I feel lost in my head I'm down with all my emptiness and sad I miss what I had I lost my ground and what I found instead Is this world disconnected ... like you and me still dare to think we could meet leave it all behind and flee but I don't want to run away.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Beatsteaks's song Disconnected depict the feeling of being lost in one's own thoughts and emotions, leading to a sense of emptiness and sadness. The singer feels disconnected from the world and the people around them, longing for something that they have lost. They question whether the world itself is disconnected, and whether they will ever find a way to connect with someone else. Despite this feeling of disconnection, the singer still holds onto hope that they can find a way to leave their troubles behind and move forward.

The lyrics capture a universal feeling of loneliness and disconnection, and the repetition of the word "disconnected" throughout the song emphasizes this theme. It also highlights the breakdown in communication between people in the modern world, as technology and digital communication make it easier to disconnect from others rather than connect. The singer wants to leave this behind and find a deeper connection with another person, but they also acknowledge that running away may not be the answer.

Overall, Disconnected is a poignant reflection on the complexities of human connection in the 21st century, and the difficulties of getting past barriers of loneliness and isolation.
