Disconnect
Kitty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I plan to float
Tossing away
The antidote
Burn these memories
I want them dead
And if you threaten my serenity
Weightless, I think I'll just erase this
And think of something else
Stasis, I live in empty spaces
I built around myself
Weightless, my quarantine is painless
And that's why nothing heals
Stainless, I'm bored of pretty faces
So I'm becoming steel
Tranquil, I lie
In my repose
Blanketed by
A silent dose
Burn these memories
I want them dead
And if you threaten my serenity
I disconnect
Weightless, I think I'll just erase this
And think of something else
Stasis, I live in empty spaces
I built around myself
Weightless, my quarantine is painless
And that's why nothing heals
Stainless, I'm bored of pretty faces
So I'm becoming steel
Weightless, I think I'll just erase this
And think of something else
Stasis, I live in empty spaces
I built around myself
Weightless, my quarantine is painless
And that's why nothing heals
Stainless, I'm bored of pretty faces
So I'm becoming steel
The lyrics to Kitty's song Disconnect depict a sense of isolation and detachment. The repeated phrase "weightless" emphasizes a feeling of emptiness and a desire to escape from reality. The line "lost in a haze" suggests being disconnected from one's surroundings, while "stasis, I live in empty spaces I built around myself" reveals a self-imposed isolation. The use of the word "quarantine" in "Weightless, my quarantine is painless" may also allude to a personal isolation as well as the broader context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The chorus "burn these memories, I want them dead, and if you threaten my serenity I disconnect" shows a desire to forget painful experiences and retreat from anything that may cause emotional disturbance. The line "so I'm becoming steel" suggests that the singer is building emotional defenses, becoming immune to the pain and hurt that come with human relationships. The choice to become "stainless" shows a desire for emotional purity, but also a willingness to cut out those who may bring chaos into one's life.
Overall, the lyrics to Disconnect paint a picture of someone who has distanced themselves from others, both physically and emotionally. The repeated phrases and simple language add to the song's hypnotic and repetitive sound, emphasizing the monotony and repetition of the singer's life.
