Year of the Cup is probably the most underrated song on the album. Its a song about shame and regret from past mistakes. Majority of the lyrics are real things that have happened through Porter's career. "I took out all of my shame on a random guy who probably liked me," refers to a real event from the first Worlds tour iirc where he literally stopped the show and berated a fan for how they were acting in the crowd. He's talked multiple times in interviews about how he looks back on that moment with tons of regret but there were a lot of people on the internet at the time who praised it. Thus "I guess that screaming at my audience works and everyone likes it." Essentially, the whole song is a reflection of Porter's imperfections. It captues the feeling well of how when we make mistakes, we often think about them for ages, even though we're only human.
