Started by Marcuss Hall, David Curtis and Matt Jackson, they played shows in churches, basements, living rooms, coffee houses and eventually full concerts around southern Illinois. After signing to Tooth and Nail Records they exploded and toured with other bands similar to them.

After about a year or so Marcuss left side walk slam for personal reason. David replaced him on vocals and they recorded one more album with Neil Endicott stepping up in place of Davids old back ground. David Curtis also has participated in his own solo project which was slightly short lived.

Summer of 2006 showed a new side with a new name which is now Run Kid Run with all the same band members.

All I Have
Side Walk Slam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Foggy road my visions blurred
Have I lost my sight of you?
Distractions rise to grab attention

I long to see this vision through (i give it up to you)
Please guide our steps so that we may follow

all I have: it's all yours

Step by step we'll see this through
The past behind us

die to myself for something new,
As I put my trust in you.
I'm giving all. complete surrender.

I long to see this vision through (i give it up to you)
Please guide our steps so that we may follow

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Side Walk Slam's song "All I Have" set a somber and introspective tone. The singer appears to be on a journey, both literal and metaphorical, and is struggling to maintain clarity of purpose. The "foggy road" symbolizes the obstacles that obscure the singer's goal, while the question "Have I lost my sight of you?" reflects a sense of doubt and confusion. The distractions that "rise to grab attention" could be interpreted as the singer's internal struggles or external pressures that threaten to steer their attention away from what really matters.

Despite these challenges, the singer expresses a steadfast commitment to their mission. The repetition of the phrase "I long to see this vision through" suggests a strong sense of determination and focus. The following lyrics indicate a willingness to submit to a higher power and let go of the past in order to move forward. "Die to myself for something new" can be understood as a surrender of ego and a reorientation towards growth and change. The call to "put my trust in you" reflects a sense of faith and reliance on God or a spiritual force to guide the singer's journey.
