About This Track

'Devil's Itch' by Drain is a 2023 metal track from the album 'LIVING PROOF'. The lyrics frame a grim cycle of being worn down, with defiance built out of endurance and anger. Lines about life not apologising, taking pain, and refusing to stay silent sit alongside repeated references to victimisation, ending on a blunt sense of daily struggle. One glance at the repeated beat of “We take the pain” makes it clear this is a song about damage endured, not redeemed, and the furious determination to carry on anyway.

"Devil's Itch" is a track by Drain, from the album LIVING PROOF, released 3rd May 2023. The track is 2:05 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Drain.

Lyrics

Devil's Itch

Been spit through the ringer
Too many times
We stood up, we shut up
'Cause life doesn't apologize

It keeps on swinging

Cut out from a different cloth
Blood, sweat, but never tears

We take the pain, you break
And then cry to anyone who's gonna fucking listen

Victimized
Every day of your fragile life
Got a message for you and all your friends;
"Go fuck yourself!"
Life's rough
I just make it look good (ooh)

I've learned everything I know from my mistakes
No one held my fucking hand
Found out the hard way
That's how I know you'll break
When the pressure's on, you're gonna run away

Everybody wants to put you down until they've got something to gain
Fuck you!
