Burnout
Embracing Chaos: A Burnout's Journey to Contentment
Lyrics
Woke up today and caught in last night's smoke
Reflecting on the aftermath of the previous night's activities and the residual impact of smoke.
I hung my wet and stinky kilt to dry
Hanging a wet and smelly kilt to dry, possibly indicating a carefree or unconventional lifestyle.
There's not a lot of room in here my eviction's in the works I fear
Expressing a cramped living situation with an impending eviction.
But still I hold my finger in the pie
Despite challenges, the person remains actively involved or invested in a situation.
And so I open wide the door to find the day
Opening up to a new day, possibly with a positive outlook.
That son of a bitch so bright she made me blind
The brightness of the day is overwhelming, momentarily blinding the person.
But slowly I adjust to see a paradise turn grey
Gradually adjusting to reality, realizing that what seemed like paradise is turning bleak.
Full of those that left their dreams behind
Observing a world where people have abandoned their dreams.
The corporate girl, the company guy bent outta shape with strain
Describing individuals consumed by corporate life, stressed and distorted.
300 days a year to earna dime
Highlighting the toll of working excessively (300 days a year) for minimal financial gain.
They get a heart attack a-walkin' or a stroke on the phone a-talkin'
Emphasizing the health risks associated with a demanding lifestyle, such as heart attacks and strokes.
Paid in paltry cash a trade for time
Receiving meager compensation for the sacrifice of time.
I'm just a burnout! I've got no common sense
Self-identifying as a burnout with a lack of common sense.
I've spent my rent on a binge on Wednesday night
Spending rent money recklessly on a binge on Wednesday night.
Thursday stayed in bed till 5, then borrowed cash to stay alive
Describing a cycle of unhealthy behavior, staying in bed till 5 on Thursday and borrowing money to survive.
Then Friday start the weekend feeling right
Starting the weekend on Friday with the intention of feeling good.
I know you all have scrutinized my failing flailing life
Acknowledging public scrutiny of the person's chaotic life.
A part of me just wishes I could care
Feeling a wish to care about the judgment but struggling to do so.
But honestly my own decree is simply to live happily!
Declaring a personal commitment to live happily despite external opinions.
And die with all my memories left to share!
Expressing a desire to die with memories rather than regrets.
I'm just a burnout! I've got no common sense
Reiterating the burnout status and lack of common sense.
I've spent my rent on a binge on Wednesday night
Repeating the pattern of spending rent on a Wednesday night binge.
Thursday stayed in bed till 5, then borrowed cash to stay alive
Continuing the cycle of unhealthy behavior on Thursday.
Then Friday start the weekend feeling right
Approaching the weekend with the goal of feeling good.
I'm just a burnout, but got not one lament..
Acknowledging the burnout status without any regrets.
Cause I only ever wanted to be content!
Expressing contentment as the primary life goal.
