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