Key Grammar Structures
-
Auf den Schultern von Giganten vielleicht landen wir nie
➔ Inversion for Emphasis
➔ The sentence structure is inverted with "vielleicht" (maybe) coming before the subject and verb ("wir landen") for emphasis. The standard word order would be "Wir landen vielleicht nie auf den Schultern von Giganten."
-
Spür' wie dein Herz grad 'nen Schlag überspringt und wenn es
➔ Subjunctive Mood (Indirect Discourse)
➔ While not strictly subjunctive here, the "wie" (how) introduces an indirect question, bordering on indirect discourse. It's about feeling *how* your heart skips a beat.
-
Dass den Liedern, die man liebt, immer Frieden inne liegt
➔ Relative Clause with Dative Case
➔ "Den Liedern" is in the dative case because it's the indirect object of the verb "liegt" (lies/is contained). The relative clause "die man liebt" modifies "den Liedern."
-
Wenn, wie bei mir, deine größte Sorge Mittelmaß ist
➔ Conditional Clause with Interjection
➔ This is a conditional sentence using "wenn" (if). The phrase "wie bei mir" (like with me) is an interjection interrupting the main conditional clause.
-
Sprüh's an die Wände, sag: "Wir waren hier"
➔ Imperative and Direct Speech
➔ "Sprüh's" is an imperative (command) form of the verb "sprühen" (to spray). "Wir waren hier" is direct speech, indicated by the quotation marks.
-
Und sag mir, wie das war, wo du gingst
➔ Indirect Question and Past Tense
➔ "Wie das war" (how it was) is an indirect question introduced by "sag mir" (tell me). "Wo du gingst" (where you went) is another indirect question. Both verbs, "war" and "gingst", are in the past tense.
-
Als ich den Anruf bekam, die Sprache verging
➔ Temporal Clause with Past Tense and Ellipsis
➔ "Als ich den Anruf bekam" (when I got the call) is a temporal clause. "Die Sprache verging" (speech faded) is a main clause, but there's an implied subject – probably referring back to the speaker's ability to speak.
