background
"only in my dreams I feel protected... this is reflected in all that I believe" - Jim

Given the composer credit for K Hunter, Disconnected probably dates back to the Our Secrets Are The Same sessions.

The song was one of the first demoed for Cry, starting off life as an idea on acoustic guitar called NRG. It was soon given its distinctive electro guise when the guitar was replaced by a bouncing arpeggio synth. Even though the tempo of this early demo was slightly slower than the final song, the unique melody was instantly recognisable.




lyrics
The lyrics have never been published: a transcription follows

Sometime I can see the world,
By staring through your dark and misty eyes.
I don't want to hear the words,
Or anything you know you can't deny.

Everytime I feel myself rejected,
Disconnected,
From everything that's real.
Everybody needs to feel respected,
Not disconnected.
Only in my dreams I feel protected,
This is reflected in all that I believe.
Everybody needs to feel respected,
Not disconnected.

I don't want to hear the sound,
Of your wide world when it comes crashing down.
I can only help you if you're sure,
You want to keep me hanging round.
I will only hear the sound,
Of your wide world when it comes crashing down.
I can only help you,
If you're sure you want to keep me hanging round.

Only in my dreams I feel protected,
This is reflected in all that I believe.
Everybody needs to feel respected,
Not disconnected.

Everytime I feel myself rejected,
Disconnected,
From everything that's real.
Everybody needs to feel respected.
Not disconnected.

Only in my dreams I feel protected,
This is reflected in all that I believe.
Everybody needs to feel respected,
Not disconnected.
