Down The Hatch Lyrics

I spent the last ten years beneath the ground
Open this safety hatch and let me out
I know it's not my fault but I'm not sure how this started
All that I know right now is that I want out, yeah

If I'm so smart why can't I understand that I've got my head buried in the sand?
I'd love to cast some blame but I'm not sure who to point to
All that I know right now is that I want out, yeah
I want out, yeah

I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I'd like to dig myself out of this hole
And I will dig myself out of this hole

I'm sick and tired of being underground
I say it's high time that you bailed me out
I can't believe my luck
This is how it always ends
All that I know right now is that I want out, yeah
I want out, yeah

I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I'd like to dig myself out of this hole
And I will dig myself out of this hole if I could

I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta dig myself out of this hole
I gotta....

This Scene Is Dead

I spent the last ten years beneath the ground
Open this safety hatch and let me out
I know it's not my fault but I'm not sure how this started
All that I know right now is that I want out, yeah

If I'm so smart why can't I understand that I've got my head buried in the sand?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It kind of reminds me of being in a relationship that isn't good for him, but he can't get out of it. Maybe his girlfriend is really dominating and completely controls him.

I totally thought it could have been a LOST reference as well. Does anyone else know for sure?
