| i found it out all by myself!! this is an interview from metal-rules.com...and here's what tony said about this song That brings me to a question about a character thatīs been in, mentioned in, well one song was dedicated to the character and mentioned in another and that is "Dana O'Hara". Itīs in "Letter To Dana" and itīs in "Shy" from successor and thereīs a line in there: "You canīt be acting like my Dana.. I was wondering if this character is made up or is it based on any real person that you know of? No, I donīt think any people that I know actually know my music. I won't use anybody's names and their reference is there but only they can notice maybe. But Dana....whew...X-Files! (both laughing) I needed a name [Letter to Scully (laughs] I thought Dana would be nice. It was written back when it was a new series I think. So when I went and wrote the track "Shy" I put the same name there and to see if people will notice it....and they have! This is a very popular question y'know? [I bet! The lyrics do sound like a true, but sad, story]. ok that's it......there's no god damn real dana!!! | |

| This is possibly the beginning i na long serious of songs, starting with this, Shy, where the narrarator meets a girl and falls in love. Then "The end of this Chapter" where she leaves him and he stalks her. then "Don't Say a word" she fisn a new love ands he sees this as being unfaithful so he kills her. Then the new albumn Unia hosts the newest addition, "It wont Fade" where he copes ith what he's done. | |

| "Then the new albumn Unia hosts the newest addition, "It wont Fade" where he copes ith what he's done. " Actually, the song in this saga on Unia is "Caleb", which is a prequel and reveals the past of the character. | |
