Porter Robinson Year of the Cup Lyrics
It’s none of my goddamn business what’s in the cup
But it’s a beautiful thing, man
But it’s not a beautiful thing because nobody knows what’s in the cup
That’s the whole thing
Unless you come up and drink what’s in my cup
Then how can you say it’s a beautiful thing?
Also, when people drink alcohol, they react
So whatever the hell was in my cup, the only reaction I did
Was got more popular, more successful
Did a lot more things that I’ve ever done
Picked up a guitar, learned how to play it
Learned how to put on the Auto-Tunes and stretched my voice
I probably should pick that cup back up
I swore not to care, but on that night, I couldn’t help it
I took out all of my shame on a random guy who probably liked me
And that night, it was the obvious first time you were disappointed
I spewed out that irresponsible mantra, “I’m sorry I’m like this”
“What the hell was in his cup?
Whatever he was drinking must be a motherf**kin’ success potion”
That’s why I tell people, “F**k you and whatever was in my cup
Suck my dick, I’m gon’ keep drinking it, bitch”
Ah, “Something’s in the air like vanilla”, I got on my Facebook
And that time, I had the courage to call her and tell her that I loved her
I guess that screaming at my audience works and everyone likes it
I dreamed of cutting my Achilles’ heel: wanting people to like me
Don’t judge me, tryna say, “Yeah, he should’ve put the cup down”
Why? What did he do wrong? Name it
He was on 60 Minutes with, he was on 60 Minutes with Katie Couric
Was you? No
I’m just tryna make people understand that, don’t judge me
I can’t go to sleep ’cause my mind keeps ringing with times that I
Laid out everything wrong with me up on stage, it’s embarrassing
“F**k you, you don’t deserve me,” the bus went totally silent
And “help me” was what I meant to say as I gnashed my teeth right in front of you
Yeah, I kinda put the cup down for a minute, but um
Ain’t nothing in the cup right now but some wine, I drink Dolce
That’s about it, that’s the only thing in the cup right now, but honestly
I asked you if I never changed, would you love me? Expecting the negative
Clever, turning the question around to me was obvious
I hate this version of me that was safe and sanitized thoroughly
You think you’ll let people down and divine some perfect apology
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
The answer was obvious
What’s in the cup? Is it really none of my goddamn business?
