Devil on my Back is a song about overcoming darkness. The intro features a backwards sample of Franklin Roosevelt saying "we have nothing to fear, but fear itself"
lyrics
Night is falling, I can feel it cover me
Hands around me, push, squeeze they smother me
Kick, scream in my bed til I’m on the floor
Can’t let me fall asleep the sandman’s at my door
Hands like razor blades dragging over me
Whispers in my ear, thoughts controlling me
His voice calls me to the other side
If sleep catches me, won’t get out alive
Feeling your arms around me
Walls closing in surround me
Your ropes they tie, they bind me
Is this real or just in my head?
Up on my feet to face you
Won’t hold me back, I’ll break through
I’ve had enough of this life
Please remove yourself from my head
At the end of my rope, never letting go
Made it through the rain, the pain… vertigo
Rising to the top, standing tall on my feet
Never give up, no surrender, no defeat
Feeling paranoid, unclear, delusional
Standing in my shoes… pain unusual
Face forgettable, just a mark on the wall
A fading memory ‘til nothing’s left at all

This is a great album full of bluesy hard rock. My favorite song is Misery, it's a banger! Another killer track is Running Away, which was featured in one of the Hell House LLC films. One Adam 12
Combining crooned murder ballads with raw, angsty hard rock hooks, Melbourne's The Ugly Kings are a wrecking crew well worth watching. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 15, 2021
