Porter Robinson - Year of the Cup (Official Audio)

Follow Porter Robinson

(… - it's none of my god damn business what's in the cup, but it's a beautiful thing, man.
But … it's not a beautiful thing, cause 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 get more popular,
more successful,
did a lot more things than I've ever done,
picked up a guitar, learned how to play it,
learned how to turn put on the auto-tune and stretch 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 motherfucking success potion,
That's why I tell people, "fuck you",
and whatever was in my cup, suck my dick,
I'm gonna keep drinking it, bitch)

Aah~,
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

(…understand that - don't judge me,
trying to say, "He should have put the cup down" - Why?
What did he do wrong?
Name it
He was on 60 minutes with Katie Couric, was you? No!
I 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
"Fuck you, you don't deserve me", the bus went totally silent
"Help me" is what I meant to say
as I gnashed my teeth right in front of you

(Yeah, I’ve 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 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 it was obvious
I hate this version of me that was safe and sanitized thoroughly
You think you'll let people down and define some perfect apology
The answer was obvious (x4)

(What's in the cup - is it really none of my goddamn business?)

[hi_its_jerry]

this album is such a curveball. i wasn't ready at all

[LTANorth]

can't believe this guy plays trundle

[Rokutv]

3:58 This part of the song made me think my headphones were dying for a second, thank you portable chargerson

[afw-xjqw]

IDK if this will help anyone but if you're getting to the end of the song and you think your headphones are bugging out, it's not you.

[mewhodoyouthink]

You probably get this a lot, but one of the things I love about you as an artist is how you wear your heart on your sleeve in so many of your songs. It makes you feel really relatable and gives your lyrics and songs that much more oomph.

[rainymakesmusic]

I didn't have a Lil Wayne sample/feature on my bingo card for the album omfg I love this

[itsSKRMPZ]

I remember like 10 years ago driving across the state to see this girl I was so into. I had just heard Language for the first time and i must have listened to it for nearly the entire 3.5 hour drive. The vocals always got me tearing up. We didn't work out but she was always a great person. She passed recently, and way too young. Crying my eyes out to this song brought that memory back, and even if it hurts i'm happy i have it.

Idk if you'll see this but thank you so much for your music, and thank you for having the brass balls to just make what you're feeling.

[steaqwq]

I think this song gets better every replay honestly. I love the world tour version of this. Truly a dullscythe phenomenon

[slapshox]

im gonna play this album non stop in my cafe starting today.

[ThyHarvesting]

Loving the slight Nurture vibe to this one 💚

[jordonpollock]

3 weeks later this is still the best song on the album, the achilles heel line is calling me out hard

[KlausenGod-mnbl]

2:06 It feels weird how this is the angriest i've ever heard him

[superStarshines]

no one knows what's in the cup🥲

another beautiful landscape, porter🩵🩵✌️✌️👑

[AJ-snlz]

Man, this is really channeling that early 2000s pop rock sound so amazingly. I hear so much influence from Vanessa Carlton, Avril Lavigne, and Michelle Branch on this one.

A stand out track to me. So emotional.💙

[im_NathanSky]

Holding a cup in your hands while cranking this hits VERY different. I respect cups a lot more now thanks Porter! ❤🥤

[colinkelch]

Wakes up for work, blast porters new album 🙏 feeling blessed

[CthW_]

Cried to this, thank you Porter for making this song. I felt all those emotions and the perspective you wrote <3 SMILE! is a fucking great follow up to Nurture and im really happy you make this music that speaks to you, thank you

[nic]
