaking, reason keeps escaping me, protecting and burning like a cyst. i know that i can help you, i just don't fucking want to and the feeling gets stronger by the day. you say that i'm selfish, but i know you need this and i'm just so sick of the chase. while you are letting your guard down, i will be letting myself go. while you keep running your ship aground, i will be setting myself alight. its too late, you've dropped the drawbridge, you let the vampires in, you caused this shit to happen and now you want out. its too late, you've dropped the drawbridge, you let the vampires in, i hope you know now that its nobody's fault but yours. while you are letting your guard down, i will be letting myself go. while you keep running your ship aground, i will be setting myself alight.

Definitely about the impending doom of a loved one, and [The narrator] so sick of they're actions that they just don't care what happens to them.
A very awesome song too. has a MUCH different feel then normal songs Pendulum has done. The beginning gives me a big "Tool" / "A Perfect Circle" vibe.
Kitsune Tokkan i think nailed it. I reckon that he has spent a very long time with someone who has just been treating him like shit and he wants out. 'i'm just so sick of the chase, while you are letting your guard down, i will be letting myself go'. Proper big tune, a nice change for Pendulum.
I also agree with Kitsune Tokkan. I think the most obvious part is where he says "I know that I can help you, I just don't fucking want to" it really shows how much hes given up.

I've been looking for these lyrics for the past week! Awesome job on the lyrics~
Correction on the lyrics:
"Say that I'm selfish but I know you need this And I'm just so sick of the chase"
Great song, Pendulum writes deep and awesome songs.
For some reason, i believe there is raw emotion here. Kind of makes me a little teary.
They're trying to tell you that when the storm came in and the clouds are showing meaning the militating is controlling the weather and you let them become stronger to control the population into an never ending business to help build their kingdoms and dream machines to be used against you. You let the vampires in to create culture from genocide
