[English]

Hearing whispers in the night

Voices filling up your mind

Your like a ghost of you

You’ve been drowning in the rain

Slowly saving up the pain

So deep inside of you

See the colors of the skies

Slowly turn from black and white

A rising hope, bright as gold

Now there’s nothing left to lose

So we’re breakin all the rules

And they don’t know what we know

Cause I can hear

The thunder from afar

A lightning in the dark

I can feel a fire come alive

So calm before the storm

So dark before the dawn

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

In your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

In your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

Now you’ll never be the same

Once you’ve felt that burning flame

You’re chasing stars alive

What was broken’s left behind

Watch it crumble in the light

Nothing can stop you now

See the colors of the skies

Slowly turn from black and white

A rising hope, bright as gold

Now there’s nothing left to lose

So we’re breakin all the rules

And they don’t know what we know

Cause I can hear

The thunder from afar

A lightning in the dark

I can feel a fire come alive

So calm before the storm

So dark before the dawn

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

In your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

In your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

In your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

In your eyes

Oh, I can see the fire in your eyes

Key Grammar Structures

• You’ve been drowning in the rain

  ➔ Present Perfect Continuous

  ➔ This tense ("have been drowning") describes an action that started in the past, continued up to the present, and may still be ongoing or have just finished, emphasizing its duration.

• Your like a ghost of you

  ➔ Simile / 'Like' for comparison

  ➔ The phrase uses "like" ("like a ghost") to compare the subject (implied "You are") to "a ghost of you", indicating a resemblance. (Note: The lyric uses 'Your' but should be 'You're' for 'You are').

• Now there’s nothing left to lose

  ➔ 'There is/are' + Past Participle + Infinitive of Purpose

  ➔ "There’s" introduces the existence of something. "left" (past participle) describes "nothing", and "to lose" (infinitive) expresses the purpose or what remains to be done with "nothing".

• And they don’t know what we know

  ➔ Noun Clause as Object

  ➔ "what we know" functions as the direct object of the verb "don't know", acting as a noun phrase that refers to a piece of information.

• I can feel a fire come alive

  ➔ Perception Verb + Object + Bare Infinitive

  ➔ After a verb of perception like "feel", "see", or "hear", we use the bare infinitive "come alive" to describe an action that is perceived in its entirety.

• Now you’ll never be the same

  ➔ Future Simple with 'will never'

  ➔ "will never be" expresses a strong negative prediction or certainty about a future state or action, indicating that something will definitely not happen.

• Once you’ve felt that burning flame

  ➔ Subordinating Conjunction 'Once' + Present Perfect + Present Participle as Adjective

  ➔ "Once" ("Once you've felt") introduces a time clause meaning "as soon as" or "after". "you've felt" (Present Perfect) indicates a completed action, and "burning" (present participle) describes the noun "flame".

• What was broken’s left behind

  ➔ Noun Clause as Subject + Passive Voice

  ➔ "What was broken" acts as the subject of the sentence. "was broken" uses the passive voice to describe something that was acted upon. The full phrase "is left behind" is also a passive construction.

• Nothing can stop you now

  ➔ Indefinite Pronoun 'Nothing' as Subject + Modal Verb 'can'

  ➔ "Nothing" acts as the subject, making the sentence inherently negative. "can stop" expresses inability or impossibility for anything to stop the subject.

• A rising hope, bright as gold

  ➔ Present Participle as Adjective + Simile (as...as)

  ➔ "rising" (present participle) describes "hope" as an ongoing action or quality. "bright as gold" uses the "as...as" structure to make a comparison, emphasizing the intensity of "bright".
