Burnout Eyess
oOoOO Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Live through the daze all the time
Trying and tryna make you mine
Oh... it's buried in the sand, chase arrives
Those burnout eyes...
Oohh... those burnout eyes
(Ohh... it's flowing up on me through my eyes?)
Ohhhh... those burnout eyes
Ohh... those burnout eyes

I wanna stay just like this
I wanna stay just like...
I wanna stay just like this
I wanna stay just like...
I wanna stay just like this
I wanna stay just like...

I wanna stay just like this
I wanna stay just like...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to oOoOO's song "Burnout Eyess" convey a sense of longing and a desire for closeness. The singer seems to be in a constant state of "daze," implying confusion or uncertainty, yet they are "trying and tryna make you mine." The use of repetition in the chorus, specifically the phrase "Those burnout eyes" reinforces this sense of overwhelming interest in the other person. The lyrics "it's buried in the sand, chase arrives" suggest that perhaps the singer is hesitant to express these feelings and the need for pursuit or a chase to solidify the relationship. The final four lines of the song repeat the desire to remain in the current state of wanting and closeness, further highlighting the singer's vulnerability

Overall, the song seems to be about the complexities of one's emotions and the desire for a deep connection with another. It explores themes of uncertainty, vulnerability, and longing, all within the context of a potential romantic relationship.
