I believe in the line "Life is not some sinecure for you to pay" SW actually says "claim" instead of "pay". Otherwise, the next line "You have to pay" would make no sense. If life is not a sinecure to be paid, why would he say that you have to pay it afterall?
@JucaOPastor Good point. I think if you arrange the line and switch "to pay" with "for you" the meaning becomes clearer, since all it say than is, that life wont take care of anything (hence the "to pay for you") unless you dont take care of your life.
To me this song is about failing to reflect oneself properly and getting carried away by all the sorrow and obstacles in life, while all you had to do was to realise, that you are actually in charge
