Dig

This is a different sort of post. I was listening to Dig by the band Incubus. And I just felt like throwing a quick view out their. This is one of my favorite songs of all time.

We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy 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.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone

Ohh...

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, ohhhh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhhhh

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.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone.
Ohhh, each other
When everything else is gone.

A great song. Beautifully constructed. What is he saying here? What is he talking about? Friendship? Love? Both? Is this to anyone? A guy? A girl? It's one of those. It's all of those. That's why music is so important. Everyone connects in their own way, and no one is wrong. As far out there as they might get. He's talking about love (all sorts). We are all human. Emotional. But deep down, deep down there is a bond, an open hand. Dig down past the superficial bullshit and status. It's a reminder when a loved one is acting in ways that isn't really them. Dig. Dig. I just like the word. Digging past the shells and shelters. To the core, the soul if you want to see it that way. Buried hidden truths and treasures. A beautiful song indeed.
