Disconnect Me
The Agonist Lyrics

You! Pull me out and plug me in
The singer is being inserted into a system without their consent.

Light the brain start me up
The singer is being activated and engaging with the system's logic.

Automatic we're bound
Once activated, the singer is at the mercy of the automated system they have been inserted into.

We wind up like clocks
The artist is being set into a cyclical pattern of behavior that is not under their control.

Assimilation of perfection
The artist is being subjected to a system that values order and efficiency over individuality and expression.

My flesh and bone exists no more
The singer feels like they have been stripped of their corporeal being and have become a mere collection of data and programming.

Viral program in me
The singer is being infected with a program or code that is working against their best interests.

Am I just your creation?
The artist questions whether their agency matters in this system or if they are merely a tool for someone else's purposes.

Terminate this operation
The artist is fighting against the system and wants to break free from it.

Taking back the chance to feel alive (away from painful sedation)
The artist wants to reclaim their sense of self and stop being numbed by the dull routine of the system.

Disconnect me from the dream You infused with reality
The singer is asking to be removed from the system they have been put into.

Cut the cord that defines you
The artist is asking to be disentangled from the system and those who control it.

Memories are fading
The singer realizes that the longer they are in the system, the more they are losing touch with their past and sense of self.

My life's disintegrating
The longer they stay in the system, the more the singer feels like they are being erased or deconstructed.

Initiate the procedure to transform my body
The singer is asking to be transformed to escape the system they are in.

Into a greater form to serve your gain
The artist is asking for a transformation that will aid them in defeating those who control the system and subverting their goals.

Access the brain to eliminate
The artist wants to take control of the system and use its knowledge to dismantle it from within.

The source that constrains us to be humane
The singer wants to break free from the system's constraints that limit their freedom and force them to behave in predetermined ways.

Disconnect us from your dream
The singer wants to unite with others who have been trapped in the system and break free together.

Bleeding out the circuitry
The artist is willing to take extreme measures to dismantle the system and wants to cause it significant harm.

You've got to cut the cord cut the cord and wake up!
The artist is urging those who are trapped in the system to wake up and take action to break free from it.
