Grammar:
-
Ich bin hier niemals allein, Weil ich weiß, dass du bleibst
➔ Subordinate clause with "weil" (because)
➔ The word "weil" introduces a subordinate clause that explains the reason for the main clause. "Ich bin hier niemals allein" (I am never alone here) is the main clause, and "weil ich weiß, dass du bleibst" (because I know that you stay) gives the reason.
-
Um zu lieben wie wir sind
➔ Infinitive clause with "um zu" (in order to)
➔ "Um zu" introduces an infinitive clause that expresses a purpose. In this case, the purpose is "lieben wie wir sind" (to love like we are).
-
Ich kommt heut nicht heim
➔ Colloquial German: Omission of the ending on the verb "kommen"
➔ The correct form would be "Ich komme heute nicht heim" (I'm not coming home today). The omission of the '-e' is common in spoken German, especially in informal contexts.
-
Wieso will ich dann, dass du brennst?
➔ Subordinate clause with "dass" (that) and the subjunctive mood (Konjunktiv I/II)
➔ Here "dass du brennst" is a subordinate clause acting as the object of "will ich". The use of "brennst" in this context, while not explicitly subjunctive, hints at a hypothetical or desired state.
-
Aber bin ich weg, dann hab ich Heimweh
➔ Inverted word order after "aber" and "dann"
➔ Normally, the subject would come before the verb. However, after "aber" (but) and "dann" (then), the word order is often inverted, especially in spoken or informal language. So instead of "Aber ich bin weg..." it becomes "Aber bin ich weg..."
-
Egal wie viel ich trink Oder wie high ich bin
➔ Clauses introduced by "egal wie" (no matter how)
➔ "Egal wie" introduces clauses that express a condition that doesn't matter. Here, it means no matter how much I drink or how high I am...
-
Weiß ich, dass irgendwie zu dir nach Hause find
➔ Subordinate clause with "dass" and incorrect word order
➔ The correct word order in the "dass" clause would be "dass ich irgendwie zu dir nach Hause finde" (that I somehow find my way home to you). The given sentence has a more colloquial and slightly grammatically incorrect structure.
-
Lieber hier als alleine
➔ Comparative with "lieber... als" (rather... than)
➔ "Lieber hier als alleine" translates to "Rather here than alone". It expresses a preference for being here over being alone.
