Cover art for Digging a Ditch lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

i think this song is about digging a ditch to bury his troubles, worries and dissapointments. not so much as digging his own grave. "unplug the t.v., turn of your phone" is just saying get away by yourself and dig your ditch.

I agree with this one actually, I think it truly is the idea to bury all your worries and all the negative things that have got you down, and gotten in your way. and you know shut down all the distractions, the tv and the phone, just focus on yourself. try to feel better and more positive about life.
