Skinny Puppy - Dig It Lyrics






(Dig it dig it)
Love cannot attach itself to binding ugliness
rot in silence to advise life
the point at hand indifference
resolving of each others needs dress it up in false kindness
create empathy
hungry lie beside name
your game
feelings feeling
sorry that I ever came dissolve taste sweet
nothing corporate
nothing illogical of own accord
with choice of politics
open your eyes to verify the life experience
practitioner of medicine belong until the end
bringing hope scars the point extend eternity

(Dig it dig it)
execute economic slave
(Dig it dig it)
fill it unearthly remains
(Dig it dig it)
freedom as an offering
(Dig it dig it) ask again

Flesh and bone attach itself to ancient monuments
unsurpassed except for us unheard violence departure from the fragrant
ledge fallen magistrate give it back a claim to right value
ecstasy hungry live
decide name
your game
feelings feeling
sorry that I ever came sugar and water dissolves the taste sweet nothing

(Dig it dig it)
execute economic slave
(Dig it dig it)
fill it unearthly remains
(Dig it dig it)
freedom as an offering
(Dig it dig it) ask again

(D...Do ya hear that?
The music.
A band.
Do you hear it?
There's somebody here!)

(Hallelujah)

Boils bitten haggard pick
vomit kicking out
razor slide
black eye shroud
brain bespattered
jaw retaliate begrudgingly
precise as what it seems fear of claim upon the cyst
pent up carnal grin live decide name your game feelings feeling sorry that I ever came too far away game game

(Dig it dig it)
execute economic slave
(Dig it dig it)
fill it unearthly remains
(Dig it dig it)
freedom as an offering
(Dig it dig it)
ask again ask again ask again

  31. s.... ....

    I downloaded this video from a irc server back in 1999 lol :). I think it might still be on a cd if that data isn't corrupt. It doesn't matter though because I was up above it and now i'm down in it.

    s.... ....

    simonriddick not the same

  32. B.... S....

    The 2 top songs on the album that basically established trent reznor as a musical artist, terrible lie and down in it, sound pretty damn close to this 1 song that came out before the phm. I mean they are different but shittttt man.

  33. Y.... ....

  45. J.... J....

    What cracks me up the most..are you 20 something yr olds that haven't got a clue about how things started or ended up!

    J.... J....

    Jade Jaded, you don't give people much credit. Maybe you truly are Jaded :(

    J.... J....

    Claire Kilduff I only speak the truth...Jaded comes from my middle name..Jade..I just added the D...But it's the truth..If you are much younger and just discovering Skinny Puppy..That's awesome...But..people are not investigating these bands enough to know what they're talking about..I was 16 when SP came out..I was a punker then..Throbbing Gristle, and bands the like that actually came before SP..I wasn't crazy about..But, I'm STILL A MAJOR SKINNY PUPPY FAN!!! Last saw them here in the Detroit area in 2006..They're AWESOME in concert.

  46. B.... ....

    The sample at 2:00 comes from The Twilight Zone "Elegy" - Season 1, Episode 20. Had no idea when I listened to this song as a teenager. Thanks Netflix!

    Dig it indeed.

  48. C.... L....

    Before they used this as torture music,me n my friends....R.I.P. Danced to this nonstop at Numbers in Houston,Tx....:)

    C.... L....

    used to dance to this at numbers in downtown Tacoma wa back in the day

    C.... L....

    I wish they would have played Skinny Puppy at our Numbers in Detroit..It's actually a gay after hours club .But, luckily, ALL types of awesome people used to go there..meaning that straight, bi.gay lesbian anyone that wanted to have a good time around good people..I really miss that club😔

    C.... L....

    Christopher Lynch OMG..they only used SP's. and OTHER bands of the like as torture in GITMO BAY...They don't just use SP's music as a torture. "device"...lol..

    C.... L....

    Jade Jaded How do you know? They use Christina Aguilera, Queen, Deicide. Doesn't matter really, as long as you play the same song over and over for 24 hours straight into someone's ears.

  49. s.... n....

    As for as I know, nobody had heard of Skinny Puppy ...goth was relatively underground...industrial was relatively heard of in my small town...being a black chick I kind of freaked people out.SO this was it for me DOPE in every sense of the word

    s.... n....

    if you listened to industrial in the 80's, you knew Skinny Puppy. Testure was on the billboard top 10 for electronic dance music well into the 90's. they also had frequent interviews.

    s.... n....

    Saw them live, and still not as painful to my skull as Tackhead live... I cried it hurt so bad.

  50. J.... Y....

    I remember watching this on MTV back in the 80's high as Fuck on mushrooms. Another ground breaking band from Shredmonton (Edmonton).

    J.... Y....

    Vancouver

    J.... Y....

    Yes your right, the one member who passed was from Edmonton though.

    J.... Y....

    +James Yule RIP Dwayne

    J.... Y....

    Dwayne from Edmonton, with Darrin Huss from Psyche, yes.

    J.... Y....

    Um...Mtv NEVER EVER played ANY. Skinny Puppy songs..You were definitely halucinating!!!

  51. G.... S....

    I have this on a mix compilation (along with Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Ministry, etc) and it is part and parcel in my Cross-Fit studio. Goes good with MMA as well!

  52. D.... B....

    Marilyn manson gets a synth

    D.... B....

    A retarded Marilyn Manson fan posts on Facebook

  53. M.... ....

    game grumps brought me here.

    M.... ....

    Megaxave Game Grumps talked about this?

    M.... ....

    Being down in it lead me here 😮

  54. M.... ....

    ctfu they used this as torture music

    M.... ....

    fredlburrows Surely there's precedent for 'there's no precedent' cases. I don't see it as much of a reason, the phrase is used so much, like it's surprising

    M.... ....

    @Skulls Ain't Dead I see why they used it as torture music. It's fucking garbage.

    M.... ....

    They used Panama as torture music lol

    M.... ....

    You wanna blast Skinny Puppy to try and get me out of somewhere go for it! I'll be singing along completely off key, and whilst up on the roof I'll paint a duck in memory of Dwayne with something sweet in German 🦆

  55. C.... d....

    Duma Key.

  56. S.... S....

    add Throbbing Gristle - make it a three-some x

  57. J.... E....

    Volume is lacking.. One of the best!

  58. M.... R....

    such a fucking rip off of down in it

    M.... R....

    +Mickey Romeo Stop being a d-bag troll. You lost the argument, period. You now realize Dig It did come first. Reznor did say the song inspired Down In It. Of course, he didn't say he "ripped it off". You are talking semantics. Regardless Dig It clearly is not an NIN ripoff... So u lose. Now fuck off, clown.

    M.... R....

    @Vincent Sander I'm sorry, but I just can't let it go that you used the R word. It seems you'll bend the truth to your advantage. For that, I will never be able to take you seriously. I do however, take you as a serious joke.

    M.... R....

    +Mickey Romeo your an idiot

    M.... R....

    @Dave Sipes
    you're a bigger idiot

    M.... R....

    Next time you should research before you make a complete ass out of yourself.

  59. J.... .....

    I like Skinny Puppy AND Nine Inch Nails..Fuck me two times, right?

    J.... .....

    I hate to burst your bubble, but Skinny Puppy started in 1982..NIN.came along much later.

    J.... .....

    wicked tune

    J.... .....

    Francesco Salva that's weird as fuck because I LOVE Skinny Puppy but can't get into NIN. I think they're boring and overrated, aside from a few songs which are cool. like I just listened to "Down in It" because I heard it was inspired by "Dig It" and imho it was so boring and the lyrics were total garbage...

    J.... .....

    Jakub .Bouchner Filth Pig and Dark Side were bad thrash??? Lol those were great albums, nothing thrash like at all. Even the first 2 albums Al made with Victor, Raven and the others were great. Also Id hardly call it thrash, they have more in common with Psalm 69,or more accurately Fear Factory, than Raining Blood Only truely bad Ministry albums were the 3 new ones and the first one

    J.... .....

    Jakub .Bouchner qq

  60. S.... J....

    HIS FATHER DYED OF CANCER AND BEING IN A BAND THAT FOCUSES ON THE THINGS THAT ARE DONE TO ANIMALS AS WELL AS MANEY OTHER TOPICS VERY FEW PEOPLE CHOOSE TO SPEAK OF LOVE THEM

  61. C.... R....

    That Olive Garden ad really set the tone for the video.

    C.... R....

    That was part of the video. Skinny Puppy is played in all Olive Gardens now

    @Scott Woodall Same here.

  62. C.... B....

    Listen to Prokoviev's "Dance Of The Knights" and then this.  Like the NAZIs should never have fucked with the Russians, radical Islam should never have fucked with the people capable of making music like this.

  63. m.... ....

    Sounds like "Bruce Lee" by Underworld.

    m.... ....

    +maximum96 Other way around.

  64. C.... ....

    okaaaay then..

  65. H.... D....

    I hear Terrible Lie in this more than I do Down In It.. weird

    H.... D....

    I do too.

    H.... D....

    Sounds almost identical to down in it. Nin jacked them.

    H.... D....

    @Vincent Sander So what, it is s till a masterpiece

    H.... D....

    @Vincent Sander I like more Trent's version, his songs are more rhytmic, actually it is funny how in Down it, he screams shut up to the choirs in here hahaha.

  66. N.... W....

    Duma Key.... Stephen King

    N.... W....

    Let's paint!

  67. s.... ....

    Oh my word...that sucked ass. Did they murder a sheep in the middle of the song or was it that stupid looking chick honking on the floor? I thought this was a joke making fun of goth bands until i looked it up. Hahahaha. Hard to believe solid artists like NIN and MM cite these guys as an influence... guy looks like the singer from the cure on meth...

    s.... ....

    "The singer of the cure on meth" That's pretty rad as fuck bro!

    s.... ....

    Hating on Skinny Puppy? That's a paddlin'.

    s.... ....

    superHAPPYrocks LOL..Of course it's NOT real...They show things to shock people into realizing how they torture animals..Trying to get people to stop experimenting on animals..all snuff vids..Get it? Then. Dig it!

    s.... ....

    I love both NIN and Marilyn Manson but Skinny Puppy blows them out of the water.

    s.... ....

    Skinny Puppy is better than both. I LOVE NIN to death but I love skinny puppy that much more. And fuck off Marylin Manson is fucking horseshit emo music.

  68. a.... ....

    I was 14. That was awesome !

  69. R.... N....

    "Did yuh hear that, music, it's a band"
    Dig it, Last chance 1989 mixed tape I made! and some Fascist Jock Itch
    KMFDM off UAIOE
    Ministry - Stigmata
    Etc...
    Damn good days

  70. A.... H....

    I like the drums in skinny puppy but apart from that they don't really do it for me. Influential band and all that but not really down my street.

    A.... H....

    I like assimilate

  71. R.... N....

    ... i was up above it ...

    R.... N....

    As much as I love down in it it is kind of a rip off of this song I love em both but dig it just does more for me

    R.... N....

    But now I'm down in it

    R.... N....

    @JapaneseRandomHeroez I prefer Down it, because it is more richful in sounds and more rhytmic

    R.... N....

    @el coyote feo Except that this was released on Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse, which was released in 1986.

  72. J.... W....

    Skinny Puppy took a huge shit on snoop dogs face.

  73. b.... ....

    SOMETHING NEW https://soundcloud.com/adolf-judas/poly

  74. M.... M....

    I love Skinny Puppy and this is a classic!!!!!!!!! RAWK it!!!!!!! 

  75. A.... W....

    i don't understand this clip but i love the music : )

  76. D.... ....

    This sucks--Trent Reznor did a much better song with his rip off--ha ha.

    D.... ....

    Pop song yes. Better not.

    D.... ....

    No I love NIN to death but this is better than Down in it. Down in it is a good song but this is superior.

  77. S.... K....

    david otero poops his pants 

  78. E.... E....

    dig it as an offering

  79. V.... i....

    Or maybe they're friends. PIGFACE. Wake up!

  80. P.... ....

    What the hell Trent Reznor has a soft ass voice and sings real slow ,dumbass

  81. j.... h....

    Hey! to all ! And David... yes Trent Reznor kills this,...however.... back in the day Skinny Puppy and Ministry were the alternative "awesome" don't rip it down! 

  82. j.... ....

    Trent Reznor would have NOTHING without stealing Ogres identity

    j.... ....

    @mollycrime why do you seem to despise ministry? i'm just asking because i would get how people call it garbage, but it's not an immensely popular band, so there must be a valid reason to dislike them.

    j.... ....

    Eh, some people view it as that but I kinda like it. He realized alcohol was making him "genuinely miserable" and ended up stopping that vampire trend or whatever he was supposed to be. I personally favor Ministry over SP, but thats just me. FR tho, fuck eminem.

    j.... ....

    @Midian Black Dave Ogilvie remixed a couple of Marilyn Manson tracks into what became "Kiddie Grinder" and "Dance of the Dope Hats" from _Smells Like Children._

    j.... ....

    He “ripped off David Bowie as well

  83. w.... w....

    me and my boys used to jam this when we were prisoners at gitmo  ROCK ON FUCKERS!!!

    w.... w....

    How about Whitehouse or Merzbow?

    @abc idk, trent reznor's version of "der kommissar" with option 30 is pretty fucking bad

    w.... w....

    @UPevo8 yes the sent them a bill for 666,000

    w.... w....

    The BeeGees song was my favorite at the detention center, so they switched me to the Barney theme. I told them everything they wanted to know to get that BeeGees back on.

  84. J.... L....

    One of my favorite industrial songs EVAAAAAAAR, other than Front242's "Rhythm of Time".

  85. h.... ....

    Apparently Skinny Puppy's music is used to torture inmates in Guantanamo Bay...

    h.... ....

    NIN too!!!

  86. t.... ....

    uh ya, is this a real band or a prank?

    O.... B....

  88. M.... I....

    quite disturbing lol

  89. H.... ....

    I heard this was being used at Gitmo. I can't imagine why.

  90. V.... R....

    Do not compare penis with finger!

  91. L.... ....

    I like both this and NIN's "Down In It." Gotta problem?

    L.... ....

    I giggled loudly reading this. Me too!

    L.... ....

    I wish these Illisit people would quit talking Dogshit. They like to Testure patience. They annoy me to Death, and belong in a Scrapyard. What S.K.U.M.M...

    L.... ....

    Shut up

    L.... ....

    Yeah, I do. NIN puffs on fat cocks.

  92. M.... ....

    I'm going to see them Friday and Dallas with a VIP. should be an interesting night.

  93. M.... ....

    I'm going to see them Friday and Dallas with a VIP. should be an interesting night.

  94. �.... ....

    In my opinion all of you are idiots because you can't simply realize that stuff like NIN are post-industrial style and its simply ridiculous to compare that pop bullshit to bands like Skinny, Ministry, Kmfdm, Depeche Mode etc.

    You are stupid to compare pop to the actual roots.

    �.... ....

    What the fuck???

    �.... ....

    you have no idea what u are talking about mate

    �.... ....

    @frozenintears You too
