Key Grammar Structures
-
Mit jedem Meter platzen Träume, egal wie hoch ich steig'
➔ Subjunctive Mood (Konjunktiv I) in Indirect Speech
➔ The phrase "wie hoch ich steig'" is a shortened form of "wie hoch ich steige" (how high I climb). The subjunctive I *steige* would be used if this were indirect speech reporting something someone else said. Here, it's more of a general statement, but retains a flavour of uncertainty or hypothetical nature. "Egal wie hoch ich steig'" means "No matter how high I climb".
-
Um zu seh'n, was unter mir ist, muss ich oben sein
➔ Infinitive Clause with "um zu"
➔ "Um zu seh'n" introduces an infinitive clause expressing purpose. It means "in order to see". "Um + zu + infinitive" is used to explain the reason *why* something is done.
-
Alles, was ich wollte, wirkt von hier oben klein
➔ Relative Clause
➔ "Alles, was ich wollte" is a relative clause modifying "Alles". "Was ich wollte" (what I wanted) acts as the subject of the main verb "wirkt".
-
Besser, wenn ich am Boden bleib'
➔ Conditional Clause (implied)
➔ This is a shortened form of a conditional sentence. It implies "Es wäre besser, wenn ich am Boden bleibe" (It would be better if I stayed on the ground). The "wenn" clause expresses the condition.
-
Sie sagte: "Fallen ist wie fliegen für einen kleinen Moment", deswegen
➔ Analogy with 'wie'
➔ The word 'wie' is used to make a comparison. The sentence says that falling is *like* flying for a brief moment. This illustrates an analogy between the two actions.
