Testi di We Did Not Need to Open It to Know It Was There - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

We Did Not Need to Open It to Know It Was There (originale)

Our apartment was breathing
Like each groan was its last will and testament
Or as if every single secret it heard was a weight on its chest
It just had to get off
And the marching band that follows my upstairs neighbor around
Is keeping feverish time during all hours of the night
I have always envied how fast you fall asleep

(traduzione)

Il nostro appartamento respirava
Come ogni gemito fosse la sua ultima volontà e testamento
O come se ogni singolo segreto che ha sentito fosse un peso sul petto
Doveva solo scendere
E la banda musicale che segue il mio vicino di sopra
Sta mantenendo il tempo febbrile durante tutte le ore della notte
Ho sempre invidiato la velocità con cui ti addormenti
