Grammar:

• Time is truly wastin'

  ➔ 现在进行时 (助动词省略)

  ➔ 歌词使用口语化的表达。“Wastin'”是“wasting”的缩写形式。这句话暗示了助动词“is”，如“Time is truly wasting”，但出于风格原因被缩短了。这在非正式的口语和歌曲歌词中很常见，可以创造出一种更随意和有节奏的感觉。

• There's no guarantee, yeah

  ➔ 存在句 "There is/are"

  ➔ 短语“There's no guarantee”使用存在句“there is”来表达缺乏确定性。“Guarantee”是一个名词，指的是确定或有保证的事情。

• Smile's in the makin'

  ➔ 名词短语作主语（省略形式）

  ➔ 短语“Smile's in the makin'”是“A smile is in the making”的缩短和非正式的说法。's是“is”的缩写，“makin'”是“making”的口语形式。完整的句子将使用现在进行时。

• You gotta fight the powers that be

  ➔ "Gotta"（“got to”的缩写），带有“that”的关系从句

  ➔ “Gotta”是“got to”的缩写，意思是“have to”或“must”。 “The powers that be”是一个习语，指的是那些掌权者。关系从句“that be”修饰“the powers”，确定了正在引用的权力。

• Stayin' on the scene, yeah

  ➔ 现在分词作形容词（省略形式）

  ➔ “Stayin' on the scene”可能意味着“They are staying on the scene”之类的意思，其中“staying”在现在进行时中充当现在分词，描述正在进行的动作。辅助动词被省略。

• Faces full of pain

  ➔ 形容词短语

  ➔ “Faces full of pain”是一个形容词短语，用来描述面孔。“Full of pain”充当形容词，修饰名词“faces”。

• I try to play my music, they say my music's too loud

  ➔ 一般现在时，所有格形容词，程度形容词

  ➔ 第一个分句“I try to play my music”使用一般现在时来描述一个习惯性动作。“My”是一个所有格形容词，修饰“music”。在第二个分句“they say my music's too loud”中，“too”是一个程度形容词，加强了形容词“loud”的程度。

• An' when I rolled with the punches, I got knocked on the ground

  ➔ 一般过去时，被动语态

  ➔ “I rolled with the punches”是一般过去时，描述了过去完成的一个动作。“I got knocked on the ground”使用被动语态，表明主语 (I) 接受了动作而不是执行动作。动词“got”在这里用作助动词，与“knocked”一起构成被动语态。
