Sublime was truly a generational band, one in a million.

Much like only a few other

bands in history, they were truly their own thing and while they didn’t necessarily influence a
culture change or anything significant like that, they were still quite the sensation when they first
started and even after everything that had happened there’s no other band out there that is quite
like them. Of the many deep songs that they have, Burritos is something else to say the least.
Contrary to what the name suggests, the song is not about burritos and the feel of the song seems
convoluted at best, with most of the vocals getting drowned out by the band playing their
instruments which almost makes it seem like he’s trying to almost hide the emotions that are
being conveyed by the lyrics. The only lyric that really sticks out that you clearly hear
throughout the song is the “I don’t want to” throughout the song, which causes one to question
what the intention of this is. It feels as though he’s depicting his struggle with depression
throughout this song, him expressing how he doesn’t want to get up and do the things he loves
like playing the guitar or even walking his beloved dalmatian Louie. It doesn’t really depict a
love language in this song, it more so feels like a struggle and him somewhat voicing his struggle
with himself. As a matter of fact, there’s no love being shown at all. It’s a very pessimistic
viewpoint and very sad and gloomy sounding, it really shows the toll all the fame can have on
someone and puts into perspective the damage it can do to ones mental state even in the best of
people.
