Grammar:

• I've never seen one like that before

  ➔ Present Perfect with 'never' and 'before'

  ➔ Uses the present perfect ('I've seen') to express an experience up to now. 'Never' emphasizes the lack of prior experience, and 'before' reinforces that the speaker has not seen something similar at any point in the past.

• He ate my heart, he a-a-ate my heart out

  ➔ Past Simple (ate) and Phrasal Verb (ate...out)

  ➔ "Ate" is the simple past tense of 'eat', describing a completed action in the past. "Ate my heart out" is a phrasal verb that intensifies the meaning, implying a devastating emotional impact.

• I asked my girlfriend if she'd seen you 'round before

  ➔ Indirect Question (with Past Perfect)

  ➔ The structure 'I asked if she'd seen' uses an indirect question, reporting what was asked without a direct question mark. 'She'd seen' is a contraction of 'she had seen', using the past perfect to indicate an action completed before the asking.

• We might've fucked, not really sure, don't quite recall

  ➔ Modal Verb of Possibility (might have) + Past Participle

  ➔ "Might've fucked" uses 'might have' + past participle to express a possibility or speculation about a past event. The addition of "not really sure, don't quite recall" reinforces the uncertainty.

• But something tells me that I've seen him, yeah

  ➔ Intuition/Impression ('Something tells me') + Present Perfect ('I've seen')

  ➔ 'Something tells me' expresses an intuition or feeling. The present perfect 'I've seen' connects this intuition to a potential past experience, implying the speaker might recognize the person.

• Girl, you look good enough to eat

  ➔ Adjective + "enough" + to-infinitive

  ➔ The structure 'good enough to eat' indicates that something possesses a quality to a sufficient degree to warrant a specific action or feeling (in this case, the hyperbole of wanting to literally eat someone). 'Enough' modifies the adjective 'good', and 'to eat' explains the consequence or purpose of that sufficient quality.
