In 'Jerkin',' Amy Taylor proclaims, 'You are just a critic/And you want to hit it ... Keep jerkin' on your squirter/You will never get with me.' This lyric dismisses external judgment and embodies the band's defiant attitude towards criticism. The track sets the tone for 'Cartoon Darkness,' where Taylor navigates her tumultuous rise in the music scene with both defensiveness and pride. The underlying message emphasizes the importance of being the one in the struggle rather than merely commenting from the sidelines.
'U Should Not Be Doing That' serves as a personal manifesto for Taylor, presenting her experiences with criticism and doubters. The smoldering bass groove and smoky saxophone underscore a narrative of resilience, with lines like, 'I was in LA/Shaking my shit,' contrasting her hustle against the naysayers back home. The track reveals a deeper layer, urging listeners to embrace their journeys while dismissing those who attempt to undermine their successes.
