vampire
Letra:
[English]
I hate to give the satisfaction asking, "How you're doing now?"
How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
Just what you wanted
Look at you, cool guy, you got it
I see the parties and the diamonds
Sometimes when I close my eyes
Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise
I loved you truly
You gotta laugh at the stupidity
'Cause I've made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should've known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, dream crusher
Bleeding me dry like a damn vampire
...
And every girl I ever talked to
Told me you were bad, bad news
You called them crazy
God, I hate the way I called them crazy too
You're so convincing
How do you lie without flinching?
(How do you lie? How do you lie? How do you lie?)
Ooh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, tragic little thrill
Can't figure out just how you do it, and God knows I never will
Went for me and not her
'Cause girls your age know better
I've made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should've known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, dream crusher
Bleeding me dry like a damn vampire
...
You said, "It was true love", but wouldn't that be hard?
You can't love anyone, 'cause that would mean you had a heart
I tried you help you out, now I know that I can't
'Cause how you think's the kind of thing I'll never understand
...
I've made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should've known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, dream crusher
Bleeding me dry like a damn vampire
...

How's the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
➔ Cláusula relativa reducida (built off)
➔ "built off" es una cláusula relativa reducida. La cláusula completa sería "How's the castle *that was* built off people...". El pronombre relativo "that" y el verbo auxiliar "was" se omiten.
-
Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise
➔ Pretérito simple (sold) y cláusula 'that' implícita (you sold (it) as..)
➔ El verbo "sold" está en pretérito simple, describiendo una acción completada en el pasado. También, podemos añadir la palabra "it" después del verbo "sold" que representa los "six months of torture". Entonces la frase contiene la conjunción 'that' oculta mientras la oradora dice que fue engañada.

And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news
➔ Cláusula Relativa (I ever talked to), Pasado Continuo en Estilo Indirecto (you were bad, bad news)
➔ "I ever talked to" es una cláusula relativa que modifica "every girl". Esto especifica a qué chicas se refiere. La frase "you were bad, bad news" es discurso indirecto; la declaración original hecha por las chicas probablemente fue "you are bad, bad news."
