The intro on this song is very eerie and sounds really good, then sounds even better when Vinnie's drums come in. The song overall is a very slow groovy (and heavy of course) killer of a tune. The lyric scheme I believe is about Phil's addiction to heroin and how it is slowly defeating him. It's always sad to hear someone has fallen to addiction especially something like heroin, glad he's off it now. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics 🎤

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself

[Verse 2]
Long for the blur
We cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt
Disgusted with my cheapness

[Chorus]
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
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

"Phil speaks in general about heroin and its effects on people. This drug is highly addictive and makes you age fast, bringing you to a death without “fruits” (because you spent your life doing nothing productive but drugs). “Transfusion with somebody” probably refers to groups of junkies who share the same syringe."

"Heroin is compared to a double-edged sword: at first sight, it may seem like an angel which raises you to a peaceful state of ecstasy, but then it takes over you, making your prayers useless. At this point, you can’t do anything but stay silent and accept your faith."

"Even if he’s living in these horrible conditions, Phil is conscious about the fact that he can’t let his demons take control of him and expresses the constant fight between these two faces, which is harder and harder over time. Phil’s life is falling to pieces too as this fight goes on and on without an ending."

"Phil can’t stand up against his addiction and always ends up looking for the mental and physical inhibition that heroin gives to him."

"Heroin has the power to crumble Phil, transforming him into an extremely weak man (he goes from being hard as cement to being friable as dirt). Phil feels so guilty of his inability to win against his enemy too."

"Even if he’s living in these horrible conditions, Phil is conscious about the fact that he can’t let his demons take control of him and expresses the constant fight between these two faces, which is harder and harder over time. Phil’s life is falling to pieces too as this fight goes on and on without an ending."

The song "10's" was featured in the Funimation dub of the Dragon Ball Z film Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan in 2003.

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]
