Get your Wish

“Get Your Wish” is the lead single from Porter Robinson’s upcoming second studio album Nurture. It marks Robinson’s first original song release under his own name since his 2014 debut Worlds and his 2016 collaboration with Madeon, “Shelter.” He released the eponymous EP Virtual Self in 2017. The song is about finding a reason to move forward, even if it’s not for your own sake, and Porter’s breakthrough after several years of failing to write music and being crushed.

[Verse 1] I'll make it right again "But it's no use," you said As my hunger grows and grows I have to write the meaning of my life Or else everything's in vain [Pre-Chorus] When the glory tries to tempt you It may seem like what you need But if glory makes you happy Why are you so broken up? [Chorus] So tell me how it felt When you walked on water Did you get your wish? Floating to the surface Quicker than you sank Idol, idol So tell me how it felt When you walked on water Did you get your wish? Floating to the surface Quicker than you sank Idol, idol [Verse 2] Don't say you lose just yet Get up and move ahead And not only for yourself 'Cause that's your role The work that stirred your soul You can make for someone else [Pre-Chorus] One day you choke, your urges overflow And obsession wears you down But don't you waste the suffering you've faced It will serve you in due time [Chorus] So tell me how it felt When you walked on water Did you get your wish? Floating to the surface Quicker than you sank Idol, idol So tell me how it felt When you walked on water Did you get your wish? Floating to the surface Quicker than you sank Idol, idol [Outro] So tell me
