It's my impression that the singer is referring to a girlfriend, and is having trouble deciding whether or not to dump her. "Oh you'll probl'y go to heaven" might refer to her getting a better boyfriend after being dumped by the singer, so not to "Hang (her) head and cry".
The last part before the ending chorus would be the singer contemplating /how/ he should dump the said girlfriend... "Burying her alive" would be brushing her off harshly, only to have her "Come back with a knife".
And then the rest is pretty straight forward as why he wants to get rid of her...
That's my opinion, in any case. The song's more fun with the lyrics thought as how they're put literally, though. C:
@Kanotynes I don’t think the love interest of the singer has any specific gender, it’s up to everyone’s imagination I guess 🤷 You can change and fill out the referring to "you" with any pronouns you want so I’d say the love interest has generally and canonically no gender. The part where you make your own assumptions is your own opinion and a headcanon then, which is totally cool ! This way, anyone can feel included! xD
Lots of love to you and everyone reading this !
