Dig Ophelia by Rasputina
Performed by
RasputinaAbout
Inspired by the character of Ophelia in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, who, distraught after Hamlet rejects her, dies after drowning in a river. It is ambiguous whether or not her death was a suicide. Getrude, Hamlet’s mother, describes the scene:
There is a willow grows aslant a brook,
That shows his hoar...
Dig Ophelia Lyrics
Dig Ophelia, consider it dug
Flowers madness and polar bear rug
Here's the water, just ankle deep high
Lay back and relax and look up at the sky
Your eyes never close, your mind's not at rest
Lay back, get waterlogged
Give us a kiss
Water spreads the small seed
Water kills the tall weed
Ophelia
Cut the stem and you'll see how you feel
Floating orchids just ain't no big deal
Never knowing's like knowing too much
Tap the table, oh here's more bad luck
Your eyes never close, your mind's not at rest
Lay back, get waterlogged
Give us a kiss
Water spreads the small seed
Water kills the tall weed
Ophelia
