This song has a fat ass donkey kong sounding drum beat in the beginning which is awesome. I never knew Phil was saying 'whores' in the beginning haha. I think the song is about drugs and being addicted, at least that's the vibe I get from it. Maybe the 13 steps is like a 12 step program but then one more step to no where because the treatment didn't work. Dime's riffing at the end is really nice, he can do some crazy shit with a guitar. Part of it reminds me of a sound I've heard on a tool song I think haha. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics 🎤

[Chorus 1]
Whores
Whores
Whores

[Verse 1]
Your windows boarded up
Your private lives exposed
The talk shows pump it up
Lab rats diseased for show
We're doomed to use the slang
Outbreak of drug roulette
A church burned to the ground
Not even noticed yet

[Chorus 2]
13 [x6]
Steps
(To Nowhere)

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
A backwards swastika
The black skin riddled in lead
A Nazi Gangster Jew
It beats a dog that's dead
It's in to use the slang
Outbreak of gun roulette
The cross slants to the side
Will prove the damnedest yet
[Chorus 2]

[Verse 3]
The backlash dislocates
An untimely reign of death
The wolf poked with the stick
Awaits with cancerous breath
Leads to nowhere
Outsiders still suppose
There's Holy streets to roam
The truth should not surprise
Your homes were built on lies
Lies, yeah

[Chorus 2]

Unlike Pantera's first three major label albums, the vocals are often double-tracked and layered to create a more "demonic" effect.[citation needed] An example of this can be heard in the chorus of "13 Steps to Nowhere", when Phil Anselmo's singing voice is backed up by high-pitched screaming, done by Seth Putnam of the band Anal Cunt.[8] Screams done by Anselmo on the song "The Great Southern Trendkill" were compared to Putnam.[9]

The Great Southern Trendkill is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Pantera, released on May 7, 1996 through East West Records. It reached number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart, and stayed on the chart for 16 weeks. Phil Anselmo recorded the vocals alone at Trent Reznor's Nothing Studios in New Orleans[3] while Dimebag Darrell, Rex Brown, and Vinnie Paul recorded the music at Chasin Jason Studios in Dalworthington Gardens.

Considered Pantera's most aggressive album,[4] The Great Southern Trendkill is known for featuring much screaming,[5][6] most notably on "Suicide Note Pt. II" and "The Great Southern Trendkill" while also featuring some of the fastest tempos and most down-tuned guitars ("The Underground in America" and "(Reprise) Sandblasted Skin" were played in standard D flat tuning, with the 6th string tuned to a low G flat.)[citation needed] that the band ever recorded. It also has a more experimental nature, such as the acoustic guitars[4] and ballads.
