Burn Out
Cinematic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't come around...
But when the money's gone...
They don't come around...
The lyrics of Cinematic Orchestra's song Burn Out reflect the idea of people's true intentions and relationships being exposed when financial resources run dry. The opening line "But when the money's gone" demonstrate the sudden change of people's behavior when one's wealth or resources have been depleted. People who were once loyal and attentive seem to disappear and fade away, making it clear that their presence and loyalty were primarily influenced by the convenience of the individual's financial situation. The second line "They don't come around" reinforces the previous line, further highlighting the disappointment and feelings of abandonment that follow when the people who were supposedly loyal suddenly vanish.

This song is captivating and hypnotic. Absolutely brings you into a trance. Jungle, nature, aboriginal— who knows.

after nearly 13 years I finally found this song again. I had it on repeat in Afghanistan and helped me mellow out so so many times.
