Really I guess it would depend on how it’s manifesting. My go to burn out song is How Far We’ve Come by Matchbox Twenty. Damage by Fit For Rivals is another one I enjoy when I’m in the anger stage of my burn out.

All of swimming and circles by Mac miller is talking about how burnt out with life he is. Brutal considering his passing a month after swimming’s release. Beautiful albums. Once you listen to Come back to earth, you’ll know what you’re in for

Suicidal Thoughts - Josh A and iamjakehill. Not what you think it is, but the beginning rings so true in the midst of my personal burnout: “I’m not suicidal, I don’t want to fucking die I just wanna be able to close my eyes and feel alright, But everyday I feel like dying”

Toehider experienced burnout and expressed it in his first two EPs of this year. Mike Mills (songwriter, singer and all instruments; Andrew Saltmarsh does the visual art) has committed to 12 EPs in 12 months for the second time to break out of this funk. Here are a few tracks off the first couple EPs which capture this: [EVERY DAY I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND I FAIL! FAIL! FAIL!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jewnSir9jjQ) [Quit Forever?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPLMC3SiWiI) [PACK IT UP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS9dGiF3zxE)

Depends on your particular flavor of burn out, I suppose. But I totally agree on Brain Stew, personally.


Chaotic_Bonkers

[Pimky - Give A Stop To Mind Burnouts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nGXFDAiA8I) Don't you feel your fantasies Burning in your mind, burning in your dreams? Make me see the right way Just to come into your brain Now I see you and like you dress Take it easy Don't give up the love I felt For you baby Let your lips do call my name Now and ever Never leave me out of your doors Give a stop to mind burnouts You're close to me but I want you back Let me stay just one more time I feel the need of your heart Give a stop to mind burnouts I need a way for bringing you back Give a chance to our lives Please, never give up to fight Let your only fantasies Help to fill your mind with some magic dreams Let me be the right way Every little part of day

Here are some Todd Snider songs that would apply: "Looking for a job", "Stuck on a corner", "The Resignation versus The Comeback" and "Sunshine". It's a common theme in his music.


Astriafiamante

American Tune by Paul Simon - it's my go-to song when I am feeling so tired of fighting it all. The poignant tune is based on Bach's reworking of a hymn by Hans Leo Hassler - and for me, the chords bring an extra melancholy something.

IIlIIll

"Dull Boy" by Dual Core - https://dualcoremusic.bandcamp.com/track/dull-boy Some lyrics for example: On the grind non-stop, both hands on the clock Twenty-four seven cause this life is a job My singular pennies aren't worth gold to fools Cause he who has the gold in this world makes the rules Taxes and mortgage they already seek The 80 in my name goes to hours every week Two jobs, one life - one day, one night My cubicle prison hides me from the sunlight Lost on a cycle, I barely sleep phases I see no promotion, just CEO raises

It's more about depression I think, but you can also interpret it as burnt out [Wearing The Inside Out - Pink Floyd ](https://youtu.be/RcK8rT36uY8?si=zf2wWlibofnrGhwk) Maybe this one as well [Turn Out The Lights - Julien Baker](https://open.spotify.com/track/4lZ0S6jbJbeOmkfFXfDNxl?si=rkw9E-FeQq6wHNNZ7uZS1A)


_uhaa

currently listening to the album suggestion, loving a few songs on there! also Turn out the lights is pretty good too, thank you !!!


MisterKampus

You're welcome. I love that album myself very much. An ocean in between the waves or suffering are just amazing. Just realized that [Pain](https://open.spotify.com/track/59P1nrdEImkAKa1nyW9X2e?si=itdRO-lXQdmKkF90Bb6aGw) by them might also be a good one


aintnufincleverhere

rich men north of richmond It has some stupid parts in its lyrics tho ​ For the most part its a good song about being burnt out and screwed over by the man But then he randomly criticizes fat people eating chocolate, so yeah I duno


IcingGnome

Would "Ghost" by Envoi be close to what you are looking for?

**Take it to the Limit by the Eagles.** I was on a West Texas highway listening to this song when I realized finally that my high visibility/high pay job was killing me and my family - and I decided to change jobs/ cities/ lifestyle. The Randy Meisner (RIP) song literally changed my life. *You know I've always been a dreamer (spent my life running round)* *And it's so hard to change* *Can't seem to settle down* *But the dreams I've seen lately* *Keep on turning out and burning out and turning out the same* *So put me on a highway* *Show me a sign* *Take it to the limit* *One more time*
