KSOTD: Digs – Incubus

A relatively new one from the Incubus stock. Simple yet profound lyrics that translate how we count on some people, call them friend, confidant, whoever, ones who we rely upon to be there for us especially when things seem a little rough or downright overwhelming. Not the usual feel good rhyme about “I’ll be there for you” but rather more intense, something that comes into your mind when life seems more grave and through the grimness you appreciate having someone by your side.

I love the line that goes “If I turn into another, dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me.” This line talks about how people might lose themselves at times in their life, but u can always rely on ur friends to show u what u always were..

Mood: Stand by me buddy!

Thanx to Harneet for the suggestion!!

Digs

Incubus

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

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
Oh! Each other when everything else is gone
Oh! Each other when everything else is gone
