There's also the willow tree; symbolizing a lot of sadness that the person passed away.

Thanks, man. I'm not sure why I got 5 downvotes for referencing Pantera's best song.

It's not their best song. It is the most popular and one of the only songs that are played on the radio stations. Domination is my favorite

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Best song's a hard argument to win, but Walk's got undeniable power and a fantastic, slinky solo that shows Dime's complexity as a soloist.
