I wanted to say something profound about this song, but I reckon I'll hold off on that for just a while. Instead, I wanted to point out that some variant of "digging" occurs in at least two other Maynard-songs (though 1 isn't tOOl).

"I'll keep DIGGING 'til I feel something."
--Stinkfist
"Someone feed the monkey while I DIG in search of China"
--Weak and Powerless (APC)

Perhaps this provides some link between the three, such as a sex-theme. (OK, that's not an entirely profound discovery for Stinkfist, but perhaps it lends some additional meaning to Weak and Powerless.) Or, perhaps these are songs Maynard had more control over, and he was putting his signature on them.

There may be more, but I only had this epiphany today. I'd love it if others would kick in with other examples or possible interpretations of the "dig" link.
