Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nobody slides, my friend
It's a truth on which
You can depend
If you're living a lie
It will eat you alive
And nobody slides, my friend

Nobody slides, my friend

You can try it
But you'll never win
You can scream
You can shout
But it all evens out
And nobody slides my, friend

Nobody slides, my friend
Listen I'll say it again
You can run
You can hide

But it's still waitin' inside
And nobody slides, my friend

The chorus of the song emphasizes that nobody can slide; nobody can escape from what they have done. You might try, scream, and shout, but it all evens out in the end. You can run, and you can hide, but the truth is still waiting inside of you. You will eventually have to confront it and take responsibility for what you have done.
