Grammar:

• Lost in your mind, I wanna know

  ➔ **Reduced Relative Clause/Participle Phrase:** "Lost" acts as a reduced relative clause (e.g., *I am lost*). It modifies the speaker, describing their state. **Informal Contraction:** "Wanna" is a contraction of "want to."

  ➔ The speaker feels lost in someone else's thoughts and wants to understand the situation. "Lost" describes the speaker's feeling of being disoriented or confused, while "wanna" is a casual way of saying "want to know".

• Am I losin' my mind?

  ➔ **Present Continuous Tense:** "Am I losin'" represents the present continuous tense, indicating an action that is happening now or around now. **Informal Contraction:** "Losin'" is an informal contraction of "losing".

  ➔ The speaker is questioning their mental state, suggesting they might be going crazy. The use of present continuous emphasizes the ongoing nature of the perceived mental deterioration.

• Never let me go

  ➔ **Imperative Sentence:** This is an imperative sentence, expressing a command or request. **Negative Imperative:** "Never" makes the command negative.

  ➔ This is a plea for someone to stay with the speaker and not abandon them. It indicates a deep fear of being left alone.

• If this night is not forever, at least we are together

  ➔ **Conditional Sentence (Type 1):** "If this night is not forever" is the 'if' clause (condition), and "at least we are together" is the main clause (result). Type 1 conditionals describe real or likely situations. **Adverbial Phrase:** "At least" functions as an adverbial phrase modifying the main clause.

  ➔ The speaker acknowledges the potential transience of a situation but finds comfort in the present togetherness. Even if it doesn't last, the shared experience is meaningful.

• Anywhere, whenever

  ➔ **Adverbs of Place and Time:** "Anywhere" is an adverb of place, and "whenever" is an adverb of time. They are used to express a general or unspecified location and time.

  ➔ This emphasizes that the feeling of not being alone is constant and unconditional, regardless of location or time. The connection transcends physical boundaries.

• Apart but still together

  ➔ **Adverbial Phrase & Conjunction:** "Apart" is an adverb indicating separation, "but" is a coordinating conjunction connecting contrasting ideas, and "still" is an adverb emphasizing the continuing connection. **Adjective:** "Together" is used as an adjective describing a state of unity.

  ➔ This line highlights the paradox of physical separation but emotional or spiritual connection. Despite being physically distant, the feeling of unity remains.

• Unconscious mind, I'm wide awake

  ➔ **Adjective and Noun + Subject Pronoun + Adjective:** "Unconscious" is an adjective describing the "mind", and "wide awake" is an adjective phrase describing the state of the speaker denoted by "I'm". **Contrasting Ideas:** The phrase juxtaposes the unconscious mind with the state of being fully awake.

  ➔ This describes a state of internal conflict where the mind is in an unconscious or dreamlike state, yet the speaker is fully aware and alert. It highlights a disconnect between the internal world and the speaker's conscious perception.
