The natural disasters make it hard to mind.
Birthday cake, steak and wine.
The rough around the comfort make you bust a dime.
They want your heart to ache, and take up all your time.
The broken situations that leave no resort,
Must give way to play and sport.
Don't want to think about it dont know what to say.
So sorry that you're cross,
goodbye to you today.

We've got to cut the conversation keep it clean and dry.
And if they never finish then we wont ask why.
It's just a natural disaster that you've left behind.
Father cut some cake, for the steak and wine.
(Repeat)

Got a conversation,
no more emotions to show.
Got a conversation,
nobody has to know.
It's just a natural disaster that you've left behind.
Father cut some cake, for the steak and wine.

We've got to cut the conversation keep it clean and dry.
And if they never finish then we wont ask why.
It's just a natural disaster that you've left behind.
Father cut some cake, for the steak and wine.

Got a conversation,
no more emotions to show.
Got a conversation,
nobody has to know.
It's just a natural disaster that you've left behind.
Father cut some cake, for the steak and wine.

    I love this song as well...I LOVE THE BAND!!! THEY ARE FUCKING HOT!!!! Seems like this song is about a natural disaster that led to the loss of a family member...each family member has been through so many emotions ..all possible emotions that there's no more of them left to show.

    this song is about ignoring something that bothers you (the natural disaster). It could be a messed up relationship, bad grades, social problems, anything thing that ails you. And then comforting yourself (the cake and wine) to help forget about the problems that you probably shouldnt be ignoring.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
