Burnt Out
Chasing Shadows: Unveiling the Emotion Behind Tomas Christian's 'Burnt Out'
Lyrics
The road down the valley
The journey down the valley
Had a fire on the side
A fire occurred along the road
Rushed to the fire
Quickly approached the fire
And the red burned bright
The red flames burned intensely
I've been doin good keeping
I've been successful at staying occupied
Busy now cause I don't
Keeping busy to avoid feeling anything
Wanna feel a thang
Intention not to experience emotions
I don't wanna feel a thang
Repeated desire not to feel anything
I don't wanna feel a thang
-I don't wanna feel a thang
-But the whiskey ain't nothin
Whiskey is ineffective in numbing the pain since she left
Change since she left me
No change despite the passage of time
Been running circles around
Engaged in repetitive thoughts, running in circles
My mind didn't know
Unaware it would be the last encounter
It'd be the last time
The final moment was unforeseen
I've been lookin
Actively searching for reasons
For some reasons
Seeking explanations
To talk this out cause
To discuss the situation because
I don't wanna be the reason
Avoiding being the cause
This flame gets burnt out
Expressing concern about the flame burning out
This flame gets burnt out
-I know our fire needed sparks
Acknowledging the need for sparks in their relationship
For a while never made sense
For a while, the relationship lacked coherence
Had to live it up for a while
Had to live life without her for a period
So I've been keeping
Continuing to stay occupied
Busy now cause
Repeated intention not to feel anything
I don't wanna feel a thang
Continued desire to avoid feeling
I don't wanna feel a thang
-I don't wanna feel a thang
-But the whiskey ain't nothin
Whiskey remains ineffective
Change since she left me
No change since the departure
Been running circles around
Mentally trapped in repetitive thoughts
My mind didn't know
Unaware it would be the last time
It'd be the last time
Still actively seeking reasons
I've been lookin
Desire to talk it out and avoid being the cause
For some reasons
-To talk this out
-Cause I don't wanna
Expressing reluctance to be the reason
Be the reason
Avoiding being the cause of the flame burning out
This flame gets burnt out
Reiteration of concern about the flame burning out
This flame gets burnt out
-Don't let our flame burn out
Warning against letting their flame burn out
I don't wanna feel a thang
Continued desire not to feel anything
I don't wanna feel a thang
-But the whiskey ain't nothin
Whiskey remains ineffective
Change since she left me
No change since the departure
Been running circles around
Still trapped in repetitive thoughts
My mind didn't know
Unaware it would be the last time
It'd be the last time
Final realization that it would be the last time
