Cover art for Ether lyrics by Electric President

i see an alcoholic who talks his way out of things and his kids getting taken away as well as his house.

"While you slept it off Your empire was lost Now we're not your sons Your old silver tongue It don't work too well now"

silver tongue means eloquent speech.

Then as his kids are going through the rest of their life they have more trouble then normal "We wandered off With our heads nice and soft But we were still numb And we burned in the sun And got torn to pieces"

The kids then went out of their way to get attention. not sure about the "flying" things underneath the floorboards. seems like they got in a fight, at a bar.

"I walked across from eyes And scratched my name into the sky The things beneath my floorboards fly I'll never let them out And all my teeth are down at my feet And all of the blood comes in a flood Start counting sheep"

the kids grow up ending up with the same problem as their father. they have health issues as well as they try to get by with little money. they're not scared of the problems because they are older. "While we slept it off All the money was lost Now we can't stand up Yeah, the blood in our guts It just weighs us down now We'll crawl along Despite what goes wrong 'cause we're not that young Takes more than your guns to scare us off now"

at the end i see one of the kids dying and not caring, seems almost peaceful. like the struggle in their life was so unnecessary and now they can finally be free of things that weren't their fault.

you, my friend, are retarded.

very shallow.
