[Intro: PURE INSTRUMENTAL ONLY, zero vocals, no humming, no mouth sounds, fingerpicked acoustic guitar, tribal percussion building slowly underneath, distant ambient hum] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse 1: dry sung Australian male vocal, flat and understated, minimal acoustic guitar, soft harmonies underneath, tribal pulse barely audible] I quit the job, that whole scene has come and gone Mates only ring when they need something done So I went out the back and dug a hole So I went out the back and dug a hole [Interlude: short instrumental break, acoustic guitar only, tribal pulse settling, 4 bars, no vocals] [Instrumental] [Chorus: sung lead with stacked harmonies, chant-like and hypnotic, auto-tune accents on line endings, tribal percussion underneath, feels like a ritual, same every time] There's something down there I don't know what There's something down there Probably worth a look [Drop: massive EDM drop, drum and bass hits hard, tribal percussion exploding through the mix, ceremonial and unhinged, no lead vocal, maximum energy] [Instrumental] [Post-Chorus: flat sung return, faint auto-tune tail, tribal pulse fading back, abrupt stillness] Down there That's something [Verse 2: same dry sung delivery, observational and plain, acoustic guitar only, tribal pulse underneath, completely unbothered] There was a patch of dirt near the back fence Looked about the same as all the other dirt I picked the spot using nothing but my eyes I picked the spot using nothing but my eyes [Chorus: identical sung delivery, harmonies stacking, tribal percussion returning, chant-like repeat] There's something down there I don't know what There's something down there Probably worth a look [Post-Chorus: quiet flat return, same delivery, tribal pulse settling] Down there That's something [Verse 3: dry and matter-of-fact, slightly slower, acoustic guitar, soft harmonies, tribal rhythm barely present] The dirt ended up all over my hands Some of it carried onto my shirt Could've handled that a bit better probably Could've handled that a bit better probably [Breakdown: tribal percussion alone, slow and deliberate, building tension, no other instruments, no vocals] [Instrumental] [Bridge: soft dry sung vocal, harmonies rising like a gathering, slight auto-tune bleed, sparse guitar underneath, no drums] A hello came from somewhere close by I said one back, seemed like the right thing The hole echoed it back a moment later I thanked the hole and kept on digging [Verse 4: flat calm sung delivery, acoustic guitar, tribal rhythm widening in the mix, detached and certain] The hole got deeper than I'd really planned Sky turned into a tidy rectangle Gave it a wave, just to be neighbourly Gave it a wave, just to be neighbourly [Verse 5: same dry sung tone, slightly slower, harmonies drifting, tribal pulse steady underneath, sense of arrival] Turns out there's a place you end up eventually Few blokes who'd also dug their way in All sitting round there, seemed pretty settled All sitting round there, seemed pretty settled [Chorus: fullest harmonies yet, tribal percussion at peak, chant-like and ceremonial, most settled delivery] There's something down there I don't know what There's something down there Probably worth a look [Drop: largest drop of the song, full EDM and tribal percussion together, maximum intensity, chaotic and ritualistic, no lead vocal] [Instrumental] [Post-Chorus: quiet flat return, tribal pulse fading, near stillness] Down there That's something [Verse 6: quietest verse, minimal acoustic guitar, almost no harmonies, very plain delivery] I climbed back out using my arms and legs Yard looked exactly the same, which felt a bit off The hole's still sitting there in the backyard The hole's still sitting there in the backyard [Chorus: stripped back, acoustic guitar only, harmonies barely present, no drop, intimate and settled] There's something down there I don't know what There's something down there Probably worth a look [Post-Chorus: near silence, trailing off] Down there That's something [Outro: soft fading sung vocal, harmonies drifting apart, tribal pulse returning faintly, acoustic guitar fading] Word's getting round apparently Few more blokes have started digging The hole seems pretty relaxed about it That seems about right for a hole [Fade Out]
