Outlands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do I feel so disconnected?
Mirror on the wall, tell me do you see it all?
Can you see why I'm so disconnected from it all?
Don't say that you feel the pain
What I see isn't what I know in my brain
Everything that I hate (We're not the same)
Jordan
I'm not what I used to be
Reminiscent ways, reminiscent pain
Is that what you want from me?
'Cause I'm not the same, no I'm not the same
James
Never felt such a gap between what I love and what I need
Feel so far from the one I see
No, I refuse to believe the man in the mirror
I refuse to believe
I refuse to believe
Jordan
I'm not what I used to be
Reminiscent ways, reminiscent pain
Is that what you want from me?
'Cause I'm not the same, no I'm not the same
I'm not what I used to be
(Reminiscent ways, reminiscent pain)
Is that what you want from me?
'Cause I'm not the same, no I'm not the same
I feel, I feel, I feel so far away
I feel, I feel, I feel so far away
James
I've been cast out and led away, leave it all, forget my name
I left it all in the glass and pain
I've been cast out and led away, leave it all, forget my name
Roaming and knowing the price I pay
(I'm not what I used to be)
Jordan
I'm not what I used to be
Reminiscent ways, reminiscent pain
Is that what you want from me?
'Cause I'm not the same, no I'm not the same
The song "Disconnected" by Outlands seems to be an emotional track about feeling lost and disconnected from oneself. James starts by asking why he feels disconnected, and wonders if the mirror can see why there is a gap between what he loves and what he needs. He is frustrated that others don't seem to understand his pain and how he feels. He refuses to believe the man in the mirror and feels he is not the same person he used to be. Jordan echoes James's sentiment, saying that he is no longer the person he used to be, and that the pain and memories of the past are holding him back from his true self. Both artists feel so far away from themselves, and it seems that they are on a journey to find their true selves once again.
The lyrics, while open to interpretation, seem to talk about the feelings of disconnection and disillusionment that many people experience at some point in their lives. It's a song that is relatable to anyone who has felt lost or disconnected from their true selves. The use of the mirror as a symbol is a clever way of showing how external factors can affect our internal selves, and how we often rely on external validation to feel whole.

If someone is this far in the album stream, they're fans for life guaranteed. Another absolutely sick song. I'm not sure if I'm just going crazy or if this is the best album I've heard in a long long time.
