Paul Banks - Paid For That [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Gun fire explosion, I want that guarantee
Sometimes I think I coexist with me
And one side makes me old
And one side makes me struggle
I was on the nightshift, I said I’ll never run a fight like this

In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
‘cause in my moon mine it’s a summer night and I watch it break

Change my full conclusion when I was 17
Sometimes I feel diminished by routine
It’s one night, two years cold, next she’s making me doubles
I’m drinking moonshine, because I’ve had enough of starlight

In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
‘cause in my moon mine it’s a summer night and I watch it break

So just sit back, I don’t mind
See how long I’ve been chased
Don’t you see I have to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that
And now you’ll pay me back

Death will come by ocean, I want that guarantee
Sometimes I think I’m offering a dream

In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like my briefcase
‘cause in my moon mine it’s a summer night and I watch it break

So just sit back, I don’t mind
See how long I’ve been chased
Don’t you see I have to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that
And now you’ll pay me back
I paid for that, in very many steps
I paid for that, now you’ll pay me back
Now you’ll pay me back, now you’ll pay me back
Now you’ll pay me back, now you’ll pay me back
