this song is such quintessential 'vocaloid music' that it's actually insane. The most vocaloid song to ever exist
@birdie2106
i love vocaloid song subgenre 'deeply personal and emotional but also absolutely slaps'
@Emmett-Jeremiah
Having known Teto since 2011, I'm fecking CRYING how wonderful she sounds now 😠She deserved this voice bank update years ago, I'm so happy
@rachie
man this is so good aaa!!!
@spookysleepyghost
Started this song thinking "Oh! I definitely relate because of my autism" ended it with "ah, I can relate because of abusive relationship trauma as well." It's one of the only songs that perfectly encapsulates the feeling like you're going insane while being gaslit and told to smile the entire time. That last line hit the hardest dude. Absolutely stunning job on this song Kat!
@kreifish

I am a passing Japanese. I found your song by chance. I like the tune and rhythm too much and I am very happy to have found this wonderful piece. I will recommend it to my other friends. Your work should be known to many more people. Thank you for creating and finding this wonderful piece. I am only very sorry that I do not understand the lyrics... *These words are conveyed through a translation site. I apologize if it did not come across well or if it made you feel uncomfortable.

I saw this on tiktok at first, and oh my god I think this is my new favorite vocaloid song. I love the style and beat of this song, it's super catchy. It's like you took the lyricism you usually see with Japanese producers and combined it with the instrumental and production style of Western producers!!! The music video was borderline hypnotic with how the lyrics were done, and the art was so cute😠Amazing song, jaw dropped
@therealcemi
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE BRIDGE INTO THE REFRAIN AT 1:26!? NOT ONLY DID RYU DEVOUR THE TUNING LIKE USUAL, BUT IT JUST SOUNDS SO GOOD...TETO SOUNDS SO REALISTIC HERE...I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO KAT I LOVE YOUR MUSIC NOMNOMNOMNOMNONMOMNOM

~ LYRICS ~
Expectations high from the start - I'll just mess it up
Congratulations, you fell apart - f××k, I messed it up
They tell me I just need to grow up, but I know that they think that I'm not enough
Pirouette your view, and you'll see
There's no cure for burnt out and naive
(It's killing me)
Spinning all around, I think I spun out - my fault by default
Thoughts racing up and down, oh, what to do now? - follow protocol
But I hate this, I don't wanna play ball, I just wanna end this once and for all
Panic all around but never make a sound
Emotional free fall
Stab me with an IV - tell me that it's to protect me
Tell me I should be ignoring everything that makes me bleed
Cynicism inbound - common sense nowhere to be found
I'll bottle up the thought that I'd be better off left underground
It's not my decision if I make it through the night
And I keep crashing through collisions like a dying parasite
Love is an incision that cuts deeper than a knife
But I'll still see it in my vision 'til the afterlife
Ha ha ha ha - laugh through every day
No matter what I do, nobody has a clue
Life's always been this way
I hate, hate, hate this arbitrary game
No matter what you heard, you'll never hear the words
Nobody dares to say
Say you'll be my friend to the very end
but I'm in my head, in my head and I'm seeing red
In a superficial ecosystem recognise the repetition otherwise you'll end up dead
I'll underestimate (overcompensate)
Circumstantiate (hyperventilate)
Rehabilitate (decontaminate)
Losing at the games I told you I don't wanna play
Expectations hitting the ground - my fault by default
No-one left to catch me when I fall down - no more protocol
Feel it in my cells, my final farewell, an antidote, my stairway to Hell
Panic all around, but now I'm yelling out
The one thing I recall
Stab me with an IV - but I know you won't protect me
And I can't keep on ignoring when you make me wanna bleed
Cynicism inbound - common sense nowhere to be found
I'll bottle up the thought that I'd be better off left underground
It's not my decision if I make it through the night
And I keep crashing through collisions like a dying parasite
Love is an incision that cuts deeper than a knife
But I'll still see it in my vision 'til the afterlife
Ha ha ha ha - laugh through every day
No matter what I do, nobody has a clue
Life's always been this way
I hate, hate, hate this arbitrary game
No matter what you heard, you'll never hear the words
Nobody dares to say
{Instrumental break}
Think I'm at the end of a road traveled far too long
And I keep screaming out the lyrics of this idiotic song
Hate me just because I never wanna play along
But I don't wanna live a life where I live in the wrong
Ha ha ha ha - laugh through every day
No matter what I do, nobody has a clue
Life's always been this way
I hate, hate, hate this arbitrary game
No matter what you heard, you'll never hear the words
Nobody dares to say
I'll take a final breath so they can all pretend
They loved me yesterday
:)
@Crossi-P
whenever kat drops a new song and i'm just shook. like how tf are they MY AGE yet have some of the most professional production in the entire vocal synth sphere. KAT, YOU ARE A REVOLUTONARY
@chai.tealeaves
This song goes so HARD. 2:46 specifically? It sounds like Undertale music. As if it couldn't get any bloody better?? The mixing and the lyrics have me in TATTERS, HER TUNING??? FUUUCKKKK MANNNN KAT YOU WON I THINK
@HYPNOPOSSUM
i got to hear the demo for this a few months ago and i was absolutely amazed by how much of a BANGER this is!! i'm so excited that i get to share this with people now, it was hard to keep it a secret hehe :3 can't wait for this to do crazy numbers and make one katrillion dollars!!!
@crescentcreates6286
This song is soooo good and reading the description that it was inspired by Kairiki Bear songs?!? Kairiki Bear made one of my favorite songs both of vocaloid and in general (Bug). This song is amazing, it and Self Proclaimed Angel are some my favorite english vocaloid/synth v songs
@beaniesintheclouds
Why be mentally ill when you can dance and rap your problems away? 🔥💃🕺🔥 I loved everything about this! The song, the art, the video… I can tell why this is your favorite! It hits me in so, so hard in so, so many places. I feel this song so hard. Every line. I’m still suicidal but my positivity demands I dance it all away. I feel like I’ll be better off dead but my sunshine personality makes sure that stays down. I know if I die they’ll all say they cared from the start. Which they did. But not like that. Thank you for producing this. I legit felt so much and if I weren’t in school I might’ve cried. The hidden messages all cry out to me and tell me I’m not alone. I’m not. You’re not. Thank you for this masterpiece. 💚
@CraftingGummi
I hate how VIOLENTLY catchy this is. I haven’t been able to stop listening to this story, and as a writer, it’s already embedded itself into two stories I’m writing since it totally fits the main characters. 11/10 song, how dare you make this play in my head all day every day.
@FRUITCANOPY
This would taste like sour apple gummys and nuclear waste (compliment)
@Kuraiinu
LEGENDARY YOU ARE, TRULY
