“Get Your Wish” is the lead single from Porter Robinson’s second studio album Nurture. It marks Robinson’s first original song release as a solo artist since his 2014 debut Worlds and his 2016 Madeon collaboration “Shelter.”
The song is about finding a reason to move forward, even if it’s not for y...
[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

In a tweet published the day of the song’s release, Robinson said:
In a tweet, Robinson explained that it’s him singing on the track:
also: I’m singing through effects that artificially make my voice much much higher. At first, I did it because it made it easier to talk about painful subjects directly, and then slowly I grew really attached to the sound of that vo...
When I started writing this album, 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 alb...
