My skin is cold, transfusion with somebody morose and
old, drop into fruitless dying
It was tempting and bared, the whoring angel rising
Now burning prayers, my silent time of losing
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
Long for the blur, we cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt, disgusted with my cheapness
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
Reaching down, staring up (at the forgiver)
oh god,this song made me cry my ass off after I first heard about dimebag.
I believe this song is entirely about heroin addiction.
My skin is cold. Talking about the cold sweats whilst experiencing withdrawals. Transfusion with somebody. Sharing needles with someone. Morose an old. Talking about being snappy, moody and feeling very old. Drop into fruitless dying. Failing to achieve desired goals and results. It was tempting and bared. He's referring to the temptation of the drug and how easy it was to gain possession. The whoring Angel rising. Not 100% but could be referring to the needle (as it is sort of the shape of an angel.) Now burning prayers. Living with Regret. My silent time of losing. Talking about becoming an addict and battling depression by himself. My foes, they can't destroy my body. My enemy, "heroin" possibly or "the media" or both can't destroy me. PHIL always spoke of staying true to metal and not letting the media impact the band in any way. He also spoke about being able to function properly on heroin, so possibly two meanings. Colliding slow, like life itself. He's slowly detiorating into a spiral of drug abuse, and it's slowly taking toll, slow also could refer to the time spent staring at the clock waiting for his next fix. Life is slow waiting for drugs.
But that's just my opinion...
@Joeliefisho92 Long for the blur, we cannot dry much longer. Longing to get high and can't suffer the withdrawals much longer. Cement to dirt, disgusted with my cheapness. Talking about going from strong minded to a weak addict and being ashamed about it. Reaching down, starring up at the forgiver. Referring to being a victim of heroin, going to hell but looking up at heaven wanting help or forgiveness... Basically giving up on himself...

@Joeliefisho92 I think the line "Transfusion with somebody morose and old" is referring to how when he wakes up with his bones cold and achy until he gets his first fix of the day, that its changing him into an old man temporarily; since the old person arthritis type symptoms share major similarities.

@Joeliefisho92 Also, I think the "Whoring Angel rising" is referring to the drug itself since it used to mask the back pain and let him continue being superman on stage for a time. But the drug doesn't discriminate and puts out for anyone who asks, which is why its a whoring angel. After a while, this stops working as well as it did initially and turns into a crutch, from an angel into burning prayers.

fukin mad song
If you can't see it's about heroine, you've never done it and you don't know much about Pantera (Anselmo specifically).
10s is referring to the string gauge used for the guitars.
@live101587 I think it's a little deeper than that.

@live101587 The song is about Heroin, which comes through right on the opening line "My skin is cold, transfusion with somebody morose and old". If you listen to his speech at Layola college, he describes when he wakes up and his bones are freezing until he has his first fix of the day.

10s refers to bundles of heroin (1 bundle = 10 bags)

Man this song fuckin rocks, not many Pantera fans here or what?
Great Southern Trendkill is probably the best Metal album in the last 10 years.
Id say great southern trendkill is the best pantera album criminally underrated anyway
Trendkill had some sick solos. This song had one of them. Floods outro is another. And suicide note 2 is also pretty damn cool.
Phil Anselmo has a huge cock. 10's (inches?) This song is probably about heroin. Phil Anselmo did heroin for awhile then quit cold turkey. People who do heroin make kick ass music. Examples: Dax Riggs, Scott Weiland, Layne Staley. The only exception is Kurt Cobain. I hate that guy. Anyway, Pantera fucking rule for a bunch of drunk rednecks. Damageplan sucks!
@jackrules No doubt about the reference, 10\'s is a needle reference, though it could as easily allude to perfection--not in the coincidental Asian sense (ten literally being perfect as a number and in meaning) as much as somebody with a perfect body or rather the body being perfect.\r\n\r\nNot really a genitalia joke, not that the band would ever mind or care TOO much, but Pantera being a real heavy metal band not their purest intention.\r\n\r\nFtr, I know certain bands, even hugely popular ones can come off as whiny, because truthfully they really are in at least some way, but their...

Just look at Billy Corgan. He\'s done some good work despite being a pretentious egomaniac that pretends he\'s tone deaf. Probably have someone else write his own autobiography, despite the fundamental dichotomy. Besides, it could always be worse.
i think its about heroin to, mainly when he died from O.D. its more than likely a measurement in heroin or saryngis (or however its spelt).
You're exactly right. I read in, like, Hit Parader or something that 10's refers to the dose count on a syringe. Did he confirm heroin? No, but I think we can all agree it is!!
