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.

Another Day
Side Walk Slam Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you're there (for me)
But I don't care
You want the best (for me)
But I won't dare
Give you a chance (a try)
In my life
I don't like change (or time)
In my life

I don't like the time
I don't like the pace
Can't you see the blank stare on my face
So, why don't you bother me some other day

You won't give up (on me)
But I think you will
You keep on praying (for me)
I'll just sit here
Got no time for church (i'm scared)
Go go away

No room for amazing grace (i'm empty)
That's all i've got to say

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Side Walk Slam's song Another Day depict a person who is in a state of apathy and resistance towards change. The repeated mention of not liking change and time suggests that the person may be afraid of the unknown future and prefers a sense of stability in their life. However, the person's resistance to change is driving them away from the people who care about them, as seen in the lines "You say you're there (for me) but I don't care... I won't give you a chance (a try) in my life."

The person seems to be stuck in a state of passive existence, as indicated by the line "Can't you see the blank stare on my face." The person also seems to have a negative view of religion, saying "Got no time for church (i'm scared) / No room for amazing grace (i'm empty)", suggesting a possible lack of faith or disbelief in the concept of salvation.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of isolation and detachment from the world, where the person feels trapped in their own thoughts and struggles to connect with others. The song captures the feeling of being at a crossroads in life, where the fear of change is preventing the person from moving forward.
