Disconnected
Gelgia Caduff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the wind
Slowly fall to silence
Now they finally end
Strings for a puppet
Disconnect at last
Seaking as I go
Walking over dunes
The hour glass runs dry
Childhood has past
It's time to say goodbye
Now I must find my way
Each step to enlightenment...
As the shadows grow long
The desert eyes are tame
Steady is their search
To find me once again
Now I must find my way
Each step to enlightenment
To be compassionate
Every step leads me
To an unknown town
But I don't fear
The final showdown
I trust in my conviction
In darkness never blind
I follow my visions
And never look behind
Now I must find my way
Each step to enlightenment
To be compassionate
Yes and I gonna find my way
The song "Disconnected" by Gelgia Caduff is an introspective piece that speaks of transformation, self-discovery, and resilience. The first stanza sets the stage with the imagery of whispers on the wind and their eventual silence, which is a metaphor for the end of a chapter or a transformation. The use of puppet strings in the second line symbolizes the loss of control or being controlled by external forces. However, the disconnection from the strings is a promising and liberating call to begin anew. The lines "Speaking as I go, I learn from the past" imply growth and self-awareness, suggesting that the singer is not just moving on but is also learning from past experiences.
In the second stanza, the imagery shifts from whispers on the wind to walking over dunes that mark the passage of time. The use of the hourglass in this stanza signifies the passing of time and the realization that childhood is over. The line "It's time to say goodbye" signals a goodbye to a previous phase in life, and the singer is embarked on a new journey of self-discovery. The refrain, "now I must find my way, each step to enlightenment, to be compassionate," highlights the self-reflective and transformative nature of the journey.
The final stanza speaks of hope and the unwavering resolve of the singer. The line "Every step leads me to an unknown town, but I don't fear the final showdown" shows that despite the uncertainties inherent in the journey, the singer remains resolute and unafraid. The lines "I trust in my conviction, in darkness never blind, I follow my visions and never look behind" convey the message of determination and staying true to oneself, even in the face of adversity. The refrain, "now I must find my way, each step to enlightenment, to be compassionate, yes, and I gonna find my way," is repeated with increasing emotional intensity, amplifying the spirit of hope and determination.
