Grammar:
-
Weil die Welt sich so schnell dreht
➔ Subordinate clause with 'weil' (because)
➔ The clause uses 'weil' to introduce a reason. 'sich dreht' is a reflexive verb ('drehen' + 'sich').
-
Kommst Du nicht hinterher
➔ Verb-second word order in a main clause, separable verb 'hinterherkommen'
➔ In main clauses, the conjugated verb comes second. 'hinterherkommen' is a separable verb, meaning 'hinterher' goes to the end of the clause.
-
Wer du bist und was dir fehlt
➔ Indirect questions with 'wer' and 'was'
➔ These are indirect questions functioning as noun clauses. 'Wer du bist' means 'who you are', and 'was dir fehlt' means 'what you lack'.
-
Vergisst du, was du sagen willst
➔ Subordinate clause as object with 'was', Modal verb 'wollen' in subjunctive II (würden)
➔ 'Was du sagen willst' is a noun clause acting as the object of 'vergisst'. 'wirst' is the conjugated form of the auxiliary verb 'werden' in Konjunktiv II here expressing intention.
-
Bevor du gehst
➔ Subordinate clause introduced by 'bevor' (before)
➔ 'Bevor' introduces a temporal subordinate clause, indicating that something happens *before* the action in the main clause.
-
Denn jetzt und hier Bist du ein Teil von ihr
➔ Main clause with verb-second order, prepositional phrase 'Teil von ihr'
➔ 'Bist' (are) is the conjugated verb and comes second in the main clause. 'Teil von ihr' (part of it) is a prepositional phrase specifying what you are a part of.
