1) Burden is a Oi!/Hardcore/Punk band from Boston, Massachusetts. Led by Andy Fletcher of The Relivers.
2) Burden is a finnish thrash metal metal band. It was founded in autumn 2008. Sami (bass guitar/vocals) and Henkka (rhythm guitar) phoned Matias (drums) so they could form a band. Later Henkka asked Otto (lead guitar) to join the band, and he did. After they had composed some songs of their own, they practiced hard and went to the studio. A week later they released their first demo called ''Burden''. Burden got a new drummer called Tuomas during the autumn 2009. Burden released a new EP titled Thrash Invasion in the end of May.
3) Burden is a german sludge metal band, slow and heavy riffs and sharp grungy vocals are their trademarks. After an 2 track 7" vinyl release throughout Ván Records / Soulfood Music called "Man Of No Account" they are currently touring Europe and working on their full lenght debut album.

4) Formed in the spring of 1997, by founding members Jason Kolins(vocals), Sean Spear & Mike Orpen(guitars) and Mark Thomson(bass), to put together a fast, heavy, outspoken Straight Edge Hardcore band, with a personal, sincere and positive message. Although Burden started at a time when the Hardcore scene in Vancouver was all but dead, they (along with Dissent and Reserve 34), kept the small, but dedicated scene alive for years, continually building up and strengthening the foundation, for what the now thriving Vancouver scene, is built upon today. Playing locally constantly, and throughout the NorthWest and abroad, to establish their name, Burden was the first Straight Edge band from Vancouver, to make a mark outside of their hometown. In the seven years Burden was a band, they toured throughout Western Canada, did three Western USA tours, and two European tours, sharing the stage with many great bands like Trial, Strain, Bane, Ten Yard Fight, Fastbreak, Buried Alive, Reach The Sky, Built To Last, Commited, Brothers Keeper, One King Down, Carry On, Hoods, Shutdown, Throwdown, Eighteen Visions, Embrace Today, Himsa, Spirit 84, Poison The Well, Purification, Between Us, Unconquered, Caliban, Maximum Penalty, Built To Last, Countervail, Liar, Bleed Into One, Teamkiller. Black Friday '29, Downslide, Dead Scene Stars, Congress etc... Aside from appearing on numerous compilations world wide, the band had five releases, the "Chosen Path" demo tape in '97, the "Strength Of Conviction" CD and 7" in 1999, the "Vancouver Meets Kentucky" split CD with Automatic, as well as the bands only full length "If You Don't Stand For Something, You'll Fall For Anything" (12"/CD), which was released in 2001 on Germany's Dead Serious Recordings in Europe and Spawner Records in Canada. Burdens final release was the five song 7"/CDEP "With Every Step Forward", again on Dead Serious Recordings, which corresponded with Burden's final European tour in September 2003. Burdens final show took place in the bands hometown of Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday, March 13, 2004, with Go It Alone, Dead Sure, Dead In Hollywood and In Stride. The members of Burden have went onto other projects. Adam and Dave Mitchell and Jason Kehoe, played in BLUE MONDAY full time, along with fellow ex-Burden bassist Kyle Deville. Sean Spear played guitar in ICE COLD , which also featured original Burden bassist Mark Thomson, as well as playing in a rock band called COBRA QUEEN. Other ex-mambers have gone onto some awesome bands as well. Lucas Mcfadden went onto play drums for CARRY ON and GO IT ALONE, and Aram Arslanian, who filled in on guitar for numerous shows for Burden, played in Seattle's CHAMPION and BETRAYED. Due to the fact that some members were well into their late twenties and early thirties, doubled with wives, kids, school, careers and a revolving door of members, and though they hit the road as much as possible, Burden was never able to tour constantly, as much as other bands, thus never really getting the chance to make nearly as big of an impact, outside of the Northwest and Europe. Though it's been over five years, since their final show, the Burden legacy lives on through the music, the words and the message, which, unlike many bands after their demise, their conviction still holds proud, and strong today...

5) Burden is a 3-piece DIY crossover band formed late 2008 in New Brunswick, NJ, combining elements of hardcore punk d-beat, old death metal, and thrash. They utilize extremely down-tuned instruments and play at ear-piercing volumes. Burden (NJ) has been self-releasing EP's and demos periodically every few months since their first demo "Shadows Over New Brunswick" released January 09; some of the releases include Speedcrush, Atomic Purple, The First Seven Months (comp), and The Hits. This band is unconcerned with profit or spreading their name past word of mouth, as a result, all distribution of their material is somewhat limited.
6) Burden is an ever changing lineup with two main members: Cal Beaney and Simon Doling (of Terminal Cheesecake). They create drone-based music in EAI, folk, metal and noise. To listen see burdendrone.bandcamp.com

LOST SOUL
Burden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look
Lately I’ve been, losing myself,
Abusing myself,
Like if this life doesn’t kill me,
Than I’ll do it myself,
And if you shut the world out,
Consumed daily, this will ruin my health,
And I don’t need no one else,
Only I can make me better,
Too many cold cloudy days,
Man I hate this weather,
I don’t want to do these things,
But I’m a go getter,
And I been goin through so much while tryna keep it together,
Don’t think I need the pressure,
But pressure make diamonds,
I lost my soul on this road,
And Don’t know where to find it,
Focused on the wrong mission,
Feel like I been blinded,
I heard the fairy tale love stories that were timeless,
Betrayed by my own people I just never-mind it ain’t my first rodeo,
Really need the Holy Ghost,
Prayin no more homies overdose,
Ooh So tell me I ain’t killin myself
Killin myself
I just needed something that could numb the pain,
I spent a long time staring at reflections baby now I understand I need to change,
And it’s been a long ride on this road but I finally get to find myself,
Will I make it out this hole I fell in, only time will tell
There go your boy, you see him,
Look like ya boy got demons,
Look like your boy need to put the bottle down and quit drinking
Look like he bout to lose it all,
Man what hell he thinkin,
Like shiiit y’all remember when buddy was winnin?
Aye- but life is crazy though,
And everything be changing though,
People that I really fuck with dearly acting shady on me,
Whatcha do when one of your close homies make a statement on you,
Loyalty vacant on you,
You ever looked at somebody and then question their journey,
Just to realize that you’re judging them without havin a purpose,
Like your perfect,
I’ve been observant and I can’t vouch for you as a person
Things been so hard, I’m just tired of hurtin,
my depression gets the best of me I try to make it numb,
I know I’m doing wrong, but I just lie, and I play dumb,
It hurts me deep inside I still got people in the slums,
The people I call friends I havent spoke to in months,
Ooh So tell me I ain’t killin myself
Killin myself
I just needed something that could numb the pain,
I spent a long time staring at reflections baby now I understand I need to change,
And it’s been a long ride on this road but I finally get to find myself,
Will I make it out this hole I fell in, only time will tell
Ooohh, fly away
The lyrics to Burden's song "Lost Soul" depict a deep sense of inner struggle and self-destructive behavior. The opening lines express a feeling of losing oneself and abusing oneself, symbolizing a lack of control over one's life. The idea of self-harm is highlighted with the notion that if life doesn't kill them, they will do it themselves. The individual acknowledges the need for help but also the difficulty in finding it, ultimately leading to a decline in their health.
The lyrics also touch upon the concept of feeling trapped and overwhelmed by negative circumstances. The singer expresses disdain for their current situation, describing the "cold, cloudy days" and the pressure they feel to keep going despite the hardships. This pressure is compared to the process of creating diamonds under intense pressure. However, the individual laments that they have lost their soul on this journey and are unsure of how to regain it.
The song also delves into themes of betrayal, loneliness, and addiction. The singer reflects on being betrayed by their own people and the impact it has had on them. They also admit to relying on substances or vices to numb the pain, acknowledging the wrongness of their actions but choosing to ignore it. The lyrics reveal a sense of hopelessness and confusion, with the individual feeling disconnected from their friends and distant from their own purpose.
Despite the bleakness portrayed, there is a glimmer of potential change and redemption in the lyrics. The individual realizes the need for self-improvement and acknowledges the need to break free from their destructive cycle. They express a willingness to change and find themselves again, though uncertainty remains as to whether they can escape the metaphorical hole they have fallen into. The final line, "fly away," evokes a sense of longing for freedom and escape from their current struggles.
