Grammar:

• I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND OR ANYTHING DAMN

  ➔ Negation with 'not' and indefinite pronoun 'anything'

  ➔ This line uses simple negation with "not" to state a clear lack of friendship. "Anything" emphasizes the lack of any kind of relationship.

• YOU THINK THAT YOU'RE THE MAN

  ➔ Subordinate clause with 'that'

  ➔ This uses a subordinate clause introduced by "that", indicating what the subject "you" believes. The 'that' can often be omitted in informal speech.

• I THINK THEREFORE I AM

  ➔ Conjunctive adverb 'therefore' to show cause and effect.

  ➔ "Therefore" connects the action of thinking with the conclusion of existence. It demonstrates logical reasoning.

• GET MY PRETTY NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH

  ➔ Imperative mood.

  ➔ This line is a direct command using the imperative mood. The verb "Get" is used at the beginning of the sentence without a subject to give an order.

• WE ARE NOT THE SAME WITH OR WITHOUT

  ➔ Use of prepositions 'with' and 'without' to show contrasting states.

  ➔ This line uses "with" and "without" to emphasize that the difference between the speaker and the subject exists regardless of any circumstances.

• DON'T TALK 'BOUT ME LIKE HOW YOU MIGHT KNOW HOW I FEEL

  ➔ Use of auxiliary verb 'might' to express possibility. Indirect question: 'how I feel'.

  ➔ "Might" indicates the speaker's doubt or disapproval of the listener's presumption. "How I feel" is an indirect question functioning as a noun clause.

• YOUR WORLD'S AN IDEAL

  ➔ Contraction 'world's' indicating possessive case. Use of indefinite article 'an' before a vowel sound.

  ➔ 'World's' is a shortened form of 'world is'. 'An' is used instead of 'a' because 'ideal' begins with a vowel sound.

• I'D RATHER YOU REMAIN UNREMARKABLE

  ➔ Use of 'would rather' to express preference. Use of the subjunctive mood 'remain' after 'rather'.

  ➔ "Would rather" expresses a preference. 'Remain' is used in its base form (subjunctive) after 'rather' + subject.
