➔ Impersonal verb construction with 'capitare'
➔ The verb "capitare" (to happen) is used impersonally. The structure is "è la prima volta che" + subjunctive/indicative depending on the nuance, here "capita" is indicative because it's stating a fact. It translates to 'It's the first time that it happens to me'.

Perché così profondamente non l'avevo mai sentita
➔ Past perfect tense with adverb placement
➔ The "l'avevo sentita" is the past perfect tense (plusquamperfetto), indicating an action completed before another action in the past. The adverb "così profondamente" is placed between the auxiliary "avevo" and the participle "sentita", which is a common construction in Italian for emphasis.

E non sentire più tensione solo vita dentro di me

Non c'è più nessuna divisione tra di noi
➔ Negative existential construction with 'nessuna' and preposition 'tra'

Siamo una sola direzione in questo universo che si muove
➔ Relative clause 'che si muove' modifying 'universo'
➔ "Che si muove" is a relative clause modifying the noun "universo". "Che" functions as the relative pronoun (who/which/that) and "si muove" is the verb (to move) in the reflexive form. The whole clause describes the kind of universe they are in – a universe that moves.
-
Davo meno spazio al cuore e più alla mente
➔ Comparative structures: 'meno... di' and 'più... di' (implied)
➔ The sentence uses comparative structures to contrast the amount of space given to the heart versus the mind. 'Meno spazio al cuore' means 'less space to the heart'. The 'di' is implied, as in 'Meno spazio al cuore di quanto ne davo alla mente'. Similarly, 'più alla mente' means 'more to the mind' (than to the heart).
