Hello friends, here is another one! This time I'm afraid I just can't grab the meaning at all... What's the difference between these two similar sentences? I made the scene from day to day I don’t dig the scene, I guess I’m too restless Thank you very much!

Hi Polly

"I don't dig the scene" means "I don't like or am not interested in what's happening here".

"make the scene" could mean "participate in something/be part of what's happening" (It's hard to be sure from your sentence because there isn't much context.)
