Where You Come From

Hahaha... Nobody has added 1 fuckin' comment about this song... But it fuckin' rules! Pantera is and will remain the greatest band ever... No band have ever done so many fuckin' gr8 songs....

This song is fucking rules, Theres alot to learn whoa! from a bottle of Whiskey!

This song is the fucking shit. Can't believe I'm the third comment on this...

Easily one of Pantera's most underrated songs, its so fuggin' good, love this song.

I agree with the above... I am not sure what it is about... maybe a bad past that still is inside but now you can careless...IDK.

It's underated for not everyone can get to this song for it isn't on any of the 5 studio albums. It's on official live 101 proof.

I love this swingy southern riff. "A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY!"

Well I guess it sounds more like his battle with drug addiction and alcoholism... he has a lot to learn about those things, it caused him to fall in front of his friends, and since it probably runs in his family, it's where he comes from. Addiction, ya know? Whatever.

yeh this song is amazing. one of the best riffs. very underated. GREAT lyrics.

what its about i think. somewhat of his addictions to alcohol and drugs. about when he died perhaps, or even freaking out one night and told the rest of pantera he quit. but then came back and appologized up and down "its strange to be around again" or possibly back in his home town. also as nightshade has said the part "i fell in front of my friends i dropped out infront of the world, you call that supernatural??" like how embarrising that was and how like being in his celebrity positioning its like hes looked at as a god but really it just shows how like anyone else he really is

also with the "But it's still alive And it's in me now And it lives and breathes But, I COULD CARE LESS!!!" his dad was an alcoholic and shit and he always hated him for it and the dude beat him and shit. see "25 years".

And also i think as ive said about when he died on heroin and was revived "Black wings will weather your flight For some there's no second time"

and yeh just mainly about his struggle with addictions that his father also had "its where you come from" and just getting fucked up and making rash decisions and saying shit you regret. "ive got a big mouth and theres alot to learn from a bottle of whiskey"

anyway thats just what i think. anyone agree haha?

This is, I think, the 5th version of the lyrics for this song that I have seen posted across the internet. I don't think the true lyrics were or ever will be posted.

I have seen "Can't break from my disguise" posted as "Can't kill the bad disguise" and "Can't kill the bastard skies." Also, it's hard to hear, but after he says "It's where you come from", he says "The South." He says it very deep and low so it's almost lost in the guitar riff.

At the end of the song when he is repeating "It's where you come from" it sounds to me like he isn't repeating the same lyrics over and over. It sounds like the 2nd "It's where you come from" is actually "It's where you end up" or something very close to it. The 4th repeat does not sound like "It's where you come from" but at that point he is screaming very close to the microphone and I can't tell what he is saying.

To me, this song does deal with addiction, but may also deal with the shit he did while under the influence of weed, whiskey and who knows what else. The lyric where he says that "I fell in from of my friends...I dropped out in front of the world...You call that supernatural...It ain't" most likely talks about one or all of the times he died (I think he died at least twice). He was interviewed by these two assholes before a concert while he was touring with Superjoint Ritual. He mentioned that he has died before and that there was no light and he saw no angels or anything else that would hint at an afterlife.

When he says "It's where you come from" I'm pretty sure he is talking about his alcoholic father and how he was treated by him as well as the way that it has affected his life. His father was a bar owner so he probably saw people getting shit faced and doing stupid shit all the time.

"Black wings will weather your flight" - The Crow? (I seriously don't know what this lyric means, probably a vague reference to death)

"For some there's no second time" - He may be talking about a friend of his that died from a heroin overdose

"Following paths of your life" - He is probably talking about making good and bad decisions

"I stepped off the mountain to sky" - This lyric is either talking about dieing or the euphoric feeling you get after you shoot up with heroin

Overall, this is a badass song! This is one of my favorite songs from Pantera. This has some really awesome guitar work that makes me feel like learning how to play guitar so I can play this song really gritty and really loud. It's sad to think that there won't be anymore badassnes of this magnitude from these guys.
