Bury the Shovel
Breaking Free from Love's Grave: Bury the Shovel Insights
Lyrics
Got a long list of things to do
Expressing a sense of having a significant number of tasks to accomplish.
And it begins and ends with gettin' over you
The central focus is on moving on from a past relationship.
I can't quit 'til I'm through
Commitment to persist until the emotional healing process is complete.
I get up with the sun and I go down with the moon
Symbolizing a continuous effort, starting with the sunrise and ending with the moon's descent.
Pain and tears can't be all there is
Questioning if pain and tears are the sole components of the current emotional state.
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Expressing a feeling of deep emotional distress or exhaustion.
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Labeling the person as troublesome and a source of difficulty.
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel
Deciding to end the relationship and move forward, metaphorically burying the emotions.
Gonna dig me a hole and make it deep
Symbolic act of creating a separation, a metaphorical burial by digging a hole.
I'm gonna lay it down, what's left of us
Intending to let go of the remnants of the relationship and its memories.
And then put this thing to sleep
Finalizing the process of moving on and putting the emotional attachment to rest.
Let my soul rest in peace
Expressing a desire for inner peace and emotional closure.
I'm gotta nail down the lid on these stone cold memories
Ensuring closure by sealing off and preserving the memories.
Pain and tears can't be all there is
Reiterating the belief that pain and tears alone cannot define the emotional experience.
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Continuing to express a deep emotional state, possibly of being overwhelmed or defeated.
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Reaffirming the view that the person is a source of trouble and difficulty.
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel
Repeating the decision to end the relationship and move forward, emphasizing closure.
Pain and tears can't be all there is
Reiterating the belief that there must be more to life than just pain and tears.
Is it any wonder I'm feeling six feet under?
Reflecting the continued sense of feeling deeply overwhelmed or defeated.
Baby, you're nothing but too much trouble
Affirming the perception of the person as a source of trouble and difficulty.
Gotta bury this love and bury the shovel
Repeating the commitment to end the relationship and bury the associated emotions.
