Grammar:

• Another verse, another search for something holy

  ➔ Use of "another" to indicate repetition or addition.

  ➔ "Another" is used to show that there is more of something, in this case, verses and searches.

• There's nothing lost, nothing to wonder

  ➔ Use of "nothing" as a pronoun.

  ➔ "Nothing" functions as a pronoun, replacing a noun phrase and indicating an absence of something lost or worth wondering about.

• You know it only feels like darkness When the light doesn't shine on your side

  ➔ Conditional sentence with "when" indicating time.

  ➔ The sentence expresses a condition: "when" the light doesn't shine, then it feels like darkness.

• Or were we fighting for our lives?

  ➔ Past continuous tense in an interrogative sentence expressing doubt or contemplation.

  ➔ The past continuous "were fighting" suggests an ongoing action in the past that is now being questioned. The use of a question mark indicates reflection or doubt about the nature of that past action.

• It doesn't matter we survived

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission) of "that" in a clause after "matter".

  ➔ The word "that" is omitted before the clause "we survived". This is a common practice in spoken and informal English.

• But if I could have one last time with you

  ➔ Second conditional sentence: "if" + past simple, "would" + infinitive.

  ➔ This expresses a hypothetical situation that is unlikely or contrary to fact in the present.

• Love is in the words unspoken, all these moments are golden

  ➔ Subject-verb agreement with the present tense "is" and "are".

  ➔ "Love" is a singular noun, so it takes the singular verb "is". "Moments" is plural, so it takes the plural verb "are".

• I asked the past if nothing lasts why don't you show me?

  ➔ Indirect question using "if" combined with a negative polarity item ("nothing").

  ➔ The sentence combines an indirect question (I asked the past if...) with a negative word (nothing) to express doubt or a challenge. The phrasing is more complex than a direct question.

• And though it'll only feels like darkness 'Til somebody turns on the light

  ➔ "Though" as a concessive conjunction and "til" (until) as a subordinating conjunction indicating time.

  ➔ "Though" introduces a contrasting idea, and "til" specifies the duration of the feeling of darkness. The contraction "it'll" is also present.
