About This Track

'Encoder' by Pendulum is an alternative track from the album 'Immersion', released in 2010. The lyrics sketch a stalled, self-defeating relationship dynamic, with one voice unable to face up to the other, thoughts getting in the way, and a decision to “dim the lights”. As the lines turn, there is an insistence on loyalty and an attempt to redraw sides, even as the speaker admits the two of them have drifted far enough to get divided.

"Encoder" is a track by Pendulum, from the album Immersion, released 20th May 2010. The track is 5:23 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Pendulum.

Lyrics

Encoder

You couldn't even show yourself out
You were so held up by your thoughts
Along the way we got divided
And I'm left showing you the door
You couldn't look me in the eyes
So I'll dim the lights
When you take me out on your side
We're standing out of sight
Believe me
I'm on your side
It took so long for me to speak up
It was the hardest thing to say
Taken right up to the entrance
At the last minute turned away
Just can't look you in the eyes
So let's dim the lights
Get a case out
Pack up your pride
It's over, we're out of time
Delete me
I'm on your side
For everything that could have been
At least we took the ride
There's no relief in bitterness
Might as well let it die
