The best possible meanings of the euphemism "cut the cord" are "stop depending on parents" and "leave the farm".

In the beginning it establishes that Levi is afraid of leaving the farm, but the "but" establishes an opposite, that he was going to have to because the coexistence with his parents was no longer an option.
