Key Grammar Structures
-
もしもあの改札の前で 立ち止まらず歩いていれば 君の顔も知らずのまま 幸せに生きていただろうか
➔ Conditional / Counterfactual Hypothetical Past (もしも〜ば)
➔ The pattern "もしも A ば B だろうか/た" (e.g., "もしも...“歩いていれば”") expresses a hypothetical situation in the past that did not happen. It often conveys regret or speculation about a different outcome had circumstances been otherwise.
-
痣も傷も知らずに
➔ V-ずに (Negative Te-form)
➔ "“知らずに”" is the negative て-form of "知る" (to know), meaning "without knowing" or "unaware of." It indicates that the action described by the main verb occurs without the preceding action or state. It is a more formal or literary alternative to V-ないで.
-
光っていく
➔ V-ていく (Directional / Aspectual Verb)
➔ The compound verb "“光っていく”" combines "光る" (to shine) with "〜ていく." "〜ていく" indicates a change or action that progresses *away* from the speaker, into the future, or gradually. Here, it suggests something "starting to shine" or "continuously shining" as it moves forward or as time progresses.
-
目の前をぶち抜くプラズマ
➔ V-抜く (Compound Verb / Intensive Meaning)
➔ The compound verb "“ぶち抜く”" combines "ぶち" (an intensifier, often implying force or breaking) with "抜く" (to pull out, to pass through). "V-抜く" generally means "to do something through to the end," "to do something completely," or "to do something forcefully/thoroughly." Here, it implies the plasma "smashing right through" or "piercing completely through" what's in front.
-
何光年と離れていても
➔ V-ても (Concessive Conditional)
➔ The pattern "V-ても" (here, "“離れていても”") means "even if" or "no matter how much/what." It expresses a concession, indicating that a certain result or situation will hold true regardless of the condition stated in the first clause.
-
君の顔も知らずのまま
➔ V-ずにのまま / Nのまま (State / Manner)
➔ "〜“まま”" indicates that a state or condition remains unchanged. "知らずのまま" (from 知る + ず + の + まま) means "as it is, without knowing" or "without having known." It implies that a situation continues without a particular action or change occurring.
-
ここも銀河の果てだと知って
➔ 〜と知る (Quoting Particle と with 知る)
➔ The particle "“と”" is used here as a quotative particle, similar to "that" in English, introducing the content of what is known or thought. "知って" is the て-form of "知る" (to know). So, "〜だと知って" means "knowing that..." or "realizing that...".
-
倒れる刹那僕は確かに見た
➔ 〜刹那 (The Instant / The Moment)
➔ "“刹那”" means "the instant" or "the moment." When used after a verb in the plain form (e.g., "倒れる“刹那”"), it indicates that the action in the second clause occurs at the very moment the action in the first clause happens or is about to happen.
-
聞こえて 答えて 届いて 欲しくて 光って 光って 光って 叫んだ
➔ V-て (Linking / Sequential Actions / Reasons)
➔ The て-form (e.g., "“聞こえて”", "“答えて”", "“欲しくて”") connects multiple clauses, indicating a sequence of events, concurrent actions, or a cause/reason. Here, it links a series of actions or states leading up to the final action ("叫んだ" - screamed), suggesting a cumulative effect or progression.
-
痛みにすら気づかずに
➔ 〜にすら (Emphasis / Even)
➔ "〜“にすら”" combines the particle "に" (to/at) with "すら" (even). "すら" adds emphasis, meaning "even" or "not even." It highlights that something unexpected or extreme is included, or that something very basic or obvious is not. Here, "痛みにすら" means "not even to the pain" or "without even noticing the pain."
