Disengage

Kieran Rhodes' song 'Disengage' delves into the emotional turmoil of dealing with a breakup and the struggle to move on. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the inevitable departure of a loved one, emphasizing the helplessness and pain that accompany such a loss. The opening lines, 'Soon she'll be gone / She'll pack up shop and run along,' set the stage for the heartache that follows. The metaphor of a 'real high hurdle' that one must 'hop' underscores the difficulty of overcoming this emotional obstacle.

As the song progresses, Rhodes explores the theme of acceptance and the harsh reality that some things cannot be undone. The lines 'And the worst part is, you can't undo it / And it's too big to swallow, so you've gotta chew it' highlight the necessity of facing and processing the pain rather than avoiding it. The repeated plea for help, 'Someone's gotta help me,' reflects the desperation and vulnerability felt during such a challenging time.

The chorus, 'Disengage / Get out of range / We weren't made to change,' suggests a need to distance oneself from the source of pain and accept that change is a natural part of life. The song also touches on the internal battle of the mind, with lines like 'Your head is a tiger, you've gotta tame her' and 'This is all inside your head / Your life is fine, your love ain't dead.' These lyrics convey the struggle to control one's thoughts and emotions, ultimately recognizing that life is a continuous journey of learning and self-improvement.

In 'Disengage,' Kieran Rhodes masterfully captures the essence of heartbreak and the arduous process of healing. The song's poignant lyrics and relatable themes resonate with anyone who has experienced the pain of letting go and the hope for eventual peace and growth.
