Dig Down is the first single after Drones, and according to Matt it was inspired by him going to church and hearing gospel as a kid. According to him, too, the song is about hope and optimism:
We’re trying to send a message of hope and optimism, due to what’s happening in the world
“Dig Down” was...
[Verse 1]
When hope and love has been lost and you fall to the ground
You must find a way
When the darkness descends and you're told it's the end
You must find a way
When God decides to look the other way and a clown takes the throne
We must find a way
Face the firing squad, against all the odds
You will find a way
[Chorus]
Dig down
Dig down
Dig down and find faith
When you're close to the edge
With a gun to your head
You must find a way
[Verse 2]
When friends are thin on the ground and they try to divide us
We must find a way
We have entered the fray and we will not obey
We must find a way, yeah
[Chorus]
Dig down
Dig down
Dig down and find faith
When they've left you for dead and you can only see red
You must find a way
Dig down
Dig down
Dig down, find faith
We won't let them divide, we will never abide
We will find a way
[Outro]
Dig down (Woah-oh-oh)
Dig down (Woah-oh-oh)
Dig down (Woah-oh-oh)
Faith (Woah-oh-oh)
Dig down (Woah-oh-oh)
Dig down (Woah-oh-oh)
Faith
