Burning Out
Embracing the Flames: A Journey Through Struggle and Change
Lyrics
I don’t want to ruin the party so I say that I’m fine,
I am pretending to be fine at the party to avoid spoiling the mood.
But I’m obsessing over how I lost so much time,
I'm preoccupied with thoughts about the time I've lost.
And I’m terrified of a life without meaning,
I fear a life lacking purpose.
But I’m too good at pushing down what I’m feeling.
I'm skilled at suppressing my emotions.
No time for stressing over broken bones,
No time to worry about physical injuries.
Work from home, I wish I could catch a break,
I wish for a respite from the demands of working at home.
Before I break.
Expressing the urgency of needing a break before reaching a breaking point.
Things change but I just don’t believe it,
I doubt that things can truly change.
It’s like a movie plays but I’ve already seen it.
Life feels repetitive like watching a familiar movie.
Talk myself down, try to chill out,
Attempting self-talk to calm down, but still facing burnout.
I’m still burning out,
Emphasizing the ongoing experience of burning out.
I’m burning out.
Reiteration of the feeling of burning out.
Ask me how I am and all I can say is tired,
When asked about my state, all I can express is exhaustion.
‘Cause I’m obsessed over how the whole world’s on fire,
Obsession with the global issues and chaos.
And I’m terrified of a life without meaning,
Reiteration of the fear of a purposeless life.
But I’m too good at pushing down what I’m feeling.
Continued ability to suppress genuine emotions.
No time for stressing over broken bones,
Reiterating the lack of time to worry about physical harm.
Work from home, I wish I could catch a break,
Desire for a break from the pressures of working at home.
Before I break.
Highlighting the need for a break before reaching a breaking point.
Things change but I just don’t believe it,
Continued skepticism about genuine change.
It’s like a movie plays but I’ve already seen it.
Life feels like a repeated, unchanging movie.
Talk myself down, try to chill out,
Trying to talk oneself down and relax, but burnout persists.
I’m still burning out,
Reiteration of the ongoing experience of burning out.
I’m burning out.
Repeated expression of the feeling of burning out.
What’s the point in even fighting the words coming out my mouth?
Questioning the purpose of resisting the words that escape me.
I know that
Acknowledging that the current state is temporary.
it won’t last forever but I’m still burning out.
Despite the temporary nature, the experience of burning out persists.
Things change but I just don’t believe it,
Continued doubt about meaningful change.
It’s like a movie plays but I’ve already seen it.
Life's events seem predictable, like a recurring movie.
Talk myself down, try to chill out,
Attempting self-talk to calm down, but burnout remains.
I’m still burning out,
Reiteration of the ongoing experience of burning out.
I’m burning out.
Repeated expression of the feeling of burning out.
I’m burning out
Final affirmation of the persistent feeling of burning out.
