This is a song about an ill-fated romance. The relationship has died and the couple still lives together and the male counterpart is saying all the love that was once between them is gone and yet some of it still lingers inside of him (my girl I'm tied to you but all is different now) even though a part of him is still tied to her it's not the same as it was.(I've shot you down) in this stanza he's saying he has defeated the lingering feelings that were left symbolizing it with saying I've shot you down today I will bury your love to my hunting ground
