Porter tweeted out a video of himself describing the song on the day of its release.

In the video, he explained how the track came at a peak of a “creative low point” in the creation Nurture, some time in 2015 or 2016. He was unsure whether he could continue creating music, but the song’s drop helped motivate him to continue writing for the album. He also revealed that he didn’t write another song for Nurture until 2018 and didn’t finish this song until 2019.

Something Comforting
Porter Robinson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I send this void away
Have I lost a part of me?
When you wake you're bargaining
For the promise to come back

'Cause getting made you want more
And hoping made you hurt more
Oh, there must be

Something wrong with me
And getting made you want more
And hoping made you hurt more
Someone tell me
Something comforting

Take what you want, but you're tied by the tooth
Wasn't it meant to relieve you?
So suffer the signs that you needed to change
Heed all the ways you'd been thinking

'Cause getting made you want more
And hoping made you hurt more
Oh, there must be
Something wrong with me
'Cause getting made you want more
And hoping made you hurt more
Someone tell me
Something comforting

Something comforting
Something comforting
Something comforting
Something comforting
Something comforting
Something comforting
Something comforting
Something comforting

Something comforting

And hoping made you hurt more
Oh, there must be
Something wrong with me
'Cause getting made you want more
And hoping made you hurt more
Someone tell me
Something comforting

Oh, something comforting

Overall Meaning

The song "Something Comforting" by Porter Robinson talks about the futile search for comfort and happiness in life. The lyrics touch upon the emotions of hope and desire, and how they can lead to disappointment and pain. The opening lines of the song "If I send this void away, Have I lost a part of me?" describe the void within us that we often try to fill with external things like material possessions, relationships, or success. The lyrics also talk about the need for validation from others, and how it can sometimes be a burden rather than a comfort. The line "Someone tell me something comforting" is a plea for reassurance and comfort in the midst of the emotional turmoil.

Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of introspection and self-reflection. The line "Take what you want, but you're tied by the tooth, Wasn't it meant to relieve you?" can be interpreted as a reminder that even though we may achieve our goals and get what we want, it doesn't bring lasting happiness or satisfaction. The song suggests that true comfort comes from within and not from external factors. The closing lines of the song repeat the plea for comfort, but also acknowledge that the search for it is ongoing and never-ending.

Line by Line Meaning

If I send this void away
If I try to escape from the emptiness inside me

Have I lost a part of me?
Have I lost something that was once a part of me?

When you wake you're bargaining
When you wake up, you're hoping for a better future

For the promise to come back
In exchange for the promise of things getting better

'Cause getting made you want more
Because achieving something makes you want to achieve more

And hoping made you hurt more
And yet, hope only causes more pain and disappointment

Oh, there must be
Oh, I can't help but feel

Something wrong with me
That there's something fundamentally wrong with me

Take what you want, but you're tied by the tooth
You can take what you desire, but be careful because it might ensnare you

Wasn't it meant to relieve you?
Didn't you go after it in the hopes that it would make you happier?

So suffer the signs that you needed to change
So endure the consequences of realizing you need to make a change

Heed all the ways you'd been thinking
Pay attention to the thoughts you've been having

Someone tell me
I need someone to

Something comforting
Tell me something that will bring me peace

And hoping made you hurt more
And yet, hope only causes more pain and disappointment

Oh, something comforting
Oh, I really need something that will comfort me

Something Comforting it's the biggest "you'll be okay" message life has ever send to me. I'm keeping these lyrics in my heart, and also the feeling of it breaking into pieces ever single time I hear "Oh, there must be... Something wrong with me", that line, I can't help but break dome into tears, at first it was like sadness, recognition of my emptyness, but then it became subtle, less negative, like if I were saying that to myself, comforting myself exactly.

I admire Porter for his ability to create such personal and powerful songs. Each one of them, since the beginning, they all feel like he's hugging us. Like he's there for us.
Love you Porter, so excited for the waiting.

This video is a perfect representation of Porter's journey; Every day in this miniature forest of his, he woke up, did his daily routine, and even as the forest was burning day after day, he still insisted on the same daily activities. However, when he finally took the step outside the forest, a whole world opened up in his mind, which helped open his eyes about his daily routines. When he finally escaped the forest, he became immersed in a whole universe of inspiration and beauty, leading him to instead wake up in a huge world of endless possibility.

Porter talked about how life was growing stale and horrible in the pursuit to make new music. He would cut out most aspects of what a "normal" life would be with the belief to have the firm identity as a "musician." However, this cycle of waking up, going onto the computer to attempt to make music for 10 hours and going back to sleep, made finding inspiration to make music even harder. What he normally considered his creation bubble of his studio quickly became a rotting forest. So, when he decided to chill out and try new things in life, that's when creation once again sparked in him, with this newfound appreciation of the world around him, and the spark from that became Nurture.

To me, this song has always been about depression. The void that opens up in your heart... after a while, it becomes a part of you. Trying to get better, to find hope in your future can feel like trying to abandon that part of yourself, like you're losing part of yourself.

But years later, I can say that's not the case. That void is still sort of there... I don't think it will ever leave, but it isn't hostile anymore. It's there whenever I see someone struggling to get up in the morning, and it helps me be kind. It helps me understand I'm not alone, they're not alone and we all need help sometimes.

It helps me reach out a hand and say the world really isn't as bad as you think.

It helps me smile, and say something comforting :)

@algamation5101

4y↑2K

You know Porter, I doubt you'll ever see this, but I feel like I just needed to say this to someone, whoever's listening out there. The first time I ever heard this song was probably one of the most emotionally distressing days of my life. I'd spent the entire day arguing with my parents after getting dragged into some argument they were having that morning. Hours later they were telling me that they couldn't stay in the same house anymore and that me and my siblings (one of which is only 11 years old. I'd tried comforting her but she was just destroyed) had to choose who they were going to live with. I begged them not to force us to choose something like this. I just wanted them to stay together. After a while I just couldn't handle being around them anymore, so I left to my room and cried into a stuffed platypus plush while they continued arguing in the living room. After writing out my last words to my sisters so that I would know what to say to them if we weren't living together anymore, I got a notification for this video, and I've got to say, the timing couldn't have been any more perfect. I listened to this a couple of times to try to calm myself down a little, and even though I continued to cry for a long time, and I had to take multiple days off of school because I just couldn't handle being around my classmates in that state, your music was just, for lack of a better term, comforting. Luckily, my parents decided not to split up a few days later, though all of us aren't exactly on great terms right now. I just wanted you to know that. Even if you never read this. Your music has provided me some relief in a very tough time in my life. So, thanks man. You're an amazing artist.

EDIT: I'm doing a lot better now than I was back when I first posted this, and I've left an update further down in the replies (well Youtube's being weird so I actually had to add it to the end of this comment but nevermind that). I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards the now thousands of people this comment has reached (I really didn't expect that kind of response when I first posted it, maybe two or three replies at most!) I'm so grateful that Porter's community is so supportive and encouraging. Really, your kind words really helped reinforce to me early on that other people do have the capacity to care about my problems. Keep being great everyone, your words mean more than you know! I've decided to leave this comment here as a reminder to myself how far I've come, and as a reminder to others reading it that suffering is natural, but it doesn't devalue or define you like I'd first thought of myself. Your life can get better no matter where you are now. Even if it takes a while, I guarantee you it's worth it.

UPDATE: I've been wondering just how to respond to all this for a while now, but now feels like a better time than never, so here I go. I wanted you all to know that, overall, my life's a lot better now than it used to be. I've reconnected with a lot people I care about and have received the kind support and encouragement I've really needed to begin healing and moving past some of the more unsavory parts of my life so far. Not to say I have no problems at all of course, there's been plenty more I've had to deal with than what you see in that original comment, but at the very least I finally feel like I can handle my own issues for the first time in my life, and for once my future's looking brighter than my past. I've moved out of my parent's house, I'll soon be graduating high school, I'm coming up on finishing a few personal writing projects that I'm very satisfied with, and without going into too much detail, I'm beginning to finally come to terms with some personal identity stuff that I'd been taught to hate and repress all my life. I'm sorry if any of you have been worried about me after all this time, but I hope you can see this now so I can let you know that your reaching out to me here wasn't in vain. Really, this is probably some of the most genuine care and concern I've ever received. I hope you all know that it's people like you who've helped to keep people like me going all this time. Without the encouragement from all of you thousands of people, I might not even be writing this update. I love all of you beautiful people,
Thanks for caring :')

Anything porter related fills me with so many good feelings, he’s honestly something that’s very comforting, his stuff always comes at the perfect time for me, and fills me with so much joy, and when depression takes it’s hold, even just for a little bit, his music is like a mirror of the real world, one more accurate than my mind depicts, it shows me that life if way more expansive and beautiful than my cloudy judgment made me think. So thank you porter, I hope you all get your wish. ❤️

To be honest, I have a kind of a personal attachment to this song. When this song was released, I was listening to it like crazy. A few days after it was released,
my dad died in an accident.
I was so sad and still is. I felt like it was the end of the world. But then I suddenly remembered this song. This song became like a tool that helped me get through the tough time I was going through.
This song makes me happy and sad at the same time that I just can't explain it. That's the reason why I love it. I feel like that this song is there for me whenever I need it and I just can't stop binging it now.

From Porter’s interview with popjustice

“It’s about someone who’s stuck and trying to leave — but it’s scary trying to leave. It’s a representation of being stuck in this little studio: being creatively stuck, and the darkness outside the garden is representing the uncertainty of life outside your routines. It’s about taking a leap of faith towards a healthier and more balanced situation.”

"Stuck in this little studio" is much deeper than it seems literally. Im very artistic and creative, but years ago, i stopped trying to work on and create new projects all the time because i was sort of becoming an artistic hermit. Even in some philosphical/psychological theories, being stuck in even something positive can have negative effects because youre stuck there. "Artists are slaves to their ideas". Itll work for a bit, but its gona get to a point where you have to change, whether its in your control or not.

Been listening to Porter ever since middle school. This particular song means so much to me, it could not have came out at a better time. 2020 was the same year I lost my father, and being able to turn to the nuture album during my darkest days helped me through so much. I had no hope, was questioning the point of life and felt so empty inside. Nuture reminded me how precious life is and to cherish every moment. Thank you PORTER! Your music has been a breath of life and a beacon of light to me during the darkness.

@Zephyr Female voice is synthesized by him.

@Christopher Burtraw it's not a female voice. It's his own voice pitched up like in Get Your Wish.

@ChristopherBurtraw

4y↑37

@Weird account big doubts. The feminine voices on his music (that aren't guest singers) are synthesized by a self-modified Avanna. He often duets with it. Sad Machine is a prime example.

I can't believe this came out over two years ago, but thank you for such a wonderful song.

Out of all the phrases, these are current mood lyrics: So suffer the signs that you needed to change//heed all the ways you'd been thinking.

Robinson's songs make me feel like I can die a happy person and that i have lived my life to the fullest. Additionally, they give me a type of nostalgia that has a bitter, sweet feeling to it.

I really feel like I’m maturing along with this new album. The idea of finding comfort in this world really speaks to me. Contrary to the concept of worlds which was about escapism, which I totally felt identified with. Now we’re finding comfort in this world, without having to escape from it. The timing of the album really resonates with my life at the moment.

Essa msc mudou muito a minha percepção de vida, e me fez enxergar como eu não consiguia progredir nos meus sonhos, sempre estático na zona de conforto, pensando que tudo estava bem e que eu estava evoluindo muito. Mas não estava, muito obrigado Porter por melhorar a minha visão e me fazer ver que eu estava totalmente errado sobre o meu desenvolvimento, agr eu estou tentando sair dessa zona gigante de conforto, e espero que eu consiga sair e conseguir algo mais reconfortante do que antes

@annixoxoart

Wow!! Such a deep song and it doesn’t compromise on the structure nor the melody. I love how different it is. The first time I heard this song, I broke down crying. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song relate life’s difficulties so clearly. Feels like a mix between a hug and a push. Definitely a song I’ve kept on repeat through many difficult times. It became more fascinating the more I listened to it. I can finally say I’m not afraid of hope anymore. Thank you for this gem Porter!!

i love this song, when i listen to it feels like one of the few songs that i can relate to as a person with sensory issues, everything is fine then things become piercing, happy faces become malicious, and it feels like the world is unraveling until i can get it under control and its like a breath of fresh air, even the trees at the end, the artificial one looks pretty but is glitchy and feels wrong, the one in shadows is comforting in its realness

Wow, in my opinion, the beginning parts, he grows himself and his music and is trying to find himself. And during the part where he’s suspended with the sky, he feels like he’s writing the best music he could, but when it’s the dark stormy weather, it’s the depression setting in and then the screen is a blank canvas for him to restart. And then nurture happens!! Love you Porter, really needed this

I don't know if you will read this, but thank you so much for this beautiful song❤️
I found this song couple weeks ago and and I started using it as my coping mechanism. I suffered from depression and eating problems 8 months ago and it was the worst time of my life. Right now I'm still recovering and sometimes the bad thoughts "You're not good enough, you're not thin enough" still popping up. So everytime I listen to this song, it reminds me to be strong and get rid of those bad thought.

Once again, thank you so much and I hope you have a great day❤️❤️

Not only his music has a deep meaning in it but all his video too. I mean he puts so much thought in a single video...so metaphoric and poetic
I'm not wrong if I say he is the Christopher Nolan of Music Industry.

This song gotta be the best of ALL the songs I have ever listened. I really love Unfold and Shelter but this one gotta be higher. Shelter made me cry, Unfold made me feel something unexplainable, and Something Comforting did both. I've been listening to this song for 1 year now and I still do. I'll never get tired of it. Like really, I love this song soooo much especially the chorus. Thank so much for this song like really thank you very very much <3

“If I send this void away, have I lost a part of me?”
That line really sets this song up for me. I have BPD and I’m on the path to getting better, but giving up on my suffering, the emptiness, it feels wrong because that’s what I know. I love this song because it’s sad yet hopeful, and that’s how I feel. Thank you, Porter. I’m glad that you made this song, it helps. It’s something comforting.
