No, I don’t miss the feeling anymore
Yeah, I want something new to love
I was so nostalgic,
but I’m fine without it
You don’t really want what you think you want
No, I don’t wanna lose it
this emotion
Yeah, I just wanna do everything
I get so excited
when I finally find it
It just gets brighter from now on


Then you sigh:
“You know I love you, so I think I should tell you, Porter,
this life: isn’t it time that you grow up?”


Oh, it’s calling
I just can’t stop, I’m sorry
I can feel a new day dawning
(I burn up, burn out –
I shouldn’t do this to myself)


But sincerely,
Can’t you feel what I’m feeling?
I can see my life so clearly
(I burn up, burn out –
I shouldn’t do this to myself)


Well, this is why we do it,
for the feeling.
How do you do music?
Well, it’s easy:
You just face your fears and
you become your heroes
I don’t understand why you’re freaking out


Then they say:
“Fine, well do what you need to
But I don’t want to see you
Wasting your life
Isn’t it time you get a job?”


Oh, it’s calling
I just can’t stop, I’m sorry
I can feel a new day dawning
(I burn up, burn out –
I shouldn’t do this to myself)


But sincerely,
Can’t you feel what I’m feeling?
I can see my life so clearly
(I burn up, burn out –
I shouldn’t do this to myself)


But sincerely,
Can’t you feel what I’m feeling?
I can see my life so clearly,
and I know it doesn’t last,
but I don’t mind at all anymore


Oh, it’s calling
I just can’t stop, I’m sorry
I can feel a new day dawning
(I burn up, burn out –
I shouldn’t do this to myself)


But sincerely,
Can’t you feel what I’m feeling?
I can see my life so clearly
(I burn up, burn out –
I shouldn’t do this to myself)

「Porter Robinson」Comment

‘Musician’ is my favorite song on the album. It’s me when I’m peaking on inspiration and creativity and I feel invincible. It came from a conflict between my heart and my mind: My mind told me I needed a chopped-up instrumental, kind of like ‘Flicker’ from my previous album, and my heart said it needed to be another big sing-along. At first, I followed my head and wrote the crazy instrumental; it had like ten key changes, no vocals, no repetition. But it didn’t feel right. Then I finally wrote the chorus, this huge, anthemic, vocal moment, and knew I’d hit something. It almost feels like a Justin Bieber moment, it’s so infectious and sugary and pop. But I can’t think of anything that better captures what it feels like to be on stage. In the end, I wound up blending both versions, and the result is just boundless joy.
