Itch Lyrics

There's a rumbling in my head
It's getting louder, and louder
There's a shaking in my bones
It's getting stronger, and stronger

There's a hunger in my heart
It's full of promise, promise
There's an itch under my skin
It's under my skin, under my skin

'Cause I, I just wanna feel something real
'Cause I, I just wanna feel something

On the pavement I am looking
For a lover, a lover
And my eyes are rolling
She noticed, she noticed

There's a blood red on my shirt
And it's shining, shining
There's a sharp pain from my face
I kinda like it, I like it

'Cause I, I just wanna feel something real
'Cause I, I just wanna feel something real
Just wanna feel something

I just wanna love
I just wanna touch
I just wanna say
(Something)

I just wanna love
I just wanna touch
I just wanna say

'Cause I, I just wanna feel something real
'Cause I, I just wanna feel something real
Wanna feel something

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I feel like this is quite obviously about depression. You might disagree with me, but I feel like it matches exactly with my experiences. Every single word.

I agree with the previous interpretation, but it may also be about someone who's good at finding excuses to keep you away, time after time, taking anything for granted and consider his point of view as more important than the other.
