Glide

Stone Temple Pilots

Torment the tortured, teach me things
I'm so alive
Speak to the speechless
Seek the things
You have inside

You can hunt for the hunter
He's got nowhere to hide
You can seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride

Keep it coming I'm going all the way
Keep it coming I'm going all the way
Give me a half a chance
From throwing it all away

Run to the place that hides the pain
You have inside
Cover my chain it hides the strain
Only to glide

You can hunt for the hunter
He's got nowhere to hide
You can seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride

Keep it coming I'm going all the way
Keep it coming I'm going all the way
Give me a half a chance
From throwing it all away

There's nowhere to turn to nowhere
There's nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it
Fly it on the run
There is nowhere to turn to nowhere
There is nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it
Fly it on the run

Oh-oh, oh-oh

It's too late, time is gone
Later on again 'cause no one's leaving

It's too late, time is gone
Later on again 'cause no one's leaving

Now
Look away

There's nowhere to turn to nowhere
There's nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it
Fly it on the run
There is nowhere to turn to nowhere
There is nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it
Fly it on the run

Oh-oh, oh-oh

    This song is purely amazing! I think it's the 'Still Remains' version for the No.4 album lol, it really reminds me of that song but it's still just beautiful

    i have to agree with some of the people here i believe this song is about overcoming something/someone who is holding you back from reaching your full potential however id like to point out the irony of the title of the song the fact that one is gliding instead of flying says alot when you glide you are up high but you are not flying and will eventually hit the bottom and thats what i think this song is about

    You made it. You're flying so high. You reached the sun. The fucking sun! But you know when you get there that the crash will be insane as well. Everyone who reached a super high point in life but had to come down afterwards will relate to this. Back to "normal life".

    It sounds like maybe referring to anything that helps you leave life behind not just drugs but anything else.

    OMG! From the operning riff to the last bar this song scoops u up and elevates u to a place not on this earth. STP #4 is an album partially recorded while Scott was in prison and it's a miracle it even exists. Yeah, it's no Purple but has some of their best ever tracks. True they are mostly about skag addiction but the sheer intensity of them almost makes u feel like u are on drugs. Pruno, Sour Girl, Atlanta and especially Glide just take me away some place else and it's close to where Scott was at the time. I also believe he is a good man and I hope one day STP will refom and headline a rock festival.

    I love the haunting end of the song especially. This song really gives me hope for what I'm not sure. next to "I Got You" this is my fav song on No. 4

    Well these lyrics above are incomplete and incorrect in numerous places but nm that... this is in my top 5 songs EVER. Amazing falcetto, beautiful musicianship (as always)... it's almost enough to make me believe in God. Probably about trying to beat addiction and save his own life.
