About This Track

'Slide' by IDER is an alternative track from the album 'Emotional Education' (2019). The lyrics return to a childlike image of “coming down the slide again” while circling a restless, self-protective longing. A voice addresses someone who keeps trying them on, then claims a lonely return, as if affection is both kept and lost too quickly. The line about holding on tight sharpens the sense of being pulled between trust and disappearance, with the repeated descent suggesting repetition, rather than resolution.

"Slide" is a track by IDER, from the album Emotional Education, released 18th July 2019. The track is 4:10 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about IDER.

Lyrics

Slide

Oh, do you like what you see?
You're trying me on again, you're trying me on
Oh, I'm a lonely child again
Coming down the slide again, coming down the slide

Hold on tight
If I could
I never understood, I never understood
Keep you close 'til you're gone and that's never long
That's never long

Oh, do you like what you see?
You're trying me on again, you're trying me on
I can climb to the top again
Seeing you now and then, seeing you now

Oh, why'd you leave for so long again?
What am I missing out on again?
You have me on
Will you say what you mean to me?
Said you'd call me your friend again

Hold on tight
If I could
I never understood, I never understood
Keep you close 'til you're gone and that's never long
That's never long

Oh, do you like what you see?
You're trying me on again, you're trying me on
I'm a lonely child again
Coming down the slide again, coming down the slide

Look at me
Go ahead and fool me, my friend
When you never drive me home
Say it goes away, that I want to know what I want
Now see we float like a stone
Look at me
Go ahead and fool me, my friend
Why you never drive me home?
Say it goes away, that I want to know what I want
Now see we float like a stone

Hold on tight
Hold on tight
Hold on tight
If I could
I never understood, I never understood
