This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list and you're last on mine
Looking for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming, "Where do I hide?"
And now he asks, I say, hurry inside
He said, she said, no, she don't
Be back before morning and you know she won't
Well, I remember that summer like yesterday
And I remember his mother, as he was dragged away
I still hear him screaming, "Where do I hide?"
And now he asks, I say, hurry inside
A whole lot of memory, yours and not mine
And now he asks and I say, hurry inside
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list and you're last on mine
Looking for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming, "Where do I hide?"
And now he asks, I say, hurry inside
A whole lot of memory, yours and not mine
And now he asks and I say, hurry inside
Where do I hide?
First on the bad list and you're last on mine
Looking for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming, "Where do I hide?"
And now he asks, I say, hurry inside
He said, she said, no, she don't
Be back before morning and you know she won't
Well, I remember that summer like yesterday
And I remember his mother, as he was dragged away
I still hear him screaming, "Where do I hide?"
And now he asks, I say, hurry inside
A whole lot of memory, yours and not mine
And now he asks and I say, hurry inside
Got a criminal record, I can't cross state lines
First on the bad list and you're last on mine
Looking for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, staring straight at you
I still hear him screaming, "Where do I hide?"
And now he asks, I say, hurry inside
A whole lot of memory, yours and not mine
And now he asks and I say, hurry inside
Where do I hide?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I could be wrong but, i hears this song over and over and the only concept i could come up with for this song is that he is talking about being charged for his friends crime.If anyone has anything different from that LET ME KNOW!
The walking down the aisle part is a courtroom. He got caught for someone else's crime.
Sounds like he helped a friend who committed a crime but got caught helping him.
I never thought of it the way everyone else is talking about it, but it makes perfect sence
i know exactly what this song is about, i read about it in a ny post interview on nickelback.com.. when chad went into juvi hall with a friend, chad came out, and his friend didn't because he tried to get high after injecting something in his arm.. pretty sad, but overall a really damn good song.
yes 'pillow' thats what its about.. in a nutshell. its about chads friend, corey, who went to a minimum security prison. everytime he escaped hed go back to his hometown. one time he showed up at chads house trying to hide from the cops. corey died in prison on his 18th birthday.
thanks to @pillow's comment I finally found it: June 28, 2002 - New York Post - ROCKY ROAD TRIP – CHAD KROEGER WANTS TO MAKE SOMETHING PERFECTLY CLEAR

"Post: Should people look deeply into your lyrics?
Kroeger: Absolutely. But some of it is very cryptic, unless I told you, this song is about me and a friend who got in trouble when we were both really young. I got sent away and came back a few months later and straightened out my act, and he didn’t. He died in prison on his 18th birthday, injecting something into his arm he thought was going to get him high.
Unless I actually told you that story, you wouldn’t know that’s what the song “Where Do I Hide” is all about."
also Chad talks about the song here - Nickelback - Leader Of Men, Where Do I Hide - The Joint - Las Vegas - 3-2-2018: youtube.com/watch
(basically what @lilheartke5 said)
@pfuj<br /> sorry, looks like youtube link doesn't work<br /> try here:<br /> youtu.be/A8Hz9AhRlxQ
@pfuj ...okay, no idea why youtube link doesn't seem to work, maybe like this it would?<br /> youtube.com/watch<br /> <br /> or copy and paste into browser without brackets<br /> <br /> https(:)//www(.)youtube(.)com/watch?v=A8Hz9AhRlxQ<br /> <br /> or just search for video name: Nickelback - Leader Of Men, Where Do I Hide - The Joint - Las Vegas - 3-2-2018
man i agreee that he got cought for a crime he didt comite and i think that it was hes friend that did the crime or mabey they both had something to do with it but he was the only one cought or his friend ratted him out withce is trippy man
really? See, cause I always thought it sounded like he committed the crime but framed his friend. He tells his friend where to hide then rats him out.
I have no clue.. I was thinking more along the lines of marriage. Walking down the aisle staring straight at you. I still hear you screaming where do I hide? I'm thinking.... She doesnt want to marry him. That's my conclusion, Bro
Well, i think this song is more about him and his friend both committing crimes, then they both hide in different places and his friend gets caught but he doesnt
