Dig
Alex Who? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wrap you up in sheets of white
As I lay on you the deepest sleep
Under the darkness of the night
One last look at that beautiful face,
Then I wipe away every last trace.
So I dig in deep to bury you
Oh
And all that shit you′ve put me through
Right next to our place by the sycamore tree
Cuz darling at this point it's you or it′s me
So I dig in deep to bury you
I know you'll be back to haunt my dreams
And your ghost will walk this home
But baby I ain't losing sleep
Over secrets in these ones
One last look at that beautiful face,
Then I wipe away every last trace.
Oh
So I dig in deep to bury you
Oh
And all that shit you′ve put me through
Right next to our place by the sycamore tree
Cuz darling at this point it′s you or it's me
So I dig in deep to bury you
Where I know that you can′t make a sound
And I know that you'll never be found
Gonna put you 6 feet underground
Oh
(My love)
So I dig in deep to bury you (my love)
And all that shit you′ve put me through
Right next to our place by the sycamore tree
Cuz darling at this point it's you or it′s me
So I dig in deep to bury you (my love)
Cuz u won't make a sound
Where you're 6 feet underground
My love
The lyrics of the song "Dig in" by Alex Who? narrate a story of burying someone close to the singer, portraying vivid emotions of love and hatred at the same time. The singer promises to bury that someone, possibly a former lover. The promise is the last remaining one, which the singer is determined to keep. The person will be buried under sheets of white, while they both lay under the darkness of the night, suggesting a personal burial instead of the traditional one. The singer seems to have been hurt, and they feel the only way to move on is by burying this individual completely, along with all the hurt and pain they caused.
The singer knows that the deceased will visit him/her via dreams or nightmares, and maybe their haunting could be a representation of how hard it is to erase the memory of the person completely. The singer admits to not losing sleep over secrets that they hold. Then, the song shifts to the chorus, where the singer says goodbye to the person and buries them deep, possibly next to a personal spot where they previously spent time together. However, they also express love at the same time, evident in the line "my love," which could either mean the love shared by the two or the love/hate relationship between the singer and the person.
In conclusion, "Dig in" is a song filled with emotions of heartbreak, pain, and love. It shows how someone can be hurt to an extent that the only way to free themselves is by burying the source of the pain. The lyrics also depict how love and hate sometimes go hand in hand.
