Key Grammar Structures

• Never been saved, but I've never come closer

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense & Contrast with 'but'

  ➔ The 'Present Perfect' ('have/has + past participle') indicates an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance in the present. 'But' introduces a contrasting idea, highlighting a change in the speaker's experience.

• A million fresh starts, what I needed was closure, yeah

  ➔ Relative Clause (What...was)

  ➔ The phrase 'what I needed was closure' uses a relative clause starting with 'what'. 'What' refers to the entire preceding phrase ('a million fresh starts') and defines what was truly required.

• You were the current that carried me

  ➔ Metaphorical Use of 'was'

  ➔ The use of 'was' here isn't literal. It's a metaphor comparing the person to a 'current' – a force that moves and supports. It implies a powerful, guiding influence.

• Lines in the sand, only you can read

  ➔ Use of 'only'

  ➔ The word 'only' emphasizes the exclusivity of the person's ability to understand the speaker's boundaries or intentions ('lines in the sand'). It highlights a unique connection.

• You got my S.O.S.O.S.

  ➔ Repetition for Emphasis

  ➔ The repetition of 'S.O.S.' three times amplifies the urgency and desperation of the speaker's plea for help. It's a stylistic device to convey strong emotion.
