At the same time, they released the music video for the song as well.

When asked what the song was about, Matthew Bellamy said “When I was writing this song, I was looking to counteract the current negativity in the world and give inspiration, optimism and hope to people to fight for the causes they believe in; that as individuals we can choose to change the world if we want to.”

The director of the music video, Lance Drake, said “The song is about survival and fighting the odds – when I heard this song I knew I wanted to do an action-packed narrative..."

Lyrics

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

And face a firing squad against all the odds you will find a way

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

When friends are threw on the ground and they try to divide us you must find a way

We have entered the fray and we will not obey we must find a way yeah

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 Find faith

We won't let them divide We will never abide we will find a way
