Disconnect
Digital Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is anybody receiving this transmission?
Can anybody hear this?
Can anybody hear me?
Anyone?
Anybody hear me?
Is anybody out there?
There must be a way
To cut the cord
I'm not ungrateful
I just need more
Than the simple
Life I was given
I'm searching for something
(To believe in)
Disconnect me
From this awful dream
This world is not designed for me
Disconnect me
Disconnect me
And now is the time
To disengage
To break away
And escape from the cage
That I live in
The cell
That contains me
Its holding me hostage
And
(You can't save me)
Disconnect me
From this awful dream
This world
Is not designed for me
I reject this reality
I reject this reality
I reject this reality
Its not what I wanted
I'd give it all away
I'm willing to give up
Everything it's true
I've become
Numb to it all
Careless to the world
Just waiting for the fall
Disconnect Me
Disconnect me
Disconnect me
From this awful dream
This world
Is not designed for me
I reject this reality
(Disconnect me from this awful dream)
I reject this reality
(This world Is not designed for me)
I reject this reality
I'm rejecting everything
In this pathetic life I live
Disconnect me from this
Life I live
That I can't live without
Disconnect me
The lyrics of Disconnect by Digital Summer express a sense of detachment and frustration with the world that we live in. The singer is seeking a way to disconnect from the reality that they perceive as limiting and unfulfilling. The repetition of the lines "Can anybody hear me?" and "Is anybody out there?" convey a sense of isolation and a desire for connection.
The verse "There must be a way, to cut the cord. I’m not ungrateful, I just need more than the simple life I was given. I’m searching for something” implies a desire for change and growth. The singer wants to liberate themselves from the constraints of their current life and explore new possibilities. The chorus "Disconnect me, from this awful dream. This world is not designed for me" further emphasises this desire for escape, and a rejection of the current reality.
The lines "I've become numb to it all, careless to the world, just waiting for the fall" suggest a feeling of hopelessness and resignation. The singer feels disconnected from their emotions and the world around them. The repeated phrase "Disconnect me" serves as a plea for relief from this state of mind.
Overall, the lyrics of Disconnect express a yearning for meaning and purpose, and a desire to disconnect from a reality that the singer perceives as unfulfilling and even oppressive.

There must be a way
I refuse to believe that there isn't a solution to my problems
To cut the cord
To detach myself from the struggles that hold me back
I'm not ungrateful
I appreciate what I have, but I know there is something more I need
I just need more
I require something beyond what I'm currently experiencing
Than the simple
My life feels too ordinary for me to be content
Life I was given
I didn't choose this life, but I'm stuck in it
I'm searching for something
There is a piece of me missing that I must find
To believe in
I need to find something to give my life meaning and purpose
Disconnect me
I want to sever all ties with my current reality
From this awful dream
My current situation feels like a nightmare from which I can't escape
This world is not designed for me
I feel like I don't belong in this world and I want out
And now is the time
I can't keep waiting, it's time to take action
To disengage
To separate myself from what keeps me down
To break away
To free myself from the shackles of my current reality
And escape from the cage
I am trapped and I need to break free
That I live in
My life feels like a prison that I can't escape
The cell
I am trapped and I need to get out
That contains me
I feel suffocated by my current reality
Its holding me hostage
I feel like I'm being held captive by my own life
You can't save me
I know that no one can help me escape from my own struggles
I reject this reality
I refuse to accept the life that I am living
I'm rejecting everything
I want to start anew and eliminate everything that held me back before
In this pathetic life I live
I feel like my life is meaningless and there is no point in living it
Disconnect me from this
I need to get out of this cycle of pain and suffering
Life I live
My life feels like an endless cycle of misery
That I can't live without
I need to disconnect from the struggles that hold me back, even if it means leaving my old life behind
Disconnect me
I need to break free from everything holding me back.
