Key Grammar Structures

• 在時間的交界

  ➔ '的' (de) particle for possession/attribution

  ➔ '的' (de) is used to indicate a possessive or attributive relationship, similar to "'s" or "of" in English. Here, it connects "時間" (time) with "交界" (boundary), meaning "boundary of time".

• 噩夢分割的畫面

  ➔ '的' (de) particle connecting a verb phrase to a noun

  ➔ '的' (de) is used to turn a verb phrase (like "噩夢分割" - nightmare divides) into an adjective modifying the following noun ("畫面" - scene), meaning "the scene divided by nightmares" or "nightmare-divided scene".

• 我只想被偷走

  ➔ '被' (bèi) passive voice

  ➔ '被' (bèi) is a common particle used to form the passive voice, indicating that the subject is the recipient of the action. "被偷走" means "to be stolen away".

• 帶上面具看透

  ➔ Resultative complement '透' (tòu)

  ➔ '透' (tòu) acts as a resultative complement, indicating that an action (看 - to see) is completed thoroughly or seen through, implying understanding or revealing the truth.

• 我能看見

  ➔ Modal verb '能' (néng)

• 卻的住台

  ➔ Potential complement '得' (de)

  ➔ The particle '得' (de) (often written as '的' in lyrics for poetic reasons or typo) is used as a potential complement after a verb, indicating that an action is possible or achievable. "住" means to stay or withstand, so "住得" (or "住的" as written) means "can stay" or "able to withstand/hold."

• 聽不見就

  ➔ Negative resultative complement '不見' and conditional '就' (jiù)
