I can't do what you do
I'm just able to tear it down
yeah
Stay in a cold minute of sleep
See the world
Right through the ether
Twisting names inside of me
Electric atmosphere to be
Must carry on one last time
Cannot end what has begun
In your eyes
You're alive
But in my eyes
You'r a lie
You can't do what I do
I'm just able to ruin you yeah
Stay in the cold ways of winter
See myself right through the ether
In my eyes
You're the lie
I'm just able to tear it down
yeah
Stay in a cold minute of sleep
See the world
Right through the ether
Electric atmosphere to be
Must carry on one last time
Cannot end what has begun
You're alive
But in my eyes
You'r a lie
I'm just able to ruin you yeah
Stay in the cold ways of winter
See myself right through the ether
You're the lie

Another brilliant song by Katatonia. The final part of the sing "In my eyes You're the lie" is absolutly amazing with the guitars creating an incredible atmoshphere.
This is about someone who knows another person in their life is a fraud and they're calling them out. They're saying to the other, you're mask has become transparent & I can see the lie that you are through the shroud.
Does he mean "ether" as in the inhalant, solvent drug?
