Lyrics & Translation

[English]
"Thank you" is
not enough for what you did.
I just undid a mistake, that's all.
How did you get the house back from the bank?
...
I bought the bank.
The whole bank? It's like a reflex with me. I don't know.
It's like a reflex with me. I don't know.
What?
It's actually the worst job you can get in a crime lab.
But my foot's in the door. But my foot's in the door.
But my foot's in the door.
Yeah, I got a recommendation from a friend.
This is like a "job" job?
"Job" job.
Look at you go.
Darkness, the truest darkness, is not the absence of light.
is not the absence of light.
It is the conviction that the light will never return.
Must be 100, 150 feet. Must be.
...
Big round table.
Six chairs, right there.
But room for more.
But the light always returns
to show us things familiar.
Home
Family
and things entirely new,
or long overlooked.
It shows us new possibilities
and challenges us to pursue them.
Yeah, and Jerry Monasco runs the whole kit.
I mean, he did the Bilbao job two years ago. Yeah, he has it all in storage in Croydon.
- The Belgian? - Right, yeah, the Belgian.
This time, the light shone on the heroes
coming out of the shadows to tell us we won't be alone again.
...
Our darkness was deep and seemed to swallow all hope.
and seemed to swallow all hope.
But these heroes were here the whole time
to remind us that hope is real
that you can see it.
All you have to do is look
up in the sky.

Key Grammar Structures

  • How did you get the house back from the bank?

    ➔ Question formation with auxiliary "did"

    ➔ In the sentence, "did" is placed before the base verb "get" to turn a statement into a past‑tense question.

  • I bought the bank.

    ➔ Simple past tense (regular verb)

    "bought" is the past form of "buy", showing a completed action in the past.

  • It's like a reflex with me.

    ➔ Simile using "like" + noun

    "like" introduces a comparison; the noun "reflex" is the thing being compared.

  • But my foot's in the door.

    ➔ Contraction of "is" and idiomatic expression

    "foot's" = "foot is"; the phrase means the speaker already has a chance or position.

  • It's actually the worst job you can get in a crime lab.

    ➔ Relative clause with modal "can" + infinitive

    "you can get" is a relative clause modifying "job"; "can" shows ability.

  • Must be 100, 150 feet.

    ➔ Modal verb "must" for deduction

    "Must" expresses a strong logical conclusion: the speaker believes the distance is 100‑150 feet.

  • Darkness, the truest darkness, is not the absence of light.

    ➔ Appositive phrase (noun + apposition)

    "the truest darkness" restates "Darkness"; the appositive adds extra description.

  • It is the conviction that the light will never return.

    ➔ "that"‑clause as complement

    "that the light will never return" explains what the "conviction" is.

  • All you have to do is look up in the sky.

    ➔ "All ... is + infinitive" construction

    "All you have to do" is the subject; the verb "is" links it to the infinitive "look".
