BURNT OUT Lyrics by Josh Levi
Question
Have you ever wanted to go far away?
Answer
Tryna find a way but I can’t escape
So many things I would love to change
But it’s a losing game
Every time I try, it ends the same
And now I’m getting burnt out
I wanna go now
I’m feeling left out
And sometimes I wish the world would slow down
Can’t hear my voice now
I’m about to zone out (Zone out)
Mm
I can’t be the only one that’s starting to feel jaded
And I’m tired of trippin’ on the shit I can’t control
I think I’m losin’ patience, and it’s hard for me to fake it
What is the point of waitin’? (Yeah)
So many things I would love to change
But it’s a losing game
Every time I try, it ends the same
And now I’m getting burnt out
I wanna go now
I’m feeling left out
And sometimes I wish the world would slow down
Can’t hear my voice now
I’m about to zone out
I’m about to zone out
I’m getting burnt out
I wanna go now
I’m feeling left out
And sometimes I wish the world would slow down
Can’t hear my voice now
I’m about to zone out (I’m about to zone out)
I’m about to zone out
Dear Lord, please give me strength
On how to understand this weird world
Show me the way, in Jesus’ name, amen
The Meaning of “BURNT OUT” by Josh Levi
Josh Levi just dropped “BURNT OUT” as track 12 on his new album HYDRAULIC, and honestly, it hits you right in the chest. It’s one of those songs that feels like it’s reading your mind after a long, exhausting week.
So many things I would love to change / But it’s a losing game
That line—it’s so simple, but it captures that heavy feeling of wanting to fix things and just… hitting a wall. You can hear the weariness in his voice, like he’s been fighting the same battles and they’re starting to wear him thin.
At its core, this song is about that moment when you’re just tired of trying to keep it all together. It’s not giving up, really—it’s more like admitting you’re human. And that quiet prayer at the end? It’s a raw, honest plea for a little grace when the world feels like too much.
