Lagu milik band As I Lay Dying yang berjudul “Burden” ini adalah lagu pertama yang rilis sejak dirilisnya lagu “Shaped By Fire” pada tahun 2019 lalu. Lagu ini rilis sebagai comeback karirnya pada 22 Mei 2024 lalu. Lagu yang penuh lautan emosi kompleks ini dibawakan dengan melodi yang berat, kuat dan penuh penekanan oleh As I Lay Dying.
Burden menceritakan tentang kisah seseorang yang terjebak, dan dihantuoi oleh bayang-bayang rasa bersalah masa lalu. Menyampaikan tentang rasa putus asa, penyesalan, dan secercah harapan yang mungkin akan tampak saat kita benar-benar bisa melepaskan beban itu. Lagu ini bak karya seni yang tak terlupakan dengan lirik yang penuh makna.

Release this burden
Burden
I'm far from perfect
But what I gave you was a gift
Expecting so little
I never cared if you came or left
Moving on
No one will ever live in our shoes and
No one will ever know the full truth so
I choose to let the music itself
Speak volumes about you
Nothing but deadweight
Seeing the world all expenses paid
And now I've carried the weight
I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listened as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade
So caught in the past
A legacy you hardly built
While here in reality
I sadly witnessed your intellect wilt
You hardly wrote a note
Like a well-dressed ghost
That learned to feed off us
As a virus to a host

And now I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listened as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade
Fade away
Fade away
I've had this millstone around my neck (fade away)
Long enough (fade away)
Burden, deadweight, burden
It's become clear that you are just deadweight (deadweight)
That's been released to sink
Release
And now I've carried the weight
I've carried the weight
Of your burden long enough
And I listened as you fabricate
Till the truth just fades away
But it's you that starts to fade
It's become clear that you are just deadweight
That's been released to sink
Release
Burden, deadweight, burden
