No Picture Tony Wanna Be	#5 by Tony Danza at Oct 9, 1990 at 11:20 AM EST
	This song is amazing the lyrics are probably one of the best pantera had to offer Its about breaking someone off of him probably a girlfriend "I was me, but you weren't you. You were sticking to me like a scab...so I peeled you away, and bled for days. Then Stepped out of myself. " peeled you away obviously states that bleeding for days represents his hurt after the breakup "found the guts to sever from my siamese twin" etc etc but w/e does it matter take what you want from the lyrics and rock it out

No Picture Sam Wanna Be	#6 by Sam Payne at May 31, 2000 at 5:03 PM EST

	Pnatera, Insane, This song conflects with so much in my life right now. but yeah it was about a lover phil had that hurt him so much he felt betrayed and he threw her away after she'd hurt him so much.
