YDG?!

i don't really understand why YDG stands for yadig?! tbh because they did a 'sequel' to YDG on The Flood and released a song by the name of 'Still YDGn" which says 'still yadig'n?!" like... what???

i like the lyrics to all of these songs, but it kind of seems like they use some of the same lyrics and concepts of songs in other songs and stuff ;o But, i still love the message of all the lyrics to all the songs. :)

I feel really stupid for asking but what does YDG mean anyways? I'm new listening to Of Mice And Men.

Here's what I noticed.

"We're not the same, because I dig, and I dig you too." If he digs her, and they're not the same, maybe this means she doesn't 'dig' him? Could also add some meaning to the title beyond "Do you understand?" He could actually be asking if she likes him.

And of course, the "Run from your problems but you cannot run from yourself." Implies that she is the source of her problems.

I kind of get the feeling that the theme is something like his partner destroying their relationship (In his eyes anyway) and then blaming it on him.

Uhh there's no ?! in the original title is there? Cause I only have YDG.What does YDG even mean? I'm new to listening to Of Mice and Men.

It sucks it doesn't flow with their new song Still Ydg'n :(

I'm pretty sure this song is Austin calling out Attack Attack. About how far off base they've gone, and how they're no better then he is. That he came to grips with who he is, and also understands who they are now (I dig, and I dig you to). They used to live for something better (their beliefs and faith), now they live for themselves, and are sell outs. I think it ends with him basically saying he hasn't given up on them yet. Meh, I dunno, just spit-ballin'.

For everyone asking: YDG means "You dig?"

I get the feeling that the song is sending the message that Austin is supporting his fans or a friend, understands their troubles and will be by their sides while they make the step get the most out of life and be who they are. When he says "We're not the same," I think he means that he has come into his independence.

Also, I think Austin is trying to tell his fans not to put him on too high of a pedestal because he's like everyone else in the first line OR he means he actually cares about fans rather than putting on a pose, which connects with brokeneggshells really valid thoughts on him dissing Attack Attack!

This is just my spin, though.

I like all their song's they're amazing artist's and as a music fanatic i observe a lot of different types of rock and found i love most of it and being a lyric writer myself see that they have a lot of qualities that i myself should pickup on

Greaaat band, haha. but it sure as hell sounds like it hurts when austin screams :o
