We're suffering the calibre
We're suffering the calibre
I drag me in and out,
I'm my own contraband
I'm catering the interests,
Of a market I strongly resent
How crazy is that?
How crazy is that can you feel that
I mess around, I fuck it up, somehow
I see us all getting administered
I mess around, I fuck it up, somehow I see
We're suffering,
We're suffering the calibre
If these shackles are routine,
Then prison is surrender
We're suffering the calibre.
If these shackles are routine,
Then prison is surrender
We're suffering the calibre
I drag me in and out,
I'm my own contraband
I'm wired to these relays,
That even I can't circumvent
How crazy is that?
How crazy is that can you feel that
I mess around, I fuck it up,
Somehow I see us all getting administered
I mess around, I fuck it up, somehow
I see we're suffering,
We're suffering the calibre
If these shackles are routine,
Then prison is surrender
We're suffering the calibre
If these shackles are routine, then prison is surrender
We're suffering the calibre
The calibre.
The calibre is well incorporated
The government is fully generated
Initiate the sequencer calibre
Calibre
We all get up tonight we're almost ready
I see we're suffering
We're all getting administered
We all get up tonight
We're almost ready
I see we're suffering
We're suffering the calibre




If these shackles are routine, then prison is surrender
We're suffering the calibre .

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of .calibre's eponymous song "Calibre" speak of the struggles of an individual who finds themselves catering to a market they resent and living with shackles that have become routine. The repeated phrase "We're suffering the calibre" is an expression of their frustrations with the societal pressures they face. The lyrics also delve into the idea of being one's own contraband and being wired to relays that even the singer cannot circumvent.


The song speaks to the idea of a system that has become so ingrained in society that deviating from it feels like surrendering to a prison. The government and the sequencer calibre are referenced, giving the impression of a dystopian society controlled by authoritarian forces. The phrase "If these shackles are routine, then prison is surrender" speaks to the idea that the singer feels trapped by societal norms, and that breaking free from those norms would be a rebellion against the status quo.
