Grammar:

• 멈출 순 없어 (Meomchul sun eopseo)

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 수 없다 (-(eu)l su eopda)

  ➔ This expresses impossibility. It's a combination of a verb stem + -(으)ㄹ 수 (potential form) + 없다 (to not exist/to not have). "멈추다" (meomchuda) means "to stop", so "멈출 수 없어" (meomchul su eopseo) means "I can't stop" or "I am unable to stop".

• 오래전에 네가 보낸 응원이 (Orae jeone nega bonaen eungwoni)

  ➔ -ㄴ/은 (-(n/eun) modifying past tense relative clause)

  ➔ "보낸" (bonaen) is the past tense form of "보내다" (bonaeda, to send) conjugated with the past tense modifier -(으)ㄴ. It modifies the noun "응원" (eungwon, support/cheer). So the whole phrase means "the support/cheer that you sent a long time ago."

• 내 마음속의 어둠을 밝혀 주었어 (Nae maeumsogui eodumeul balkhyeo jueosseo)

  ➔ -아/어 주다 (-a/eo juda) (giving a favor/doing something for someone)

  ➔ "-아/어 주다" (-a/eo juda) expresses the act of doing something for someone else. "밝혀 주었어" (balkhyeo jueosseo) comes from "밝히다" (balkhida, to brighten) + -아/어 주다 + past tense -었-. It means "brightened for me/did the favor of brightening".

• 넘어졌다면 (Neomeojyeotdamyeon)

  ➔ -다면 (damyeon): If (hypothetical condition)

  ➔ This is the hypothetical conditional mood. 넘어지다 (neomeojida) means to fall. 넘어져 (neomeojyeo) is the verb stem. 넘어졌 (neomeojyeot) is past tense, then -다면 (damyeon) is attached. So "넘어졌다면" means "if you had fallen."

• 그땐 널 다시 세워 줄 테니 (Geuttaen neol dasi sewo jul teni)

  ➔ -ㄹ/을 테니 (-(eu)l teni) expressing intention or supposition, often followed by a suggestion or command

  ➔ -(으)ㄹ 테니 (-(eu)l teni) expresses the speaker's intention or conjecture about the future, often followed by a suggestion or command. Here, it expresses the speaker's intention to help. 세워 줄 테니 (sewo jul teni) = 세우다 (seuda - to raise/build) + 아/어 주다 (a/eo juda - to do for someone) + -(으)ㄹ 테니. So it means "I will raise you up for you" or "I will help you get back on your feet."

• 살가운 너의 손에 (Salgaun neoui sone)

  ➔ -ㄴ/은 (adjective modifying noun)

  ➔ "살가운" (salgaun) is the adjective form of "살갑다" (salgapda, to be affable, amiable, friendly). The adjective is modifying the noun "손" (son, hand). So "살가운 너의 손에" means "in your friendly hand."
