It's not very extensive though. In then end, it's about a person who "sold his soul, then stole it back", as the lyrics say, but he ends up at peace with himself, which is what the concept of not needing heaven or hell is supposed to convey.
It's really not very clear in the interview, still kind of leaves it open to interpretation.
It might mean that he did things in the past that he's not proud of, but feels like he's redeemed himself from that to some extent, but he can never really fully escape those consequences (or maybe good things happened to him as a result of some bad things he did, so he's still "in debt" for that fact).
He no longer needs to engage in "selling your soul" type activity, and he perhaps doesn't see much hope or value in pursuing religion, thus he's become a kind of zen-like in between where neither concept is of interest to him at all.
Anyway--see what the artist says, and then interpret for yourself.
There is an explanation from the artist here:
