The Island

About The Island

"The Island" is the third single from Australian drum and bass band Pendulum to be released from their third studio album, Immersion. It was released on 19 September 2010. "The Island" is a song split into two parts; "Dawn" and "Dusk", with "Dawn" receiving the majority of radio airplay. In a recent interview, Rob Swire stated that the premise of lyrics has to do with "two young lovers" and how they overcome adversity. The single includes remixes by DJ and record producer Tiësto, and by drum and bass DJ and record producer Lenzman. A Steve Angello, AN21 and Max Vangeli remix of the song was released as a digital single on 24 November 2010. To promote the single, Pendulum also held a remix competition, releasing a free pack of remix stems taken from the "Dawn" part which was won by Madeon at the age of 16. The "Dusk" part uses a sample from Missy Elliott's "I'm Really Hot". In 2018, American DJ and record producer Skrillex released a remix of this song. Devin Townsend used the song as a structural basis for his song "Save Our Now" from his fifteenth studio album Epicloud. more »

You arrive
In the rising sun
The hidden passenger
That I've been taking

Close your eyes
Let's forget again
As you drag me down
I will take you in

What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
As we go towards the light

When everything is said and done
Still looking for answers, if only one
Turn my back, the urge has gone
Left with no reason, we come undone

I am caught
In your slow release
Seems like your traveler's
Eager to move me

My reflection
Will slowly fade
To another time
Until my head escapes

What are you waiting for?
Just surrender here tonight
What are you waiting for?
As we go towards the light

When everything is said and done
Still looking for answers, if only one
Turn my back, the urge has gone
Left with no reason, we come undone
