Es gibt Menschen, die nur vorüberzieh'n
➔ Relative Clause with 'die'
➔ The clause "die nur vorüberzieh'n" (who only pass by) is a relative clause modifying "Menschen" (people). "Die" is the nominative relative pronoun here. This allows a more complex description of the subject of the sentence.

Du brauchst Feingefühl, um sie zu versteh'n
➔ Infinitive Clause with 'um...zu'
➔ The structure "um...zu" introduces an infinitive clause expressing purpose. Here, it means "in order to understand them."
-
Die mich zu dem machten, der ich bin
➔ Double Relative Clause; 'zu dem' + 'der'
➔ This is a complex construction with two relative clauses. "Die mich zu dem machten" (who made me to that) refers to a state. "Der ich bin" (who I am) further specifies that state. The whole phrase translates to 'who made me to who I am'.

Vielleicht hatten sie nie Böses im Sinn

Führt zu Tiefgang, denn man ist nicht nur oben
➔ Causal conjunction 'denn' (because)

Also bleib stark und respektvoll, und es wird kommen, wie es kommen soll
➔ Imperative and Future Tense combined with 'wie es kommen soll'
➔ "Bleib stark und respektvoll" (Stay strong and respectful) is an imperative sentence. "Es wird kommen, wie es kommen soll" (It will come as it should come) uses future tense and the idiom "wie es kommen soll", implying acceptance of fate.
-
Lass sie einfach links liegen
➔ Imperative with separable verb 'liegen lassen'
