Je veux qu'on m'écoute

-
S'te-plaît, ne te moque pas de moi
➔ Negative imperative with a reflexive verb
➔ 'Ne te moque pas' is the negative imperative form of the reflexive verb 'se moquer'. In negative imperatives, the reflexive pronoun ('te') comes before the verb.

Est-ce qu'il faut que j'te le repète?
➔ Impersonal construction with 'il faut que' followed by subjunctive

Je deviens encore plus bête
➔ Comparative of adjectives

-
Paraît que la vie est belle
➔ Impersonal verb 'paraître que' followed by the indicative mood
➔ 'Paraît que' (it seems that) is an impersonal construction, and it's followed by the indicative mood ('est') because it expresses a belief or appearance rather than a doubt or wish. Note that the spelling is “paraît” not “parait”.
-
Toutes ces belles lumières et ce tumulte autour de moi
➔ Use of demonstrative adjective 'ces' and the repetition of the determiner 'ce'
➔ 'Ces' is the plural demonstrative adjective (these). 'Ce tumulte' shows the use of the masculine singular demonstrative adjective. The structure highlights the multitude of impressions the singer is experiencing. The use of both highlights and emphasizes the feeling of being overwhelmed.
-
Par delà le bien, le mal
➔ Preposition 'par delà' meaning 'beyond'
➔ 'Par delà' is a preposition that means 'beyond' or 'further than'. It’s more literary than other prepositions such as ‘au-delà de’.
-
Pardonne-moi le jour où je ne pourrai plus te parler
➔ Future anterior in a subordinate clause introduced by 'où'
➔ The phrase 'le jour où' introduces a time clause. Within that clause, 'je ne pourrai plus te parler' expresses a future action (not being able to speak). However, it's not using future tense, as it is implied after 'le jour où'.
