Disconnect
The Browning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You live in a fabricated world

(Disconnect)
When did reality end
And cyberspace become the world we live in?
Look up, look me in the eyes
You sheep, why are you so blind?
Fake friends, fake life
You live a lie

A whole generation disconnected
Minds infected, souls rejected
Everybody losing track of what respect is
Overly obsessed with image, no perspective
A whole room full of white screens and black souls
Like cattle staring down into a black hole
Watch 'em all take a selfie like a sad clone
Egos dance in the void of a chat room

I don't want your fucking friend request
I'd rather put this knife into your neck you fucking bitch (Ignore)
I don't want your fucking friend request
I'd rather put this knife into your neck you fucking bitch

This is a social disorder
You lost respect for humanity
Cloaked by a virtual world
You lost touch with reality
I fear for the future of mankind

Disconnect me from this world
Disconnect me from this world

(Disconnect)

So many follow you but you are the sheep
Nobody really cares when you speak
They look right past you, lost in the code
Empty attention will leave you cold

Fake friends, fake life
You live a lie





Disconnect me from this world
Disconnect me from this world

Overall Meaning

The Browning's song Disconnect is a critical commentary on the impact and influence of technology on our lives. The opening line "You live in a fabricated world" sets the tone for the rest of the song, which addresses the issue of how technology has resulted in a disconnection from reality and an addiction to the virtual world. The lyrics suggest that people have become so obsessed with social media and virtual interactions that they have forgotten how to engage with the real world, looking at their screens instead of making eye contact with people.


The song highlights how social media has led to a fundamental shift in the way people interact with each other. It suggests that many people are more interested in creating a false persona online than in building meaningful relationships in the real world. The lyrics speak about the loss of respect for humanity and the fear for the future of mankind, indicating that this social disorder has a deep impact on our lives and our society.


The chorus "Disconnect me from this world" expresses the singer's desire to break free from the virtual world and reconnect with the real world. The lyrics suggest that the only way to escape from this fabricated world is to disconnect from technology and reconnect with the world around us.

Crisis, Gears of War, and Mass Effect. All of them are awesome games and you guys put them into a song. Nice work.

Nobody ♡

Woosh

Turn In, Apex, Track Out

The Browning has never had a single bad album. They just keep putting out consistent good and heavy music. I hope they stay around til I'm an old and crusty life form, because I can only imagine how mature and refined their sound will become in a decade or so.
