about

"Suicide Note, Pt.1, a rendition of the Pantera classic, from the album "The Great Southern Trend Kill".
Lyrically addressing dark insecurities of our mortality.Drug & substance abuse, self-doubt, shame, social & mental anxiety, and the daily search for happiness as we “Try to Live through This Night”, to live another day.

When I approached this music, I aimed for a more haunting soundscape and contrasting instrumentation than the original. I wanted to match the depth and soul of the lyrics to the music itself. This was my goal when I approached reimagining this somber heavy tune. I hope you find it an interesting take on a Pantera deep cut and enjoy listening as much as I did while constructing this version."

lyrics

Lyrics by Phil H. Anselmo

Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale
The pills that kill and take the pain away
(Take the pain away)
Diet of life, shelter without
The face that cannot see inside yours and mine
(Yours and mine)

When I'm hiding, when I need it
It lets me breathe
For our handle on this life
I don't believe this time

Would you look at me now? (Would you look at me now?)
Can you tell I'm a man? (Can you tell I'm a man?)
With the scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again

Try to die again
Try to live through this night
Try to die again

Forever fooling, free, and using
Sliding down the slide that breaks a will
(Breaks a will)
Mother's angel, getting smarter
How smart are you to regress unfulfilled?
It's a damn shame

When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me breathe
For our handle on this life
I don't believe this time (this time)
Would you look at me now? (Would you look at me now?)
Can you tell I'm a man? (Can you tell I'm a man?)
With the scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again (I'll try again)
Would you look at me now? (Would you look at me now?)
Can you tell I'm a man? (Can you tell I'm a man?)
With the scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again (I'll try again)
Try to die again
Try to live through this night
Try to die again
