Lyrics

1.i’ll make it right again
2.“but it’s no use,”
3.you said
4.as my hunger grows and grows
5.i have to write the meaning of my life
6.or else everything’s in vain7.
8.when the glory tries to tempt you,
9.Ii may seem like what you need
10.but if glory makes you happy, why are you so broken up?11.
12.so tell me how it felt when you walked on water?
13.did you get your wish?
14.floating to the surface
15.quicker than you sank
16.idol, idol17.

18.so tell me how it felt when you walked on water?
19.did you get your wish?
20.floating to the surface
21.quicker than you sank
22.idol, idol23.
24.don’t say you lose just yet,
25.get up and move ahead
26.and not only for yourself.
27.’cause that’s your role:
28.the work that stirred your soul,
29.you can make for someone else.30.
31.one day you choke
32.your urges overflow
33.and obsession wears you down
34.but don’t you waste the suffering you’ve faced
35.it will serve you in due time36.
37.so tell me how it felt when you walked on water?
38.did you get your wish?
39.floating to the surface
40.quicker than you sank
41.idol, idol42.
43.so tell me how it felt when you walked on water?
44.did you get your wish?
45.floating to the surface
46.quicker than you sank
47.idol, idol
48.so tell me

「Porter Robinson」Comment

When I started writing this album (Nurture), I was wrestling with some heavy questions: Why am I killing myself over this? What do I hope is going to happen that hasn’t happened yet? Why do I need to prove myself again? The answer that I came to, which you can hear in this song, was inspired by Bon Iver’s album 22, A Million. I found that album when my little brother had cancer. I really wasn’t able to make music at that time. But that album made me feel a few degrees brighter. More hopeful. And when I thought about how much that music meant to me, I realized that all that matters is making music that connects with people, that makes the world slightly less crappy. ‘Get Your Wish’ was the first time I was able to get back into the real state of play.
