Pompeii
Letra:
[English]
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
Grey clouds roll over the hills, bringing darkness from above
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
Oh-oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down in the city that we love
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
Grey clouds roll over the hills bringing darkness from above
(Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?)
But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like you've been here before? Oh
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
How am I going to be an optimist about this?
If you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all? Oh-oh
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu
Eh, eheu, eheu

I was left to my own devices
➔ Voz pasiva
➔ El sujeto "I" recibe la acción, en lugar de realizarla. "I" no eligió estar solo; alguien o algo lo causó. "was left" es pasado simple pasivo.
-
Many days fell away with nothing to show
➔ Verbo frasal (fell away)
➔ "Fell away" significa desaparecer o disminuir. En este contexto, significa que muchos días pasaron sin lograr nada significativo.
-
Does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
➔ Oración condicional (Tipo 0/Verdad general)
➔ Esta oración es similar a una oración condicional de Tipo 0. Aunque no usa "if", la pregunta implica una condición. "Does it feel like..." es similar a decir "If you close your eyes, does it feel like...". Sugiere que una acción particular (cerrar los ojos) conduce a un resultado o sentimiento consistente.
-
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
➔ Contracción informal e intención futura
➔ "Gonna" es una contracción informal de "going to", que se usa para expresar una intención futura. La oración expresa duda y una pregunta sobre cómo mantener una perspectiva positiva.
-
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
➔ Pasado simple pasivo (We were caught up)
➔ "We were caught up" es otro ejemplo de la voz pasiva en el pasado simple. Indica que algo les sucedió *a* ellos, en lugar de algo que hicieron activamente. No eligieron ser atrapados; fueron atrapados por algo externo.
-
In your pose as the dust settled around us
➔ Frase preposicional como adverbial
➔ La frase "In your pose" funciona como adverbial, modificando la cláusula principal. Agrega contexto, especificando la manera o circunstancia en que ocurrieron los eventos.
-
Oh, where do we begin, the rubble or our sins?
➔ Pregunta retórica y elipsis
➔ Esta es una pregunta retórica; no está destinada a ser respondida directamente, sino a hacer una afirmación. La segunda parte de la pregunta, "the rubble or our sins?", usa elipsis, omitiendo palabras implícitas como "should we begin with".
