I do that with In Silico as well. Sometimes I think I'm positive I hear Rob say something else than I've read on the random lyrics on the Web.

I looked up the Matter versions again on YouTube and it's quite funny to hear different lyrics to the songs!

Set Me On Fire - LYRICS!!!
Hey guys, i'm Jamaican and i was surprised to hear Jamaican lyrics in a pendulum song... I first heard Pendulum in a video game, i think it was one
from the Need For Speed series, and loved the vibe it gave while racing, so i started listening more and more until i heard my GF playing Watercolour
from the UK top 40 singles list in her car.. so i ended up listening to the whole Pendulum album...
I got to this forum when i was trying to find more information on the song "Set Me On Fire" because i wanted to know which Jamaican artist they
sampled.
I see you guys cant understand what the artist is saying, so lemme help u guys out a bit 
Jamaican Lyrics by Cocoa Tea - Set Me On Fire:
Well a nuff sound bwoy waa cross fi we borda, cross we borda,
renk and faysty and brite, dem must be out of orda out of orda cause...
Well a nuff sound bwoy waa cross fi we borda, cross we borda,
renk and faysty and brite, dem must be out of orda, killing my (some word looped here)...
I guess you still wouldn't have a clue what he is saying even from that lol. From what i could hear... he is saying a lot of guys (in the music
industry especially DJs from sound systems which are very popular in Jamaica) wants to or is trying to disrespect him.
However, when the term 'sound bwoy' is used.. it is in the context of a 'clash' (competition) between Sound Systems where they use Dub Plates
(Special Versions of songs that are specially recorded for individual sound systems by Artists).
What this means is more than likely the artist is singing on behalf of a Sound System against other Sound Systems. Hence it would be more like he is
saying, Another sound system is trying to disrespect the Sound System he is representing and that the other sound system are 'Out of Orda' - meaning
they have no manners, or is passing their place, or lacking respect.
The lyrics are in our native language Patois. Some of the words are translated below:
nuff = alot
renk, faysty & brite = disrespectful, argumentative, disorderly
sound bwoy = Sound system DJ
waa = want(s) to
fi we = our
borda = border (cross fi we borda - crossing the line (border) - To Disrespect
out of orda = out of order
Here is a youtube link to a clearer version of Cocoa Tea's Lyrics:
