Incubus's "Dig"

The video isn't the original, but I like it a lot better. It is very symbolic and very subtle (notice how the pieces of head being dug away are hearts). The artist does a very good job portraying emotion as well in the faces of his characters.



"Dig"

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 hard 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.


This is a great song, and I am sure you can tell why. I love how moving the lyrics are, as they deal with apology and how the singer is so dependent on his friend to help him when he does something stupid, or at least be understanding. I feel very attached to this song. there have been times when i get ahead of myself and do or say things that i don't mean, but my friends are still there to help me get back on track, and they remain close to me just the same.
