Burnout Lyrics

I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and growing bored
In my smoked out boring room
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
To drive along these shit town lights

I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
To walk amongst the dead

Apathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I don't mind
I'll live inside this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them anyway

I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
To walk amongst the dead

I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
To walk amongst the dead
Dead

I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
To walk amongst the dead

I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
To walk amongst the dead
Dead

What is the Meaning of Burnout?

This track paints a vivid picture of disillusionment and apathy, typical feelings experienced during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The protagonist declares he doesn't care anymore, expressing his burnout with life and the monotony of his surroundings. He feels like he's not growing or evolving, just simply burning out like a candle nearing its end. The repeated line "I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead" may suggest conformity and loss of individuality, which further fuels his sense of ennui. It's a raw and honest portrayal of youthful frustration and the struggle to find meaning in an often mundane world.
