about

feat. Jeff Burgess

lyrics

When I was young, I never felt sad or lonely
I just lived moment to moment
I had no duties, no responsibilities
Just a rebel without a cause

Now I'm scared of change
Cause, will I be the same?
I think I’ve become the very thing I used to detest

When I was young, I heard a song on the internet
I remember it was so strange
But in it, something spoke to me like nothing else
And an artificial voice sang a song:

“I’ll say goodbye soon
I’ll surround you
And give life to a world that’s our own”

So let’s give it all we’ve got
Cause we might not have a lot
But still I'm
I’m love in with you
I’ll stay true to you
When I feel happy, I
Doubt myself
So can I rely on you for help?

You don’t need any reason
I put on Porter Robinson
And we sing:
We depend on you
We depend on you
We’ll make it through the night
That's all right
But can I rely on you
Can I rely on you
Can I rely on

(Is anyone there?)

-

I swear, this always happens
It always finds a way
I always make mistakes when
I start to feel too safe

We did so much together
But I can’t handle this
Drink like there’s no tomorrow
Like I’m a little kid

I know that you're beautiful
But you gotta learn to take care of yourself
'Cause you are the top shelf
Yeah we play these games
It's queer
We're lucid
We're strange
And maybe deranged
You're changing your name
I'm changing my name back
You can't hop on a plane back
To the place where your face didn't pain you to look at
'Cause you gotta learn to take care of yourself
Yeah we play these games
It's queer
We're lucid
We're strange
You're changing your name
I'm changing my name back
You can't hop on a plane back
To the place where your face didn't pain you to look at
'Cause you gotta learn to take care of yourself

You gotta learn to take care of yourself
You gotta learn to take care of yourself
You gotta learn to take care of yourself
You gotta learn to take care of yourself

Yeah we play these games
It's queer
We're lucid
We're strange
Learn to take care of yourself
Changing my name back
Hop on a plane back
Learn to take care of yourself
To the place where your face
Where your face didn't face
Top chef gonna cook that
I order the steak
I order the Porter

Battles are never over
It takes so long to fight
We knock out all the strangers
We write and write and write

It don't get any easier
I wanna see us free
Let's sing out in the morning
You can depend on me

“Frankly, pop culture is a bit better at rocking people emotionally than the better chunk of the so-called fine arts.” - Kadono Kouhei, authour of ‘Boogiepop’

“...소위 팝컬쳐라 불리는 게 있다. 예술이라 하기엔 좀 그렇긴 한데 하여튼 사람의 마음을 뒤흔드는 점에 간해서는 어정쩡한 파인 아트보다 힘이 세기도 하는 놈이다.” - 카도노 코우헤이, '부기팝' 작가
