Grammar:

• I've seen Hell rise!

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense

  ➔ Uses "have/has + past participle" to indicate an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present. Here, it means the speaker has witnessed Hell rise at some point in their life and it's relevant now.

• Been thinkin that I need isolation

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous (informal)

  ➔ The grammatical structure is a shortened version of "I have been thinking". It suggests an action that started in the past and is continuing now. The word "been" replaces "have been" colloquially. This implies a continuous state of thinking.

• If you had to choose would you ever let me go?

  ➔ Second Conditional

  ➔ Uses "If + past simple, would + infinitive". It expresses a hypothetical or improbable situation and its likely result. Here, it's a question about an unlikely scenario: if forced to choose, would they let the speaker go?

• I can't stop the monster I'm losing my control

  ➔ Present Continuous

  ➔ "I'm losing" uses "be + -ing" form to describe an action happening now. Indicates a current state of losing control.

• Could someone please save my life?

  ➔ Modal Verb (Could) for polite request

  ➔ "Could" is a modal verb expressing possibility or a polite request. Using "could" makes the request sound less demanding than using "can".

• 'Cause I've gone cold!

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense

  ➔ Again, the "I've gone" is the short form of "I have gone". Using present perfect shows that the state of being cold has occurred and is relevant to the present situation.

• And I'm stuck in the abyss all on my own!

  ➔ Present Simple Passive (modified)

  ➔ While not a 'classic' passive voice construction, "I'm stuck" implies a passive state. The speaker is not actively causing the being stuck, but rather is in a state of being stuck. The "on my own" is an added adverbial phrase for emphasis.
