Can't know what's high till you've been down so low
The future's bright, lit up with no where to go, to and fro the pendulum throws
We are here and then we go
my shadow left me long ago
Understand what we dont know
this might pass
this might last
this may go
easy come and easy go
easy left me a long time ago
I'm in the fire but I'm still cold
nothing works works for me anymore
ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhh
to and fro the pendulum throws
The future's bright, lit up with no where to go, to and fro the pendulum throws
my shadow left me long ago
this might pass
this might last
this may go
easy come and easy go
easy left me a long time ago
nothing works works for me anymore
to and fro the pendulum throws

It's a song about not knowing what to do, and the depression that can come with it
The song title and lyric "To and fro the pendulum throws" both imply time ticking away, ala an antique clock with a pendulum
"Understand what we don't know This might pass This might last This may grow Easy come and easy go Easy left me a long time ago"
A state of apathy is described here, his depression "may pass, last or grow." Everything is too hard "easy left me a long time ago", except doing nothing "easy come easy go"
I agree! But I think to and fro the pendulum throws isn't about time ticking, but about he use of a pendulum itself. Like he's watching swing right in front of him waiting for it to tell him what to do

This might be one of the best songs they have ever written. Pretty self explanitory... it's about life and death.
To and fro, the pendulum throws...
The lyrics are wrong.
Should read;
Can't know what's high Till you've been down so low.
