Grammar:

• I was born in a thunderstorm

  ➔ 过去简单时态 (被动语态)

  ➔ 使用被动语态来强调出生的经历，而不是谁执行了该动作。“Was born”是用“was”（“be”的过去式）+过去分词“born”构成的。

• I wanted everything I never had

  ➔ 关系从句 (宾语)

  ➔ 从句“I never had”充当修饰“everything”的关系从句。关系代词（which/that）被省略，因为它充当“had”的宾语。

• Where the wind don't change

  ➔ 否定一致（非标准）

  ➔ 这行对“wind”使用了“don't”，这在标准英语中语法不正确（应该是“doesn't”）。这是否定一致的一个例子，这是在某些方言中发现的一个特征，其中否定元素可以传播到整个从句中。通常在非正式的讲话或歌曲歌词中使用，以达到强调或风格效果。

• And you're taught to cry into your pillow

  ➔ 现在简单时态（被动语态）+ 不定式

  ➔ 被动语态“you're taught”表示其他人正在教导这件事。不定式短语“to cry into your pillow”表达了教学的目的或结果。

• I'm still breathing

  ➔ 现在进行时

  ➔ 描述了说话时正在发生的动作。这里，它强调了尽管面临挑战，生活仍在继续。

• I found solace in the strangest place

  ➔ 过去简单时态 + 最高级形容词

  ➔ 使用过去简单时态来描述过去已完成的动作。最高级形容词“strangest”用于强调该地点与任何其他地方都不同。

• I have made every single mistake

  ➔ 现在完成时

  ➔ 现在完成时（“have made”）将过去的错误与现在联系起来。它表明这些错误的结果仍然具有现实意义。

• That you could ever possibly make

  ➔ 情态动词 + 副词

  ➔ “Could”是一个情态动词，表示可能性。“Possibly”是一个修饰动词“make”的副词，强调了可能性的程度。这个结构突出了说话人犯的错误的全面性。
