Pantera - Living Through Me Hell's Wrath (Lyrics on Screen Video 🎤🎶🎸)🥁

I like the main lick a lot in this one, a steady chugger with nice rhythm behind it. It sounds like Phil is pissed about something or someone, somebody probably pissed him off. Also the song talks about dropping a needle which I feel is about Phil's heroin use, the lyric scheme is hard foe me to interpret haha. The chorus sounds like how it feels to be coming down from heroin or the effects of the withdrawals. The spoken word part is interesting and I think is about Phil's subconscious telling him what he needs to do to beat his addiction. Enjoy!

🎤 Lyrics 🎤

[Verse 1]
I cannot take the take
Your condition was nod awake
A selfish crier, boldface liar
Robbing all of what you could take in
Stabbed towards a death
A dirty smelling girl
Shit decisions, no provisions
Filling veins with juice of chaos

[Chorus 1]
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole, empty bag
Sunken eyes, whining dog
It's times like this you should pray for never

[Chorus 2]
I broke your fucking mold
Then threw away the cast

[Verse 2]
New religion and new provisions
It's amazing you're alive
Drop the needle and stop what you're changing into
Erase the end dissolving, disgrace is needed more
So I mended severed ties
Through flesh we cauterized
The undeserving, sliming, writhing
I filled you up with watered promise

[Chorus 1]
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole, empty bag
Sunken eyes, whining dog
It's times like this you should pray for never

[Chorus 3]
Spitting teeth, oral lust, alley fuck
Angel dust, anal whore, bleeding knees
It's times like this to pray for murder

[Verse 3]
So now I've seen it all
Hells' wrath
No man has greater glory
Because now you're living through me
So I'm done with saving you
A gift unto myself
A tired savior, a wasted favor
And I'm lucky I'm alive

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
So now I've seen it all
Hells' wrath
No man has greater glory
Because now you're living through me

*A selfish crier, boldface liar
Robbing all of what you could take in*
"Anselmo is talking about the things addiction does to you. Being selfish, self-loathing, lying.
“Robbing all that you could take in” can have a double meaning, as in the person physically stealing things to fund the habit, or the drug robbing you emotionally; having all of your thoughts centered around it."

*Shit decisions, no provisions
Filling veins with juice of chaos*
"Saying that the drug use led to multiple bad decisions from which you had nothing to gain."
“Filling veins with juice of chaos” refers to intravenous drug use. The drug being “a juice of chaos”, stuff that messes up your life."

*Spitting teeth*
"Many drug addicts' teeth rot, due to the effects of the drugs they take and/or because they no longer take care of basic hygiene."

*oral lust, alley fuck
Angel dust, anal whore, bleeding knees*
"Some drug addicts will resort to prostitution in order to have money for their next fix."

*No man has greater glory
Because now you're living through me
So I'm done with saving you
A gift unto myself
A tired savior, a wasted favor
And I'm lucky I'm alive*
"The “me” here is God. The idea is that people addicted to drugs have such increased odds of death from overdose or getting involved in criminal activity that they are only alive because God has protected them. The favor is “wasted” because he has continued to use drugs despite being given another chance."

"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.
