Key Grammar Structures

• 그러기엔 우린 좀 달라 분명

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ/기엔 (for doing something, it's too/not suitable)

  ➔ The grammar pattern "-기엔" (or "-(으)ㄹ 기엔" when attached to a verb) indicates that a situation or action is unsuitable or excessive for a particular purpose. Here, "그러기엔" refers to "doing that" (spending the night in a common way), implying "for doing that, we are a bit different, clearly." It highlights a contrast between the action and the subject's nature.

• 그러자 밤의 마법이, 욕망이, 달이 속삭여

  ➔ -자 (as soon as, when)

  ➔ The ending "-자" is used to indicate that the action in the second clause happens immediately after the action in the first clause. It implies a cause-and-effect or sequential relationship. Here, "그러자" means "as soon as that happened/then," implying that immediately after their realization of being different, the magic, desire, and moon whispered.

• 어둠이 깊어 비밀을 덮어줄 테니

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 테니 (since/as it will), -아/어주다 (to do for someone/something)

  ➔ The pattern "-(으)ㄹ 테니" indicates a premise or reason based on a future or assumed situation. Here, "덮어줄 테니" means "because the darkness will cover (the secrets) for you." The embedded "-아/어주다" means "to do something for someone's benefit," emphasizing the protective action of the darkness.

• 이끄는 대로 가 보고 싶은데

  ➔ -는 대로 (as, according to), -고 싶다 (want to)

  ➔ The pattern "-는 대로" means "as soon as," or more commonly, "as/according to (what is happening/being done)." Here, "이끄는 대로" translates to "as it leads" or "according to where it leads." The phrase "-고 싶다" is a common expression for 'wanting' to do something, so "가 보고 싶은데" means "I want to try going" or "I want to go and see (where it leads)." The "-는데" at the end adds a nuance of background or mild hesitation/wonder.

• 취한 듯 꿈을 헤매 너를 헤매 믿어지니?

  ➔ -(으)ㄴ/는 듯하다 (to seem/look like), -아/어지다 (passive voice/to become possible)

  ➔ The pattern "-(으)ㄴ/는 듯하다" expresses that something seems or looks like a certain state or action. "취한 듯" means "as if drunk." The ending "-아/어지다" is typically used for passive voice (e.g., 'to be done'), but can also indicate possibility or a natural occurrence. Here, "믿어지니?" means "Can it be believed?" or "Is it believable?" It questions the reality of the situation.

• 끊어질 듯한 긴장은, 의심은 사라졌으니

  ➔ -았/었으니 (because/since a past action occurred)

  ➔ The ending "-았/었으니" is used to indicate that the preceding past action or state is the reason or ground for the following statement. Here, "사라졌으니" means "because (the tension and doubt) have disappeared," justifying the subsequent implication (e.g., 'so come closer' or 'now we can be together').

• 눈 앞의 존재 넌 살아 움직이는데

  ➔ -(으)ㄴ/는데 (background/circumstance, mild contrast/explanation)

  ➔ The ending "-(으)ㄴ/는데" serves multiple functions, including providing background information, expressing a mild contrast, or setting the stage for the following statement. Here, "살아 움직이는데" describes the active, living presence in front of the speaker, setting the context for the desire to know them better, as expressed in the next line.

• 전부 무너지게

  ➔ -게 하다 (to make/let something happen)

  ➔ The pattern "-게 하다" means "to make (something happen)" or "to let (someone do something)." It's often used for causative meanings. In this line, "무너지게" implies "(to make) everything collapse." It suggests an intense desire for a complete breakdown or surrender.

• 다 녹아 버리게

  ➔ -아/어 버리다 (to complete an action, often with a sense of finality/regret)

  ➔ The auxiliary verb "-아/어 버리다" is attached to a verb to indicate that an action has been completely finished, often with a nuance of finality, decisiveness, or sometimes regret/relief that something is over. Here, "녹아 버리게" emphasizes that the melting should be thorough and complete, as if to say, 'let it all melt away completely.'

• 난 너만 원해 믿어지니

  ➔ -만 (only, just)

  ➔ The particle "-만" is attached to nouns, pronouns, or other grammatical elements to indicate 'only,' 'just,' or 'nothing but.' It emphasizes exclusivity or limitation. In "난 너만 원해," it stresses that "I only want you," highlighting the singular focus of the speaker's desire.
