The opening lines of Antigama's "Disconnected" can be interpreted as a call to arms, imploring the listener to follow the singer and concentrate their efforts on a goal. The repeated use of the phrase "Follow Me" can also be interpreted as a mantra, a way of reinforcing the singer's authority and sense of purpose. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that something has gone wrong. The lines "Malfunction / Damage to the Core" suggest that the singer's plan has not gone as intended, possibly due to some unforeseen technological failure or other setback. This sense of failure is further emphasized by the lines "We've Lost Connection," which could refer to a failure of communication or a lack of access to the resources needed to carry out the plan. Overall, the song's lyrics paint a picture of a plan gone awry, with the singer struggling to overcome a fundamental setback and get back on track.

Wow are you always so friendly and chilled out? Its okay mate, I was an overly serious and moody 12 year old once too. Good times. Erm anyway, I was replying to someone who called antigama formulaic metal, no-one was talking to you so feel free to move along.

Thats not true. Some grind is definitley metal and some is more punk. There is more to grind than just blast-beats and b-beats. Listen to Brutal Truth or Pig Destroyer and tell me it aint metal. If u did it would be a lie. And of course, on the punk side,u have the likes of magrudergrind,ENT,etc. Grind obliterates the boundaries between genres, leaving artists free to be as metal or punk as they want. Or as avant garde,noise rock, crust etc. etc, as they want. GRIND IS FREEDOM!!!!!
