Disconnect
After Midnight Project Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something has to change
We’re falling further down the drain tonight
Flashing lights on billboard signs trashy clubs and careless minds we’re alone
This filthy floor’s a lonely bed while traffics roaring in my head again
I disconnect in to a dream
In a life that would seem
Just to real and overseen

I don’t need another friend
(I’m trying with out you)
This could be our very last dance
(I breath you I feel you)
You stole my eyes at first glance
I don’t need another friend

Maybe we’re not as well put together as we thought
Oh well
I’m dancing in the pouring rain with a smile and a touch of pain
it’s Hell

I Disconnect I know tried
But no one else sees out
I’m caving in and I’m giving up
What else can I do?
I gave everything to you
The demons, the gods will have their way

I don’t need another friend
(I’m trying with out you)
This could be our very last dance
(I breath you I feel you)
You stole my eyes at first glance
I don’t need another friend

All I am is wrong
and All we had is gone

I don’t need another friend
(I’m dying with out you)
This could be our very last dance
(I breath you I feel you)

You stole my eyes at first glance
and I don’t need another friend

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in After Midnight Project's song Disconnect delve into the feeling of detachment that one experiences when things fall apart. The song talks about the jarring realization that things are not as great as they seem to be and that a turning point has been reached. The opening lines capture the essence of this with the lyrics, "Something has to change, we're falling further down the drain tonight." This sense of despair is compounded by the images of a "filthy floor" and "flashing lights on billboard signs" that replace the previous sense of joy and excitement.

The chorus of the song reinforces a sense of distance and loss, "I don't need another friend" showcases the singer's desire to distance themselves further from the situation. They are trying hard to disconnect from the situation and move on. Nonetheless, memories and the events that have already unfolded continue to linger in their mind. The line "I disconnect into a dream, in a life that would seem, just too real and overseen" shows that the singer's attempts to find solace in their dreams are not the answer.

In conclusion, the song Disconnect is an emotional admission of defeat when a relationship or life, in general, fails to match up to expectations. The lyrics of the song depict the overall sense of melancholy and disconnect that permeates the song.
