Lyrical Post #8

[sirea1182]

"'Dig' was toiled over the most I remember because it is the kind of song that is completely new to us. Structurally, integrally, and fundamentally different. And thank- fucking- God. Lyrically, it's a nod to camaraderie. And without pepperin' ya'lls interpretation of it too much, it speaks to the importance of forgiveness and compassion. Little alien concepts that some choose to toy with on occasion." - Brandon Boyd, vocalist for Incubus

So, on that note, this one is dedicated to all my friends who've been there for me and helped me out. Love you guys ♥


We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easier to identify
Look me in the eye
And ask for forgiveness
We’ll make a pact to never speak that word again
Yes, you are my friend

We all have something that digs at us
At least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you’ll count on the me from yesterday

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone

We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try
We all have someone that digs at us
At least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you’ll act as a clever medicine

If I turn into another
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me
Sing this song
Remind me that we’ll always have each other
When everything else is gone
