Key Grammar Structures
-
Du musst runterkommen und dich entscheiden
➔ Modal verb "müssen" + infinitive
➔ "müssen" expresses necessity or obligation. Here, it means "you must" or "you have to". "runterkommen" is a separable verb, and "sich entscheiden" is a reflexive verb.
-
Ist nicht gesund, Kampf um Kampf, Weil du es grad nicht ändern kannst
➔ Subordinate clause with "weil"
➔ "weil" introduces a reason or cause. The verb "ändern" (can't change) is at the end of the clause.
-
Aber was Gutes wird passier'n
➔ Future tense with "werden"
➔ "wird passier'n" is a shortened colloquial form of "wird passieren", meaning "will happen". "werden" is the auxiliary verb for the future tense.
-
Jede Liebe wird irgendwann ans Licht kommen
➔ Future tense with "werden" and prepositional phrase
➔ Again, "wird kommen" is future tense. "ans Licht kommen" is an idiomatic expression meaning "to come to light" or "to be revealed".
-
Ist nur so, dass es sich nicht so anfühlt
➔ "Es" as a placeholder subject + "dass" clause
➔ "Es" is a placeholder subject, and the real subject is the "dass" clause. "sich anfühlen" is a reflexive verb meaning "to feel".
-
Sagt der Vater zu dem Emo-Mädchen
➔ Inverted sentence structure for emphasis
➔ The typical word order would be "Der Vater sagt zu dem Emo-Mädchen". The inverted structure puts the verb "sagt" first, emphasizing the action.
-
Die schrecklich wehtun und nur austeil'n
➔ Relative clause with "die" (plural)
➔ "die" refers to "Dingen" (things) in the previous line. It introduces a relative clause that describes the things that cause pain and only give (bad things). "austeilen" is a separable verb.
