Disconnected

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wifi went down no 4g stream or instant message
Feel like instant depression
like the world stopped spinning in seconds
Maybe I should take this a lesson that I can build brand new connections
Lately I been reading forbes
I wondered why all these zombie shows are so relevant and I figured out we replicating these walking hordes
Eyes glued to these cell phones like it's something new we ain't never seen
Apparently we all 20/20 when it comes to this and that's hands down
I just wanna enjoy the moment but they keep pulling they phones out
Don't forget that flash bro I just need that perfect lighting
Don't forget that flash bro I just need that perfect timing
I met up with some friends we had some plans a couple weeks ago
The plan was to spend these grands and spend these bands on drink and vegetables
I pull up to the spot I'm shaking hands you know me what doe
The waiter took our order and her aura was professional
Now mind you it's like 8 of us and all of us are waiting
This the perfect time for all of us to spark some conversation
But guess what we all in our phones nobody talking we all in the zone
I look up and we all attached to these handhelds
Surfing on social media like it's the biggest wave we done ever sailed
Instead of focusing on you and me we focused on these silly memes
The world is already beautiful can't edit that not on a screen
Take a deep breath
close both of ya eyes
what do you see
when you visualize
Your fellow man is reconnected
To the better things like peace and blessings
More dopamine from the sun setting
More life that's the real message
The song "Disconnected" by G.D. Luxxe highlights the phenomenon of feeling disconnected in a world where everyone is constantly glued to their phones and other electronic devices. The lyrics describe the feelings of instant depression that occur when someone's wifi goes down or they temporarily lose access to their phone's data network. The song also touches on the fact that people are so attached to their phones that they miss out on social connections, even when they are physically present with others.
The artist uses the metaphor of zombie shows to describe how people resemble walking hordes, aimlessly scrolling through social media as if they are mindless. He acknowledges that we all take pride in our 20/20 vision when it comes to our phones, but we often neglect the beauty of the real world around us. By the end of the song, the artist encourages the listener to disconnect from their devices and reconnect with nature and other people.
