Lyrics and translation
Original
Scratch beneath the surface of what you think you know.
Further down the rabbit hole, how far does it go?
Curiosity will get you closer to the proof, yeah, if you really, really need to know.
You gotta dig, down to the heart of matters.
You gotta dig, shine a light on the truth.
You gotta dig, down to what really matters. Can you dig, dig what I'm telling you?
Follow the trees and flowers, the dust and the decay.
You're the superpower, blow it all away.
The deadwood that surrounds you, go burn it to the ground.
Those phony friends you can't defend will only let you down.
So fall down on your knees and get your fingers in the dirt, if all salvation's buried there below.
Better dig.
You gotta dig, down to the heart of matters.
You gotta dig, -shine a light on the. . . -Shine a light on the matters!
You gotta dig, down to what really matters.
Can you -dig, dig what I'm telling you?
-Follow the -trees and flowers. -Trees and flowers.
-The dust and the decay. -Ay-ya-ya-ya-ya.
-You're the superpower. -Tell me it's mine.
So -blow it all. . . -Blow it all away.
-You gotta dig. -Blow it all away.
Down to the heart of matters.
You gotta dig, shine a light on the truth.
You gotta dig, down to what really matters.
Can you dig, dig what I'm telling -you?
-You have power, superpower, you dig deeper. . .
