Lyrics:

[English]

You tell me all the things you do

Tell me that it's up to you

Crying in the peaceful night

Telling all the things you hide

But right there in the future

Maybe you're the rainbow

There's no song without love

With your eyes shut, you cry in your bed

Is that what you wanted? Songs about love?

Is that what you hoped you would find?

Well, it's burning inside

But a song about love's not enough

So what do you want for?

What are you needing?

Songs about memories

That hide and then shatter your mind

Like a constant reminder

I just want to find where you are

I hold you and your eyes fall down

You barely even make a sound

Crying in the peaceful night

Showing all the things you hide

But out there in the future

Maybe you're the rainbow

There's no song without love

With your eyes shut, you cry in your bed

Is that what you wanted? Songs about love?

Is that what you hoped you would find?

Well, it's burning inside

But a song about love's not enough

So what do you want for?

What are you needing?

Songs about memories

That hide and then shatter your mind

Like a constant reminder

I just want to find where you are

Grammar:

You tell me all the things you do

➔ Present Simple Tense

➔ Use of the "present simple" tense to describe habitual actions or general truths. Here, it describes the action of telling, which is repeated.
Maybe you're the rainbow

➔ Contraction (you are -> you're)

➔ Use of the contraction "you're" for "you are". This is common in informal speech and song lyrics.
Is that what you wanted? Songs about love?

➔ Question Formation (Interrogative sentence)

➔ Inversion of the auxiliary verb ("is") and subject ("that") to form a question. The rising intonation at the end also signals a question.
But a song about love's not enough

➔ Possessive 's

➔ Using the "'s" to indicate possession or relationship (song about love -> love's not enough).
So what do you want for?

➔ Preposition at the end of the sentence

➔ While sometimes considered informal, ending a sentence with a preposition ("for") is common in spoken English and acceptable in many contexts.
That hide and then shatter your mind

➔ Relative Clause (implied)

➔ The word "that" introduces a relative clause describing "memories". The "that" is omitted but understood.
I just want to find where you are

➔ Indirect Question

➔ "Where you are" is an indirect question acting as the object of the verb "find". The word order is subject-verb, not verb-subject as in a direct question.
You barely even make a sound

➔ Adverb of Degree (barely)

➔ The adverb "barely" modifies the verb "make", indicating a minimal degree of action. It means 'almost not'.
