Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Haven't you heard? I'm a new girl, not

the same. But we're just stuck in the

same place. Such a shame. You're just

the remnant of memorories. So faint like

history erased.

All my friends, they just some loser.

Not with the pain or one tear from my

eye. Am I insane? Cuz secretly inside

you stay on my mind. Think about you all

the time. Don't know why I'm so

and I get so obsessed. Don't you treat

me like the rest. I'm your unicorn.

I'm at the club only cuz I might see you

there. And if I'm honest, this place

makes me kind of scared. The DJ said,

"Put your hands up in the air, but I was

unaware."

C. You stay on my mind. Think about you

all the time. Don't know why I'm so

obsessed. Don't you treat me like the

rest. I'm you.

I'm you.

Heat.

Heat.

You stay on my mind. Think about you all

the time. Don't know why I'm so

Don't you treat me like the rest. I'm

your unicorn.

I'm your unicorn.

I'm your unicorn.

Key Grammar Structures

• Haven't you heard? I'm a new girl, not the same.

  ➔ Present Perfect with Auxiliary Verb & Negative Adverb

  ➔ "Haven't" is a contraction of "have not", forming the Present Perfect. It indicates an action that started in the past and continues to have relevance now. The phrase questions if the listener is aware of the speaker's change. "not the same" is a negative comparison.

• Am I insane? Cuz secretly inside you stay on my mind.

  ➔ Rhetorical Question & Adverbial Clause of Reason

  ➔ The sentence begins with a rhetorical question, not expecting an answer. "Cuz" is a colloquial contraction of "because". "secretly" is an adverb modifying 'inside', indicating *how* the person stays on the speaker's mind.

• Don't know why I'm so obsessed.

  ➔ Indirect Question & Adjective Clause

  ➔ This is an indirect question, starting with "Don't know why..." instead of directly asking "Why am I so obsessed?". "obsessed" functions as a subject complement, describing the speaker's state.

• I'm your unicorn.

  ➔ Possessive Pronoun & Metaphor

  ➔ "your" is a possessive pronoun indicating belonging. The entire phrase is a metaphor, suggesting the speaker is unique and special to the person they are addressing.
