porter robinson - wind tempos (former hero edit)

"The song is written about a pretty bleak moment of last year when I was drinking very heavily. My friends were pretty worried about me, but I didn’t want to talk about it. Foxgloves are a super beautiful, almost unreal-looking flower that also happens to be extremely poisonous, so it felt like a good nonsense word to use as a distraction from the actual issues I was facing at the time." - Former Hero

✨ Lyrics
We talk about Foxgloves

We talk foxgloves, planted in row
All the while i’ll ignore the problem
I’ll get so drunk I can barely make it home
I need your help but i can’t ask so,

We talk foxgloves, planted in row
All the while i’ll ignore the problem
I’ll get so drunk I can barely make it home
I need your help but i can’t ask so,

We talk foxgloves, planted in row
All the while i’ll ignore the problem
I’ll get so drunk I can barely make it home
I need your help but i can’t ask so,

We talk foxgloves, Slurring my words
All this beauty just makes me worse
I’ll get so drunk I don’t wanna go home
I know i’m leaving soon so,
We talk about foxgloves.

✧ Lyrics
Sun pierces the leaves
Float by the riverside
Nothing’s where it should be
I’m not who I used to be

Homesickness set in
But I never left
I’m just trailing on and on
(and on and on)

The world’s too bright
And i’m too tired
To feel the same.

I just wanna fit in frame for once
I’m in those photos but i’m not
Just a vacant stare in the distance
Letting tourists choose my name
Just let me in frame.
Just let me in frame.
Just let me in frame

And I see you winding down
And I feel like there’s no time
So i’ll sing your name forevermore
And I hope that you’ll sing mine.

Just let me in frame

Sink to the floor
Sink through the earths core
Now I have nothing left to say
I call out for you
Call out for something new
And all I hear back is go away

✧ Lyrics
There’s a place in my town I wanted to bring you to
A forest with a beating heart and morning dew

I need to know if you’re here right now
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Bite my lip before you float back home
I want you to feel me every night
Just as much as I feel you there

Surround me
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Fingertip to Fingertip now
I learned a lot about leaning into the feeling
And letting go in the summer heat
Holding hands despite my fears
Getting closer everyday
All encompassed by his heart so
Surround me
Surround me

Surround me
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Surround me
Fingertip to Fingertip now
Fingertip to Fingertip now

✧ Lyrics
Hey
I’m going overboard
The ocean made it’s call
And i’m what it’s looking for

Lets go
Lets see who swims best
I went rogue
Severed my life vest

You and I
Are one in the same
So why am I
Caught under the waves?
Drifting out
I wanted to be saved
So why are you
At the shore just the same?

Lets go
Lets see who swims best

Swims Best

Former Hero - Swims Best

deepfake

a cardinal
fell from the sky
so far from home
so alone 

sometimes i dream in black and white
i don’t know why
i guess i’m numb

but i’m not gonna let it show
anymore
i think it’s time i divide and divide 
until one of me’s ecstatic to be alive
and i hope i grow
til i’m tall enough
to see over myself 
and my faults
but until then
i'm just a cardinal

take my wretched head
turn it into a satellite
bury wings so deep
i have no choice but to take flight

tell the ground i said goodbye
and i'll miss the soil beneath my skin
but i'm gonna get so high
i'll watch the earth as it spins
i'll watch the earth as it spins

cardinal

to you, for everything

i want branches to grow inside me
to reach out and hold you close
i want new love to hold me tightly

if you've come to see me, come another day
if you don't believe me, best be on your 
hiding in the treetops, i just can't recall your name
if you don't believe me, best be on your way

if the earth takes you, meet me half way 
i'd take a purgatory just to know your shape
and your heart never fades quite like a 
perfect day, nothing else just you and me
everything is great 
nothing is wrong
kiss me again, 
hold my hand
sorry i'm 
like this
we 
never
talk
any
more

if you know me you probably know that jon is easily my fav musician on the planet. this song is incredibly important to me in ways i truly don't think i can put into words.

i've always wanted a version that i can play out in sets without sacrificing the tempo (i usually play around 140-150bpm), thus this was born.

so lay your head
lay your head

Made It

Buried

i didn't want to come back here
until i felt like me again
could i stay for the night
i don't know who i am anymore

singing a song about poisonous flowers
when i should've gone to rehab
four years seems awful long time
to be drowning, get it's time
so i sing

let the forest floor reclaim me take me home
let the roots unfurl around and break my bones 
i don't wanna be where i am i just wanna go home
let the forest floor reclaim me take me home
