Valve 2011 ARG: Dan Brainerd - Hole in the Ground

Found in secret level of The Wonderful End of the World, accessible by holding down U while starting the Arcadia level.

LYRICS (From the Valve ARG wiki):

INTRO (Before The Song Begins):
Hehe.
1, 2, 3, 4...

CHORUS:
I don't know a cave from a hole in the ground
I wandered an age through a cool and dark cage
Tried finding my way by touch, taste, sense, sound
(1st time) But no way out of hell, as the sin is on stage
(2nd time) But I'm here and I hope I won't see old age
(3rd time) But I figure the solitude's my only wage
(4rd time) And long past the point of pretending to rage

VERSE 1:
I wonder what happened up there to my truck
Left parked with a load, no doubt long since been towed
I never expected to have such strange luck
I should have obeyed what that road sign forebode

Cavefish is delicious, but only if cooked
You'll mess it up bad, well let's leave it at that
I've eaten whenever, whatever I've hooked
I'd kill for the thrill of a meal with some fat

(CHORUS)

VERSE 2:
I don't know my soul from a hole in the dark
I'd wake from my sleep and I'd silently weep
I once knew a girl who loved me as a lark
My pain, she explains, is what made me so deep

I thought I was ever so lonesome at home
It needled at me until I couldn't see
The forest for trees nor the sea for the foam
And I took up the job that was all absentee

(CHORUS)

VERSE 3:
The miles and also the hours were strained
Kept my hands on the wheel, it was solid and real
And wind blew and snow fell and storms rumbled and rained
And I drove through it all but found I could still feel

Inspire me world, I was writing a song
Saw a sign for the cave, thought "artistic" and "brave"
I grabbed my guitar and I moseyed along
and though I hate to state it, I entered my grave

(CHORUS)

[NintenDangerous]

The song is called "Cave", why is there a picture of a hole in the ground?

[hogiaus]

@NintenDangerous It's a russian salt mine

[KentButterworth]

I actually like this song a lot

[MikhailLives]

I've heard JoCo's songs over and over and over and heard him live, this definitely is not him.

[MrBean35000vrg]

i bet this is a ,, when you see it you'll shit bricks " picture xD

[kinxofsepluv]

This song is actually more appropriate for minecraft.

[AesculapiusPiranha]

I still wonder what the freak the C and his G thing was supposed to mean.

[Theonegamefreak]

@SamuelKPeter Hole in the ground with dead bodies.

[AgentMonkeyMan1]

Dude the valve ARG has a suprisingly GREAT soundtrack.

[SamuelKPeter]

This song reminds me of uber tubers.

[euklid216]

gets annoying as shit after you play the level the 1000th time.

[MarshmallowRadiation]

I get it! "Exile Vilify" is the first act of the game, "Hole in the Ground" is the second act, [song missing for act 3], and "Want You Gone" is the end.
