“Disaster” is the third track on Conan Gray’s sophomore studio album, Superache. The song represents the mental spiral one goes through when contemplating confessing their feelings for someone.
This track is one out of the four songs from the album that were made in collaboration with singer-songwr...
[Verse 1]
Let me just set the scene
I'd just left the party at Blake's and it's Halloween
Had the keys to my car in my hand, but I didn't leave
'Cause the potential of us, it was keeping me up all night long
I left a text you won't read all night long
[Chorus]
This could be a disaster
There's so many factors, like, what if you freak out
And then we're losin' it all at the critical chapter
Where I say, "I love you" and you don't say it after?
This could be a disaster
I'm pedaling backwards by sayin' that "I'm drunk
I really shouldn't have called," I'm a little bit plastered
You call me a liar, now I'm fallin' in faster
This could be a disaster
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, disaster
Oh-oh-oh, disaster
[Verse 2]
Let me just lose my mind
Is it purely platonic to call me, like, every night?
You know, Ashley believes that there's something between you and I
But if I'm readin' it wrong, then it'd be better off if I died, oh
And if you're readin' the text all night long
[Chorus]
This could be a disaster
There's so many factors, like, what if you freak out
And then we're losin' it all at the critical chapter
Where I say, "I love you" and you don't say it after?
This could be a disaster
I'm pedaling backwards by sayin' that "I'm drunk
I really shouldn't have called," I'm a little bit plastered
You call me a liar, now I'm fallin' in faster
This could be a disaster
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, disaster
Oh-oh-oh, disaster
[Outro]
Maybe I'm mistaken (Oh-oh-oh)
You're not mine for takin' (Oh-oh-oh)
Maybe I'm mistaken
Maybe I just made it up, messed it up

That song is just about that moment where you really wanna tell someone that you have feelings for them but you’re like, “But, what if they don’t like me? Of course they don’t like me. I’m atrocious.” I’m like, “there’s so many factors. Like what if you don’t like me and then we never talk again bec...
‘Disaster’ sounds a little different from the rest of the album. I wanted the song to sound like overthinking, where you’re racing through all these moments in your life with someone and trying to decipher whether or not they like you, and whether you should tell them that you have feelings for them...
