Caliber Girl - weevildoing ft. XIA YU YAO

[@wishingmoons8762]

I've listened to plenty of terrible songs, i even made a few. But, in my years of listening to "songs" that make me want to kms I have never heard anything like this auditory meth withdrawal. The lyrics are the edgiest "it's not a phase mom" bullshit, the character design is just plain ugly, the midi instruments are horribly programmed, the vocals manage to be flat and boring despite being made with one of the best AI voice synths, the melody has no rhythm, and the mixing is basically non existent. Please give up, edgelord.

[@CrimyAndTheMoonphases]

What about the lyrics are edgy? (not mad but just curious about your prospective)

[@WeevilDoing]

what if the world was made of pudding

Whatever happened to hello? How are you? My name is?

[@cinnaluna_]

i'm a really huge fan of how the background footage for this one is a highway. high speed. little movements change everything. errors can be fatal.

[@coffeecat8568]

This aged so well omg

[@Crosskreig]

I'm interested in Calibur girls design. Specifically the bullets. Bullets are pretty precise and have exactly one purpose which is to kill. So i would like to believe the bullets represent Calibur girls accuracy when it comes to performing most tasks, but also her being raised to serve one purpose which is to succeed. edit: I have even more to say lol. I like the futuristic aesthetic that was chosen for her. With the future we tend to associate it with automation but also perfection, as most problems or technologies have been perfected or vastly improved. And with the bullets again, I like how she uses the bullets, (the tool/accessory) instead of the gun (the more vocal portion/ the reason why the bullets work in the first place). The design is just perfect breh.

[@ForestAnomaly]

You made me think about how the gun is the one thing that controls where the bullet goes, and the only thing that is left for the bullet is reach the target with swiftness and precisement, which could also tell about Caliber girl lacking actual control over her life and goals but still having to perform perfectly.

[@Charles-qx6yz]

Chinese characters translation (With the help of 2 separate image translators and my friend who is learning chinese. If we're wrong pls correct us ^_^'') In order: Chorus " Day and night " " Abandon sleep, forget to eat " " Racking my brain " / " Racked my brains " / Something along the lines of that " Too late to regret " That one part in parenthesis: " (Contradictory) "

[@summerswallowsubs1888]

Another cool thing to add on to "day and night" is that idiom is used to describe strenuous and continuous effort!

[@derpywhoms]

caliber girl... save me.... caliber girl.... save me caliber girl!!

[@derpywhoms]

idk man that person in the pinned comment sounds like a real goofball. so I'm going to yap about my own opinions on this song :3 to me the mechanical/industrial sounds remind me of feeling burnt out, just sort of going through the motions with no breaks. the lyrics don't scream "it's not a phase mom" but it definitely screams "I was labelled as high functioning, therefore I had unfair expectations thrown onto me as a result" the mixing is really good; throughout most of the song, caliber girl has an even and steady range, but there are parts where she goes above and beyond (like in the "if I'm not perfect I don't want to be anything at all" part) and I think that really fits in with the theme of the song. staying at a steady pace and doing what you have to, but then eventually having enough and diverting away from that i hope I worded everything alright ‼️ I am just super passionate about this project and I love analysing every little note and syllable and coming to my own silly conclusions

[@whitefoxtoast1830]

the line ''a wild stallion reduced to a deer in headlights'' goes incredibly hard, im in love with this song

[@WeevilDoing]

sorry for the reupload before the premiere, i had to fix something in editing......! ^_^ '

[@jujuoof174]

It’s okay!

[@jujuoof174]

Absolutely worth the wait

[@ratto999]

Just something I noticed, this video is 4:44 and in chinese culture the number four is considered unlucky as it sounds like the word die in mandarin. I don't know if this was on purpose but its very neat !

[@jujuoof174]

Ironic how in Christian culture the number 444 is associated with angels lmao Cool stuff!

[@ev_rlasting]

Unsure if it was intentional (i'm inclined to believe it was) but the parallel between the lyric about being reduced to a deer in the headlights, and then the ending lyric about heading into the light which might be a trick?? with the road imagery???

[@Eosinophyllis]

so very excited for this one. where are my girlies that got raised by parents with stupidly high standards of them, their work output and their duties because we’ve got a new national anthem

[@terrorhorrorcryptid]

WE ARE RIGHT HERE AND WE’RD JAMMINH

[@Dfyki]

IM HERE 4 MONTHS LATER

[@stqticcruncher]

the tuning the effects, the tempo changes, the subtle gun noises, the meaningful lyrics, the symbolism, the references in her design, IT ALL WORKS SO WELL, WEEVIL YOU HAVE OUTDONE YOURSELF THIS IS AMAZING

[@user-vw4xp5nt9f]

i like how the mv is about driving. i have a lot of thoughts about it. driving is a lot of work, until it becomes second nature (still a lot of work but more automatic). perhaps caliber girl's work has become second nature to her, making it seem less valuable in her eyes, leading to her doing more work as a challenge / to prove herself to her employers / whatever it is. also driving can kill people but it is treated very casually. also like working!

[@user-vw4xp5nt9f]

also its technology which seems to be her theme lol

[@camovoca]

traffic is so EVIL for making me miss the premiere of this bc holy hell i love this song so MUCH!! so far this is my favorite girl and the one i think i connect with the most,, both you and caligi did an AMAZING job at crafting her character and i absolutely need to rant abt this or else the autism might not let me out of here alive I alreadt loved caliber girl and her story but when u mentioned on tumblr that she's chinese-american and the fact that that's important to her story she became my top favorite!! LIKE OK . Caliber girl reflects the mentality and work culture of so many immigrant communities; im iraqi specifically so i can only speak for that specific culture, but ive seen the same sentiments reflected when talking to my other immigrant friends It's specifically the ideas of american expetionalism and the "american dream" that gets sold to so many immigrants. So many people come to this country due to poverty or war (for me and my family it was the latter), and we're promised vague ideas of "oppurtunity" and "freedom", when that's not what ends up being given to us American work culture will kill you from the inside and work you till you're sick, and we're told to appreciate and be grateful for what we're given. We're brushed off when we look for structural solutions and we're not allowed value outside of what we could bring to the workplace. Moving to America i was told that i could get anything i wanted if i worked hard enough and "pulled myself up by the bootstraps", and then when we inevitably struggle and burnout we feel as though we're simply not "strong" enough, and this attitude kills people!! To me, caliber girl represents the myth of the "model minority", of the immigrant or the woman who picked herself up and broke through the glass ceiling through sheer grit or determination. And maybe that's what she genuinely believes herself to be, and it's what she wants to be, and it's all she feels like she *could* be because for all the "oppurtunties" she was given to work herself to death, she was never presented with the oppurtunity to simply be. Caliber girl shows the ugly, ugly truth behind the facade of american exeptionalism. It's tiring and jt's dull and it sees you as nothing other than a pawn to exploit for the sake of some respective company. I am . Im so obsessed with this character and all she represents, both you and caligi did an absolutely amazing job conceptualizing her and bringing her to life. She's going on my kin list IMMEDIATELY ❤❤

[@jujuoof174]

Thank you for that perspective!!

[@Lily-ge4tm]

Yay fellow autistic ranting!!!! 🎉🎉😂 I relate to this song a lot too, and this kind of mentality is what led to my autistic burnout (I relate to faenant girl heavily rn because of that). It sucks.

[@Sandwichscoot]

Former gifted kid here! This song kills me because I know that feeling of never feeling like you’re doing enough no matter your accomplishments. I lament the person I used to be, the grades I used to get. Thank you for helping me process this experience with this song, I am excited for the rest of post traumatic manifesto!!

[@DiceDNugget]

Translations for the Chinese >:3 ( sorry if they aren't accurate, i dont know the language and just used a translator) 夜以继日 (yèyǐjìrì) Night and day, continuous strenuous effort 废寝忘食 (fèiqǐnwàngshí) To skip ones sleep and meals 绞尽脑汁 (jiǎo jǐn nǎozhī) To rack ones brain 追悔莫及 (zhuīhuǐ mò jí) Too late for regrets 自相矛盾 (zìxīang máodùn) To contradict oneself

[@Popthebop]

Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@jujuoof174]

Thanks lots!!

[@kokonut1063]

COMING BACK TO THIS SONG AFTER READING THE ??? PAGE AND FINDING OUT THAT CALIBER GIRL GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE VISUALS ARE. ON A HIGHWAY. ITS SO SIMPLE BUT OUGHH THE FORESHADOWING IS SO GOOD

[@skvllzz]

Weevildoing finds the perfect way to express the emotions of traumatic experiences while making it listenable. It's beautiful to see the emotion and thought put into this. We love you WeevilDoing! 💖

[@sillyspider]

WOAH HALFWAY THROUGH THE CHARACTERS!? time flies omfggg. anyways another banger as usual. i like how it becomes more intense and distorted as it goes on. it really helps emphasise the meaning of the lyrics!!

[@thatsanriosoftboy]

So, listened to the song a few times, went to go check the character page, immediately thought “ow that’s relatable” then I notice the “install Ublock Origin” banner and immediately thought “UBLOCK ORIGIN MENTIONED” and was very excited ^^ (Also it’s so weird that every time I hear a new track from this project I’m at a different point in my life that the song relates to?? Definitely has helped making cope with it all easier though, helps to know other people are going through it too, so thanks for that!)

[@omnipresentstarfall]

Real. When Faineant girl was the most recent, I was literally experiencing heavy instances of internalized ableism for my neurodivergency

[@thatsanriosoftboy]

Oh yeah, when I first heard Faineant Girl I had just learned I was physically disabled and also chronically ill, there used to be an old comment of mine that I wrote when I heard it, and I was definitely having a rough time with it.

[@jujuoof174]

Love this musical commentary on modern woman’s place and expectations in our capitalistic society

[@AutopsyTurvyy]

i sincerely hope weevil was watching the primer chat with a big dumb smile on their face. they earned it

[@jujuoof174]

YES

[@ennnetc]

im in love with the vocal melody in this, and the changes in genre/tone are so good!!

[@synthskeptic]

AHHH i’m so sorry for missing the premiere!! but wow, i really didn’t expect this song to be as relatable as it is. the lyrics are really well written and i am once again admiring the way that they’re really able to cut into the center of the issue and bare these inner thoughts for everyone to see. it’s very real and it feels very cathartic to be able to see those very personal thoughts and feelings spoken aloud regardless of the guilt or shame usually attached to those kind of feelings, and the stigma against letting that part of you be seen. anyways yeah this was really good aa

[@jujuoof174]

Yes, amazing work!!

[@provenriveter]

Calliber girl you crazy devil you. I love love LOOOVE this series so much, love how when the music ends (and when she gets into that vehicular accident) you can hear the gears (or cogs??) that symbolize her CONSTANTLY working finally start to stop, but whats so sad about it is that the only thing that got her to stop working was to pass out via car accident 😭😭

[@LevitheEldritchAbomination]

OH MY GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL The lyrics absolutely scream desolation and it's wonderful in the way it's presented Beat is a banger I can really get a vibe from this The way it gets deeper and more industrial at the end is SO COOL Tore out my internal organs and turned it into Christmas garland, this bitch just got playlisted

[@Cyb3r_Angell]

this song has GOT to be my favorite in tptm holy shit

[@kiteflight]

I don't usually comment on things but this project is just so amazing I feel like it makes the most sense. A lot of these songs are really cathartic to listen to. Thank you for sharing. It's not even that it makes me feel less alone (because I'm not alone and I know that) but it helps me feel some understanding. Kinda like the song itself understands, if that makes sense. Especially regarding splitter, disposable and irreverent. Your work is fantastic and I listen to it often. Your music has genuinely helped me feel my emotions in a safe way so that I can get up again. Idk. It's just nice to see/hear art that sees you, and you've been doing a really good job. So yeah. Thank you! And best of luck for whatever you want in life. I don't know if you'll see this, but hopefully it at least will help the algorithm. This is written kind of choppy, but I didn't want to say more or less than I meant.

[@троглодітес]

since i listened to all 5 songs from the album they've been playing nonstop in my head taking turns lol. i can't exactly relate to all of the lyrics but there's just something about them that, on one hand, slightly disturbs me, but on the other hand brings some kind of comfort??? also the music itself, the vocals and the character designs are very catchy and tbh now i wanna make fanart of caliber girl because so far she's the one i can relate to the most. looking forward to the remaining 5 songs!

[@lambyy]

i missed the premiere sadly but AAAAHH this is so good and so worth the wait! this is absolutely amazing, the way the song switches up is so cool and i also adore her design, i think it might be my favorite design out of all the tptm girls so far :D

[@ashmintyrina]

the "all" note was majestic. well, the whole song itself is!

[@jujuoof174]

Omggg this one’s good!! Great job on it!! Thank you for giving sooo many people à voice!

[@max._.jakobb]

IVE BEEN ABLE TO SORT OF RELATE TO ALL THE CHARACTERS SO FAR AND IM CONCERNED FOR MY WELL BEING

[@froggutz101]

THE LYRICS ARE SO REAL THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Dedan_Rigor]

Nah this seriously hit home for me, i used to be the "gifted child" and it slowly fell apart, i tried getting better yet everyone saw me as a failure, told me that i wont have a respectable job and that i wont be anyone, i stopped trying, but they did not. "So why is it all off" Im bad at explaining things haha i dont know if anyone would read this and understand it

[@cheyannegiles9772]

No, it makes sense. If it helps, it sucks when people are supportive too, because then when you keep failing you feel like you're wasting everyone's effort

[@eustacewinner]

ahhhhh such a good song!!!the english is so clear..... the voice is so pretty..... the breakcore part in the middle...... the whisper-y part...... all so good! thank you weevildoing for this masterpiece 🎉🎉

[@danadoodles4560]

i definitely can hear the improvement from last year. crazayyy

[@emgy805]

STILL MORBING OVER THIS BUT CHAAAAT THIS CAME OUT SO GOOD I'm so glad I didn't miss the premiere..!!!! huge shoutouts to weevil and caligi and everyone who helped make this song real its so slay

[@orangewsunglasses]

AAAA thank you so much this is amazing!!! I love the way you tuned this, the instrumental changes, the lyrics oh my god. I've never felt more heard by a song- This is honestly so great???? I hate that i missed the premiere but this is still completely worth the wait, keep up the good work and make sure to drink water!! :DD

[@Artie27]

[@ratkingthegreat7161]

Really incredible! I love what was done here. And like I said when the stream was loading, Caliber Girl’s design has some really nice choices, especially the color scheme. This is a really unique entry.

[@MinAway08]

I love how this song really ties to people that had parents who expected high standards out of their child. It gave me that type of feeling except it’s more of me who expects it since I didn’t try until 6th grade? Either way good job Weevil and always rest when you need to :>

[@gato-ol5pw]

The MV is sick as hell as per usual. The song itself has given me a lot to think about, thank you for sharing your music Weevildoing :) i wish I could express how much it means to me

TJIS IS SO COOL….. the lyrics r calling me out

[@StarryNight_00]

I’ve been attached to this song since the demo because it felt very reflective of my experience with OCD. (I had internalized a lot of toxic thought patterns regarding productivity.) The final verse having lines like “my intellect is obsolete” & having the character realize the standards set for herself were impossible made it such an impactful ending to me. Thank you for this song 🩷💙
