Lagu "Burnout" oleh Green Day mengisahkan perasaan apatis dan kejenuhan sang narator. Narator menyatakan bahwa dia tidak lagi peduli dan merasa jenuh hidup. Dia menggambarkan dirinya dengan kamar yang dipenuhi asap rokok dan gaya rambut yang berantakan, serta kaki yang terseret saat berjalan di jalanan pada malam hari. Narator diliputi perasaan tidak berkembang dan hanya kelelahan secara mental dan emosional.
Burnout Lyrics
Green Day
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 shoot town lights
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the DEAD
A pathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I DON'T MIND
I've lived inside this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
heck,who needs them anyway
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the DEAD
[Repeat many times]
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 shoot town lights
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the DEAD
A pathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I DON'T MIND
I've lived inside this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
heck,who needs them anyway
I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line
to walk amongst the DEAD
[Repeat many times]
