Disconnected
Minora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching the body go on
Disconnected
Mind withdrawn
I swallow the words that come
I could not handle the cold
When you had to go
But close to the end
I disconnected
All the colours faded away
Into different layers of grey
The night devoured the day
When you looked away
I could not handle the cold
When you had to go
My arms reached out for more
But now I'm disconnected
My heart trembles to unfold
I could not handle the cold
When you had to go
My arms reached out for more
But close to the end
I disconnected
The lyrics to "Disconnected" by Minora describe the feeling of being emotionally and physically removed from a relationship. The singer is starting anew in unfamiliar territory but feels disconnected from their surroundings, as if their mind is withdrawn. They find it difficult to verbalize their emotions, as they swallow the words that come.
The chorus reveals that the singer is struggling with the pain of their partner leaving. They couldn't handle the coldness that the separation brought, and as they reached out for more, they began to feel a disconnection. The colours of their world become muted, and their days are swallowed by the night as they deal with the pain of the breakup.
The lyrics suggest that the singer feels adrift and unsure of how to proceed in life. The final lines indicate a sense of vulnerability and a desire to be understood as their heart trembles to unfold. "Disconnected" is a relatable and honest song that captures the emotions of people who have gone through painful breakups.

Starting over in the unknown
Beginning anew in unfamiliar territory
Watching the body go on
Observing the physical world move forward
Disconnected
Being emotionally and mentally separated
Mind withdrawn
Retracting inwardly from one's thoughts
I swallow the words that come
Suppressing one's urge to speak out
I could not handle the cold
I was unable to deal with the harsh reality
When you had to go
When you departed from me
My arms reached out for more
I desired more of you and your presence
But close to the end
As the relationship drew to an end
All the colours faded away
The vibrancy and beauty of life disappeared
Into different layers of grey
Everything blended into monotony
The night devoured the day
The darkness of night engulfed the brightness of day
When you looked away
When you turned your attention elsewhere
Now I'm disconnected
Currently feeling detached and estranged
My heart trembles to unfold
My emotions are anxious to unravel
