[English]

We do it for love

Don’t forget, forever

Still, we do it for love

Let’s not be afraid together

We’re beautiful strangers

I call your name

Like a child looking for their mother

My voice is getting louder

Following the strength you gave me

Just like you woke me by calling my name

Now I’m callin’ you, callin’ our heaven

This moment we saved each other

Don’t forget this moment

We do it for love

Don’t forget, forever

Still, we do it for love

Let’s not be afraid together

You, I call your name

This moment is so beautiful

A promise of eternity

In a world where the spell is broken

We’re beautiful strangers

We’re beautiful strangers

We’re beautiful strangers

It’s strange, yet beautiful

Even shattered glass seems to glisten

Your broken wings and my horn

Scars, just like tattoos

They’re proof of our love

I kiss the scars on your back

Once again with you drawing our heaven

Even if the world laughs at us

The reason not to be afraid

We do it for love

Don’t forget, forever

Still, we do it for love

Let’s not be afraid together

You, I call your name

This moment is so beautiful

A promise of eternity

In a world where the spell is broken

We’re beautiful strangers

I call your name

This moment is so beautiful

A promise of eternity

In a world where the spell is broken

We’re beautiful strangers

We’re beautiful strangers

We’re beautiful strangers

• Let’s not be afraid together

  ➔ Imperative (Suggestion with "Let's")

  ➔ "Let's" is used to make a suggestion or proposal for an action that includes the speaker and the listener(s). Here, it's a negative suggestion, urging mutual courage.

• My voice is getting louder

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense + Comparative Adjective

  ➔ The phrase "is getting" indicates an ongoing process or a gradual change. "louder" is the comparative form of the adjective 'loud', showing an increase in volume.

• Like a child looking for their mother

  ➔ Simile + Present Participle functioning as an adjective

  ➔ The phrase "Like a child" introduces a simile, comparing the speaker's action to that of a child. "looking" is a present participle used here to describe the child, functioning adjectivally (similar to a reduced relative clause: 'a child who is looking').

• This moment we saved each other

  ➔ Reduced Relative Clause (Object Relative Pronoun Omission)

  ➔ This is a reduced relative clause where the object relative pronoun (that/which) is omitted. The full clause would be 'This moment **that/which** we saved each other', functioning adjectivally to describe 'moment'.

• In a world where the spell is broken

  ➔ Relative Clause with "where" + Passive Voice

  ➔ "where the spell is broken" is a relative clause modifying 'world', indicating the place. Within this clause, "is broken" is in the passive voice, emphasizing the state of the spell (that it received the action of breaking).

• Even if the world laughs at us

  ➔ Concessive Clause ("Even if")

  ➔ "Even if" introduces a concessive clause, indicating a condition that might be true but does not prevent the main action or statement (in this case, 'the reason not to be afraid'). It highlights a strong contrast.

• The reason not to be afraid

  ➔ Infinitive Phrase modifying a Noun

  ➔ The infinitive phrase "not to be afraid" functions adjectivally, specifying or explaining what kind of 'reason' it is. It tells us the purpose or nature of the reason.
