| My father smelled my baby daughter's head and said, "Smell that youth!" He's digging for fire too. | |

| It's like: "Are you looking for gold and treasures?" "No, I'm looking for destruction". Fire has always been something we've depended on, yet so dangerous and never all tame. Isn't "digging for fire" a way of saying that you desire something that might be your own destruction? Fire is so beautiful, but it'll burn you if you come to close, you know.. anyway, i love this song. | |

| I think it's like "Are you looking for treasures?" "No, I'm looking for destruction." Digging for fire...fire has always been something we've depended on, yet so dangerous. Isn't digging for it a way of saying that you desire your own destruction? And enjoy it. I love this song. | |

| :) Elders understand what is really important in life. The material possestions aren't going to make you happy. That finding the fire... ...and fire as the driving force for all things. Destruction breeds creation. So they not only want to find passion, but new ideas to fuel that "fire" I also think that the old woman is kneelign in prayer, trying to find life within religon. And the old man is troubled deeply.. like after being troubled you can not sleep.. and he is going to end up in that place. ................heh. | |

| I always felt that this song was about futility. How long will it take for you to find fire in the Earth? Forever. So there's no real point in digging for it. It's about older people trying to figure out if life was really worth it. | |

| In my opinion, one of the worst missteps the Pixies ever made. I don't know why, but I just really, REALLY hate this song. Still love the Pixies, though. | |
