Lyrics:

Verse:
Is it fate?
if it’s not easy, it must not be
At that age
I cherished the flowers beneath my feet
But then something must have changed in me,
I used to feel so light
Now I’ll try,
I just want time

Pre-Chorus:
Wait again,
I will be much better then
Holding on, I said:
“I will be much better, then”

Chorus:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good

Verse:
Are you close?
Shouldn’t it come to you naturally?
And everyone knows:
You’re losing your gift, and it’s plain to see
But then something must have changed in me,
I don’t fear it anymore
Now I’m sure
I’m sure

Bridge:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good

Pre-Chorus:
Wait again, I will be much better then
And suddenly, I’ve restored your faith in me

Chorus:
Look at the sky
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good, oh
Something good

Outro:
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good
Look at the sky, I’m still here
I’ll be alive next year
I can make something good
Something good

[Antiple]

I know it sounds stupid to base your hope on a song and that many people don’t get it, but I’ve been in a downward slump for nearly 2 years. I dropped out of university, have severe anxiety and depression, gave up on all my hobbies and just isolated myself. My mother pulled me out of the darkness before I could do something stupid, I’m applying to a teaching degree, got my license, and saving up for an apartment. This song is something I use as my background to hopefully reach that bright future. One where I’m alive next year, making something good, one where I will be much better in, maybe even return my mom’s faith in me. I get really anxious thinking about the future and what I need to do to succeed but this song gives me hope in a way, it’s an anthem I’m screaming in myself, that I can make something good out of this life.

My goal is to be off the antidepressants by the next two years, and with this music I’m gonna fast track it.

[Not_Ciel]

So is nobody else gonna talk about how our boy's went from using vocaloid to sing the lyrics, singing them himself but pitching them up, to finally using his regular voice in songs? I love this.

[OldTimerOfficial]

I think we can all agree: he made something good.

[TReyeHD]

"I'll be alive next year." I wasn't so sure about it last year. But here I am.

"I'll be alive next year"
- Porter after releasing Mirror

[miraie]

I listened to the unreleased version so much this high quality version hit so different 😭💙

[simongerman]

1. Got my wish
2. Felt something comforting
3. Hovered in the secret sky
4. Looked in the mirror
5. Looked at the sky
6. My soul got nurtured

[legitbread]

Porter Robinson is just that type of guy that makes music that speaks to your soul.

[Trymemadeit]

I feel so privileged to live in an era that Porter Robinson Exists.

[operatorverona]

this could be the most important album ever produced in electronic music. it has so many important lessons for artists from an an artist who fought and defeated failure. the muses didn't leave, you are not worthless, your ideas are worth time, you deserve rest, food, love and friends even tho you didn't write a masterpiece today. and most importantly, you'll be alive next year too.

[taeisyoung]

It's so pleasant to see Porter Robinson's style change over the years.

[KirasRift]

I used to be one of those "I can't do it anymore", "I'll make the night sky brighter with one more star" depressed people.. this song turned my life around, gave me a reason to hope again. It's been years, but i still remember those nights, and how Porter Robinson changed my life.

[hazelnootnut]

Jesus christ the second verse literally made me sob, this song is everything i hoped it would be

[Lumiereclips]

Listen to this song I was like almost crying and my heart was thinking:
“Finally”

[Pranav-nnlu]

I literally listened to the whole song with a huge smile on my face

[LukeTheArtist]

"I cherished the flowers beneath my feet" that line really speaks to me for some reason

[thirtyfivedegrees]

The overall visual design for Nurture with this juxtaposition of digital shapes and beautiful nature scenery is one of the coolest aesthetics I've ever seen. Porter this album is beautiful both sonically and visually, I absolutely cannot wait to hear the full thing.

[levar]

"I'll be alive next year"

And I felt that

[HecticMouse-hojm]

"I'm still here" and "I'll be alive next year" really touches my soul. Especially at the end, that's the part that always makes me shed some tears.

[zrishere]

This is greatest Porter Robinson song I have ever heard. No doubt.
