Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all you're shown are lies
Black ink put on this page
Above the dotted line
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah, there's this hole in my soul
Yeah, I'd give it away if it's what you say
This hold
It grows, can you feel it too?
I mean, if that's what you want
It's up to you
Dig to fake, it's give and take
And hollow offerings
Dig to probe intention through
These lines of questioning
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Yeah, there's this hole in my soul
So how far do you wanna go?
Yeah, I'd give it away if it's what you say
This hold
It grows, can you feel it too?
I mean, if that's what you want
It's up to you
I'm still reeling from the mess I made
Still reeling from the mess I made
Still reeling from the mess I made
Still reeling from the mess I made
The lyrics to oso oso's song "Dig" explore the theme of vulnerability and the idea of giving oneself away to someone else. The opening lines, "Hard to know what you've been shown, when all you're shown are lies" suggest that it's difficult to know what's real and what's not when you're constantly being lied to. The use of black ink on the page above the dotted line symbolizes the idea of a contract or an agreement that may not necessarily be honest or sincere.
The chorus, "Yeah, there's this hole in my soul, so how far do you wanna go? Yeah, I'd give it away if it's what you say, this hold it grows, can you feel it too? I mean, if that's what you want, it's up to you" further emphasizes the notion of giving oneself away to someone else. The "hole in my soul" suggests a void that needs to be filled, and the willingness to give it away if it's what the other person wants.
The second verse, "Dig to fake, it's give and take, and hollow offerings, dig to probe intention through these lines of questioning" talks about the idea of digging deeper to uncover someone's true intentions. The use of the word "fake" implies that people often put up a facade, and it's up to the other person to dig deeper to find out what they're really like. The "lines of questioning" are a way to probe someone's true intentions, rather than accepting what they show on the surface.
In the final lines, "I'm still reeling from the mess I made, still reeling from the mess I made" the singer acknowledges that giving oneself away can lead to messy situations, and they are still grappling with the consequences of their actions.
Overall, the lyrics to "Dig" explore the complexities of relationships and the vulnerability that comes with giving oneself away to someone else. It emphasizes the importance of looking beyond the surface and digging deeper to uncover the truth.

Yeah, there's this hole in my soul

These lines of questioning
The inquiries during the investigation
I'm still reeling from the mess I made
I'm still feeling the aftermath of the mistakes I made in the past
Still reeling from the mess I made
I'm still trying to come to terms with the consequences of my actions
Still reeling from the mess I made
I'm still struggling to deal with the mess I created
Still reeling from the mess I made
I'm not able to move on from the chaos I caused

Oso Oso needs to keep this bassist… unreal harmony! Best live version on the YouTube.
DetBenMalone
That’s the bassist from Runaway Brother

@DetBenMalone thanks, it totally is! I thought he looked familiar… was he just moonlighting with them for a bit? I really hope they can find a workable replacement for Tavish too, sad stuff.
DetBenMalone
@Wronghanded1 I think they were touring together at the time or something. Been a while since I’ve talked to any of them.
Dante Rosales
I was really hoping for a mudvayne cover
