Pantera - Suicide Note Pt. 2 (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸🥁)

I am led to believe that this song is about the people and what ultimately led Phil to considering suicide in the first place. The lick at 1:09 is real nice. You can hear the agony and pain in Phil's voice and can just tell he is in a bad spot. The solo is interesting and sounds like a video game laser gun 1:50 especially haha it's awesome. The outro lick is trippy and is also very nice, Dime can really make some crazy sounds on the guitar haha. Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
Out of my mind, gun up to the mouth
No pretension, execution
Live and learn, rape and turn
Fret not family, nor pre-judged army
This is for me, and me only
Cowards only try it

[Chorus]
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and its lies and makes graves descending

[Verse 2]
It's not worth the time to try
To replenish a rotting life
I'll end the problem, facing nothing
Fuck you off, fuck you all
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me
For weakness is a magnet - watch me do it, do it

[Chorus]
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and it's lies
Makes graves descending down

[Verse 3]
Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it?
Doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice
When a mind's made up to go ahead and die
What's done is done and gone, so why cry?
[Bridge]
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me
For weakness is a magnet - watch me do it, do it, do it

[Refrain 2]
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and its lies
Make graves descending down

"Phil Anselmo is saying that killing himself is for him because it’s only for cowards, or so some say as they believe it’s an escape from the hardships of life. He could also be referring to people using “cowardly” methods such as slitting wrists, OD'ing, etc."

"Phil Anselmo suffered a back injury which led to an addiction to pain pills so that he could keep up his heroic stage presence. He kept needing more powerful opioids leading him to become isolated from the rest of the band."

"The isolation caused by and mixed with the addition lead Anselmo to abuse heroin."

"This was a major reason for the break up of Pantera. Anselmo goes into detail about his injury, his heroin abuse, and Pantera’s break up when talking to students at Loyola University."

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.[7]

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 lyrical themes on The Great Southern Trendkill include drugs, a flood that ends mankind, finding deeper meaning, anger, and the media.[4][7][10][11][12][13] The album features elements of thrash metal[5][14] and death metal,[9] but is mostly considered a groove metal album overall.[5]

On August 12, 2016, Pantera announced the release of a 20th anniversary edition of The Great Southern Trendkill for October 21.[18] The reissue features two discs, including a remastered version of the original album as well as 12 unreleased tracks (these include instrumentals, as well as alternative mixes and live recordings from the Dynamo Festival in 1998).[19] In addition, a separate LP named The Great Southern Outtakes was released. It consists of songs also released on disc 2 of Trendkill's reissue except for the intro and early mix of "Suicide Note Part l".[20]
