Ditch
Unearthing Betrayal: Olivia Jean's 'Ditch' Reveals a Journey Beyond Deceit
Lyrics
I know you said it
I acknowledge that you said something
I know you meant it
I understand that you meant what you said
I'm here to tell you
I'm here to inform you
I won't forget it
I won't forget what you said
Go dig a ditch, go dig a ditch, go dig a ditch
Repeated: Urging someone to engage in a menial task, possibly as a metaphor for facing consequences
Good intentions are none of your concern
Your good intentions are not relevant
If you're just waiting for me to burn
If you're waiting for my downfall
Go dig a ditch, go dig a ditch, you little...
Repeated: Encouraging someone to face consequences or take responsibility
You satisfied?
Are you content or pleased?
You got your way
You have achieved what you wanted
Setting traps for a reaction
Setting traps to provoke a reaction
Because all you're given's only a fraction
Because what you have is only a small part
It's not enough, it's not enough, don't say you're tough
It's insufficient, don't claim to be strong
Between each bitter word I hear
Among hurtful words, each one is loud and clear
You might as well be screaming it in my ear
Similar to screaming directly into my ear
It's only luck, it's only luck, you little...
It's only luck, possibly implying success is not solely due to skill
You satisfied?
Repeated: Are you content or pleased?
You got your way
Repeated: You have achieved what you wanted
You got your way
-How much further do you think you'll go
Questioning how much more the person intends to do
Someday I hope you'll know
Hoping that someday the person will understand or realize
I sacrificed for you, did all that I could do
Expressing personal sacrifice and effort for the person, but reaching a limit
Yeah I'm through
Indicating the end or conclusion
Go dig a ditch
Repeated: Urging someone to engage in a menial task, possibly as a metaphor for facing consequences
Go dig a ditch
-Go dig a ditch
-Go dig a ditch
-Go dig a ditch
-You little...
Repeated: Encouraging someone to face consequences or take responsibility
