[English]

So I run and hide and tear myself up

Start again with a brand new name

And eyes that see into infinity

I will disappear

I told you once and I'll say it again

I want my message read clear

I'll show you the way, the way I'm going

So I run and hide and tear myself up

Start again with a brand new name

And eyes that see into infinity

I was almost there

Just a moment away from becoming unclear

Ever get the feeling you're gone

I'll show you the way, the way I'm going

So I run and hide and tear myself up

Start again with a brand new name

And eyes that see into infinity

So I run, start again

With a brand new name

With a brand new name

so I run and hide and tear myself up

start again with a brand new name

And eyes that see into infinity

With a brand new name

Key Grammar Structures

• So I run and hide and tear myself up

  ➔ Simple present; coordination of verbs; reflexive pronoun

  ➔ The verbs "run", "hide" and "tear" are in the simple present, joined by the coordinating conjunction "and". "myself" is a reflexive pronoun referring back to the subject "I".

• Start again with a brand new name

  ➔ Imperative mood

  ➔ "Start" is used as a command, so the sentence is in the imperative mood.

• And eyes that see into infinity

  ➔ Relative clause

  ➔ "that see into infinity" is a relative clause modifying "eyes".

• I will disappear

  ➔ Future simple (will)

  ➔ "will disappear" expresses a simple future action using the modal verb "will".

• I told you once and I'll say it again

  ➔ Past simple + future simple (will) with coordination

  ➔ "told" is past simple, while "I'll say" ("I will say") is future simple. The two clauses are linked by the coordinating conjunction "and".

• I want my message read clear

  ➔ Causative construction (want + bare infinitive)

  ➔ "want" is followed by the bare infinitive "read". This expresses a desire that the message be read clearly.

• I'll show you the way, the way I'm going

  ➔ Future simple (will) + present continuous

  ➔ "I'll show" uses the future simple with "will". In the second clause, "I'm going" is present continuous, indicating an ongoing action.

• I was almost there

  ➔ Simple past with adverb of degree

  ➔ "was" is the simple past form of "be". The adverb "almost" modifies the phrase "there" to indicate near completion.

• Ever get the feeling you're gone?

  ➔ Informal present‑simple question with subject omission

  ➔ The sentence drops the subject "you" before "ever get"; this is common in spoken English for rhetorical questions.
