Key Grammar Structures

  • Don’t know when my nights became so complicated

    ➔ Indirect Question; *So* + Adjective

    ➔ The sentence uses an indirect question within 'Don't know when...'. 'So complicated' uses 'so' to intensify the adjective 'complicated'.

  • Can’t recall my mornings ever being this faded

    ➔ Gerund after prepositions (*ever being*)

    ➔ The word "being" is a gerund, functioning as a noun and following the implied preposition 'of' after 'recall'.

  • Maybe this is karma definition of jaded, Oh

    ➔ Noun + Noun (definition of jaded)

    "Definition" is a noun that modifies the noun "jaded". It implies "the definition *of* jadedness".

  • Trying to put a muzzle on my crazy feelings

    ➔ Present Participle as verb (Trying)

    "Trying" is the present participle of "try", used here as the main verb of the clause, implying an ongoing action.

  • One minute I’m cool and then the next I’m trippin, no

    ➔ Ellipsis (The next *minute*)

    ➔ The word "minute" is omitted after "the next". It's understood from the context. This is ellipsis.

  • With somebody new I swear she don’t deserve this

    ➔ Informal Negative Contraction (don’t)

    "Don’t" is a contraction of "does not", used here instead of "doesn’t", which is standard for the third-person singular in informal speech.

  • Just to let it wash away
