Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bring up the band and play the music out loud
they might have liked you
while everybody is crying
i'll be dancing around
and he was walking along like those shit dont stinks
cause flashing that smile it's a devil his trick
and bring up the band and play the music out loud
Imma hit the last nail in you coffin
cause your love is like a like a corps to me
imma dig a deep hole with my shovel
throwing all our memories
I'll make sure your name is read in a stone
now that the love is gone
gone, gone
it's burried six feet under ground
Shovel shovel
I do the dirt throw
when you know its trouble
you gotta let it go (2x)
Maybe the crime in my mind that you had some business on the side
maybe the crime is that you never really picked the time
to hide your lying, you can't even deny it
other reason why i'm six feet under and i'm flying
Bring up the black suits
bring up the band and play the music out loud
Imma hit the last nail in you coffin
cause your love is like a like a corps to me
imma dig a deep hole with my shovel
throwing all our memories
I'll make sure your name is read in a stone
now that the love is gone
gone, gone
it's burried six feet under ground
Imma bringing flowers
I'm in it cause the see
shots at the bar down like a submarine
maybe start a fight
or just keep it clean
either way i'll celebrate
Imma bringing flowers
I'm in it cause the see
shots at the bar down like a submarine
maybe start a fight
or just keep it clean
either way i'll celebrate
Shovel shovel
I do the dirt throw
when you know its trouble
you gotta let it go
Shovel shovel
I do the dirt throw
when you know its trouble
you gotta let it go
Imma hit the last nail in you coffin
cause your love is like a like a corps to me
imma dig a deep hole with my shovel
throwing all our memories
I'll make sure your name is read in a stone
now that the love is gone
gone, gone
it's burried six feet under ground
I'll make sure your name is read in a stone
now that the love is gone, gone, gone
it's burrieg six feet under ground
Shovel shovel
I do the dirt throw
when you know its trouble
you gotta let it go
Shovel shovel
I do the dirt throw
when you know its trouble
you gotta let it go
The song "Six Feet Under" by Shary-An is a powerful breakup anthem that deals with the emotions of betrayal, hurt, and revenge. The chorus brings us the imagery of a funeral with black suits, a band, and loud music playing while everyone is crying, but the singer will be dancing around. The character of the ex is portrayed quite negatively, as someone who walked along 'like those shit don't stink' and used his smile as a devilish trick. The singer declares that she will hit the last nail in his coffin and that his love is like a corpse to her. She will bury their memories and celebrate the fact that the love is gone. The repetition of 'shovel shovel' reinforces the idea of burial and of getting rid of the past.
In the second verse, we get some insight into the reasons why the relationship failed - maybe due to infidelity or lying that was never hidden well enough. The singer concludes that she is six feet under and flying, meaning that she has let go of the relationship and found freedom. It's interesting to note that the song doesn't truly celebrate the negative actions taken, but rather the outcome of being able to move on and finally let go.
