Disconnected (Queensrÿche song)

Disconnected is a song by the American progressive metal band Queensrÿche, featured on their 1994 album, Promised Land. It is the second track on the album.

The song is known for its atmospheric and somewhat melancholic tone, deviating slightly from the more straightforward metal sound often associated with the band. It features a prominent use of synthesizers and electronic elements, contributing to its distinctive sonic texture.

Lyrically, "Disconnected" explores themes of alienation, isolation, and the feeling of being detached from society and oneself. It touches on the struggles of communication and the increasing difficulty of forming genuine connections in a modern, technology-driven world. Geoff Tate's vocal delivery emphasizes the emotional weight of the lyrics, conveying a sense of vulnerability and frustration.

While not typically considered one of Queensrÿche's biggest hits, "Disconnected" remains a notable track within their discography, showcasing the band's willingness to experiment with different sounds and explore complex thematic concepts within their music. It is often praised by fans for its introspective lyrics and atmospheric musical arrangement.
