Disconnected

5 Seconds Of Summer · She Looks So Perfect [EP]

Oh oh o-o-oh, oh oh o-oh



Life's a tangled web

Of cell phone calls and hashtag I-don't-knows

And you you're so caught up

In all the blinking lights and dial tones

I admit I'm a bit of a victim in the worldwide system too

But I've found my sweet escape when I'm alone with you



Tune out the static sound of the city that never sleeps

Here in the moment on the dark side of the screen



I like the summer rain

I like the sounds you make

We put the world away

We get so disconnected

You are my getaway

You are my favorite place

We put the world away

Yeah we're so disconnected



Oh oh o-o-oh, oh oh o-oh

We're so disconnected

Oh oh o-o-oh, oh oh o-oh



Hands around my waist

You're counting up the hills across the sheets

And I'm a falling star

A glimmer lighting up these cotton streets

I admit I'm a bit of a fool for playing by the rules

But I've found my sweet escape when I'm alone with you



Tune out the static sound of the city that never sleeps

Here in the moment on the dark side of the screen



I like the summer rain

I like the sounds you make

We put the world away

We get so disconnected

You are my getaway

You are my favourite place

We put the world away

Yeah we're so disconnected



Turn off the radio

Those late night TV shows

Hang up the telephone

And just be here with me



Turn off the radio

Those late night TV shows

Hang up the telephone

And just be here with me



I like the summer rain

I like the sounds you make

We put the world away

We get so disconnected

You are my getaway

You are my favourite place

We put the world away

Yeah we're so disconnected



I like the summer rain

I like the sounds you make

We put the world away

We get so disconnected

You are my getaway

You are my favourite place

We put the world away

Yeah we're so disconnected



Oh oh o-o-oh, oh oh o-oh

We're so disconnected

Oh oh o-o-oh, oh oh o-oh

Disconnected

Released on the 2014 EP She Looks So Perfect, "Disconnected" by 5 Seconds Of Summer captures the band's signature blend of pop-punk energy and melodic hooks. The track features the group's characteristic vocal interplay between lead singer Calum Hood and backing vocalist Michael Pollard, delivering an anthem about the emotional strain of modern relationships. As a staple of their mid-2010s discography, the song exemplifies the Australian quartet's ability to fuse raw, guitar-driven instrumentation with polished pop production. It remains a defining track from their early catalog, resonating with fans who appreciate its themes of isolation and the difficulty of staying connected in a digital age.
