The lyrics are a reflection on a friend who has slipped into a comatose or vegetative state.

Phil Anselmo says that the song was not about a specific person, but a series of losses he suffered.

Phil Anselmo's voice is much softer in the beginning of this song, as opposed to the rest of the album.

The vocals are very reminiscent of another hit ballad by Pantera, "Cemetery Gates".

Preceding a short solo by Dimebag Darrell, there is a short breakdown and the song continues with more intense heavy riffing and drumming (in 4/4) and more aggressive raspy singing and growling from Anselmo.
