Dig Me Out Lyrics

dig me out
dig me in
outta this mess baby outta my head
whaddya want whaddya know
one to get started three till we go
dig me out
dig me in
outta this mess baby outta my head
dig me out
dig me in
outta my body outta my skin

do you get nervous making me go
get into your sores get into my things
do ya get nervous watching me bleed
dig me out
dig me in
outta this mess baby outta my head
dig me out
dig me in
outta my body outta my skin

I wear your rings and sores
in me in me it shows

I have your hands your holes
in me in me it shows
oh god let me in
there's nowhere else to go
oh god let me in
and let me go

dig me out
dig me in
outta this mess baby outta my head
dig me out
dig me in
outta my body outta my skin

In Carrie's autobiography she says that most of Corin's lyrics on this album were either about their breakup (Corin and Carrie had previously been romantically involved) or about Corin's new relationship with Lance Bangs, who she would go on to marry.

So I think this is about wanting Lance to dig her out of the emotional turmoil caused by Carrie breaking up with her.

My Interpretation

this song rocks.

Corin was the leader singer of Cadallaca. Carrie also had Bangs.

It's a song that can be seen on a couple of levels. One level has a woman not wanting to have sex with her lover, but since he gets violent when she says no, she has no choice but to give into him. He is abusive to her, but she thinks she can't get out of it.

My Interpretation

@quamp Another level is she's finding herself unable to think about anything but her lover, and it's making her scared.

Great Song, i LOVE feminists and the untimate femmes which started this group...Bikini Kill. Way to go Kinney!!!

bikini kill was not the first band of the riot grrl movement, if that's what you're trying to say. corin had heavens to betsy during that time, and carrie had excuse 17, so they were playing their part. (also, kathleen is not femme. she's straight.)

X-Ray Spex and The Slits both pre-dated the riot grrrrrrrrrls by a good 15 years or so.
