Cover art for Glide lyrics by Stone Temple Pilots

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
