Ether Lyrics
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 sell you freedom
We came to burn you down
We came to brainwash children
It's just your own new suicide
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 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
It's just your own new suicide
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
We'll never be found by anyone out here
Hide away from everything that knows what we did
I've been everywhere
I know everything
Because I'm everybody
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 [x2]
I agree it's about Bush and the Afghanistan war, but NOT the Iraq War.
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.
based on matt holts view of humanity, we are a virus that should be taken out
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
I think it's about the suppression of consciousness and just going with the herd depicted through war.
Democracy is great eh? All these things that happen that we never actually vote for. No notes.
Ether is about the Iraq war...
totally, it is defietly about all the goings on in iraq. 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!!
i always thought it was directed towards george bush .. and also the war.. so .. yeah i agree...
definitely about some supposed peace making during troubled times.
We came to take control We came to sell you freedom We came to burn you down We came to brainwash children
I think part of the song may be about dieing in war, "where we belong, theres no one to felt, its some place where we can't be felt" plus ether means something like heaven or space.
This song is about the Iraq war ... but it is directed at how they think Bush has been unjust. How he sees himself as a superpower and masks his brutality by saying that its for the good of the Iraq people ...
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.
