"Ether" as written by Dave Allen, Hugo H. Burnham, Andrew Gill and Jon King....
I never hesitate
Because I'm too good for that
I never show restraint
Because there is no need for that
I know everyone
I've been everywhere
I know everything
Because I'm everybody
We came to take control
We came to sell you freedom
We came to burn you down
We came to brainwash children
And it's not our fault
It's just your own new suicide
Where we belong
There's no one to hurt
It's some place that we can't be found
Where we belong
It's darker than space
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found
It's that time again
Can we get it right?
He wants us to revolt
To set the world on fire
We don't want to show restraint
Because we like the violence
We are security
Wrapped in our brutality
And it's not our fault
It's just your own new suicide
Where we belong
There's no one to hurt
It's some place that we can't be found
Where we belong
It's darker than space
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found
Find our way through space
We'll never be found by anyone out here
Hide away from everything that knows what we did
I know everyone
I've been everywhere
I know everything
Because I'm everybody
Where we belong
There's no one to hurt
It's some place that we can't be found
Where we belong
It's darker than space
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found
Because I'm too good for that
I never show restraint
Because there is no need for that
I know everyone
I've been everywhere
I know everything
Because I'm everybody
We came to take control
We came to sell you freedom
We came to burn you down
We came to brainwash children
And it's not our fault
It's just your own new suicide
Where we belong
There's no one to hurt
It's some place that we can't be found
Where we belong
It's darker than space
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found
It's that time again
Can we get it right?
He wants us to revolt
To set the world on fire
We don't want to show restraint
Because we like the violence
We are security
Wrapped in our brutality
And it's not our fault
It's just your own new suicide
Where we belong
There's no one to hurt
It's some place that we can't be found
Where we belong
It's darker than space
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found
Find our way through space
We'll never be found by anyone out here
Hide away from everything that knows what we did
I know everyone
I've been everywhere
I know everything
Because I'm everybody
Where we belong
There's no one to hurt
It's some place that we can't be found
Where we belong
It's darker than space
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found

Can you guess why?
Skeletones came out in April 2003. The Iraq War started in March 2003. The lyrics for the album would have to have been written in 2002 or earlier.
this song is about destroying our planet resulting in the death of all of us.
"Where we belong
There's no one to hurt
It's some place that we can't be found
Where we belong
It's darker than space
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found" ----death
death is dark, you cant be found, no one gets hurt ect.
ether is a chemical which could wipe us all out
ether-death
the part where it says "he wants us to revolt, to set the word on fire" it's reffering to bin laden or um, wats his name??? saddam housin however thats spelt.
awsome song though!!
We came to take control
We came to sell you freedom
We came to burn you down
We came to brainwash children
We don't want to show restraint
Because we like the violence
We are security
Wrapped in our brutality
And then the "where we belong..." bits are about how the writer feels that we shouldnt have gone to war, that it was wrong. We deserve to be somewhere that we can't harm others. And the song also shows that the writer feels we ALL know this to be true, but don't want to admit it:
A feeling that we all push down
So it can't be found
That's what I think at least ... of course all songs have thousands of different meanings to different people.
Saz x
We came to take control - remove your government
We came to sell you freedom - How about some oil?
We came to burn you down - bombed into submission.
We came to brainwash children - america is great, don't rebel.
