conforming on a monday
too often and too cold
but you aren't even listening
because you are just
too old to feel an earthquake
too cool to even care
but you aren't even listening
so why should I?
you are a natural disaster
and I've wanted you too much
and now I'm gonna lose
I've wanted you too much
and now I've gotta choose
you're the cause of all this
and I'm sick of trying to please you
yeah
and you're gonna feel my emotions coming
yeah because you're the world
like a broken damn you're empty
and all that's left are the sticks and stones
that were built by other people
and it really shows
and you aren't even listening
cause you are just
too old to feel an earthquake
too cool to even care
but you aren't even listening
so why should I?
you are a natural disaster
and I've wanted you too much
and now I'm gonna lose
I've wanted you too much
and now I've gotta choose

yeah

Why would he want God too much?
This girl's feelings are all messed up, she has a boyfriend, but she doesn't love him, but stays with him because that's what you 'should'.
She loves another man, the man who sings this song. This guy, has been very nice to her, always been trying to please her, but now he realizes she's going to stick with her boyfriend, so he's pissed.
He's bashing her through the entire song, and he claims that he doesn't care about her, because she doesn't care about him. He claims that she's built on other people's good things - she's a wannabe. But since he really still cares for her, he sings "You're the world".
Relate to it, it's perfect.
I can`t help myself, i just like it :) but everytime he sings "you are a natural disaster" I feel like hes talkin to me..... ssss
its a great song. quite self explanitary really though. someone who he really cares about causing him a tad of trouble
reminds me of another song of theirs cant put my finger on it great lyrics
it's just like, adoring sumone and in a relationship but that sumone aren't serious with this poor person... and this poor person makes this song for that sumone. and sumone blablablabla......
well love this aswell as plug in baby. my first single.. frikkin amazing togethor.
its about God. hints: "too old to feel an earthquake, too cool to even care. but you aren't even listening, so why should I?" these deal with Matt's disbelief and near anger in how he should be expected to listen to a God who doesnt seem to hear any of his prayers or his cries.
"like a broken dam your empty, and all thats left are the sticks and the stones that were built by other people" this is in reference to what society has made God into. To him, he must seem broken and empty. society has made God out to be glorious, but he just doesnt see it, he sees everyone elses delusions about HIM.
He could very well be talking about the God that most people understand but Bellamy, based on his other songs, isn't going to start bashing God.

Yeah, I'd agree with theoracle, he's using words that could relate to him singing about god, but it's directed towards a person.
