Key Grammar Structures

• MEANT TO BE, WE MIGHT BE ALL RIGHT NOW

  ➔ Modal verb of possibility ('might be')

  ➔ Uses "might be" to express a possibility or uncertainty about the situation. "Might" indicates a lower probability than "may" or "will".

• I SWEAR I'LL NEVER LET YOU DOWN DOWN

  ➔ Future tense with 'will' and negative adverb ('never')

  ➔ The construction "I'll never let you down" uses "will" to form the future tense and "never" to create a negative statement, strongly emphasizing the promise.

• CAUSE YOU ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE

  ➔ Use of 'always' with present simple to describe habit

  ➔ "You always be my favorite" uses the adverb of frequency "always" with the present simple tense ("be") to indicate a constant or habitual state. It means the person consistently holds the special position of being the favorite.

• CAN'T STOP 덫에 갇힌 너, 이미 다쳐 버린 너

  ➔ Passive Voice ('갇힌', '다쳐 버린') in Korean

  ➔ In the Korean part of the lyrics, '갇힌 너' (gad-hin neo) and '다쳐 버린 너' (dachyeo beorin neo) are examples of passive voice. '갇힌' (gad-hin) means 'trapped' and '다쳐 버린' (dachyeo beorin) means 'already hurt'. The passive voice is used to show that the subject is receiving the action.

• LOOKIN IN THE MIRROR, UH 거울 속에 비친 쉿

  ➔ Present participle ('LOOKIN') as part of continuous tense (implied)

  ➔ "Lookin" is a shortened form of "looking", a present participle typically used with a form of "be" to form continuous tenses. Here, the "am" or "is" is omitted for stylistic effect, but the implication is still that the action is ongoing.

• WHO THE F* I 꽃단장 해 FOR?

  ➔ Interrogative sentence structure with embedded question

  ➔ The sentence "WHO THE F* I 꽃단장 해 FOR?" combines an interrogative pronoun ("WHO") with an embedded question. While grammatically incorrect due to word order (should be 'Who am I doing...for?'), the stylistic choice creates emphasis and an informal tone.

• I GOT THAT STANK UP ON ME, MM

  ➔ Use of colloquial preposition 'up on'

  ➔ The phrase "up on me" is a colloquial way of saying "on me", often used to emphasize the presence or effect of something. It's more informal and adds a specific flavor to the sentence.

• 매 순간 널 데려가 YEAH

  ➔ Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) sentence structure in Korean

  ➔ In the Korean phrase "매 순간 널 데려가 YEAH" (mae sun-gan neol deryeoga YEAH), the structure follows the Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) order, which is typical for Korean. "매 순간" (mae sun-gan) - 'every moment', "널" (neol) - 'you' (object marker), "데려가" (deryeoga) - 'take' or 'bring' (verb).
