Can't Sleep
歌詞:
[English]
4:30 a.m., I'm awake again
Singing to the dark through open eyes
While dreaming I see only you and me
Stuck between desire and compromise
If I said I want you back I'd be a liar
There's nothing left of us to long for anymore
But inside the ashes burns an endless fire
And every night I can't help reaching out for more
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
You're leaving me scars scattered in my heart
A road map of all the places you have been
And I can't escape, can't wash this away
My love has burned your mark so deep within
If I said I want you back I'd be a liar
There's nothing left of us to long for anymore
But inside the ashes burns an endless fire
And every night I can't help reaching out for more
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
(Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep)
(Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep)
(Sleep, sleep, sleep)
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep
And I can't sleep, you're so far away from me
And I can't sleep, and I can't sleep

文法:
-
4:30 a.m., I'm awake again
➔ 形容詞の述語補語
➔ 単語「awake」は主語「I」を説明する形容詞です。述語補語として機能し、動詞「am」の後に主語に関する詳細情報を提供します。
-
While dreaming I see only you and me
➔ 倒置（任意）
➔ 標準的な順序は「While dreaming, I only see you and me」です。 ここで、単語「only」は直接目的語（you and me）を強調します。 この構造は、話者が見るものを強調します。
-
If I said I want you back I'd be a liar
➔ 仮定法過去
➔ この文は仮定法過去を使用しています。 構造は「If + 過去形, would/could/might + 原形」です。 起こりそうにない仮定の状況を表します。
-
There's nothing left of us to long for anymore
➔ 不定詞を含む関係詞節の省略
➔ 「to long for anymore」というフレーズは、「nothing」を修飾する省略された関係詞節です。完全な節は「There's nothing left of us that I could long for anymore」となります。 関係代名詞と助動詞は、簡潔にするために省略されています。
-
But inside the ashes burns an endless fire
➔ 強調のための倒置
➔ 通常、語順は「But an endless fire burns inside the ashes」となります。 語順を逆にして、前置詞句「inside the ashes」を先頭に置くと、火の位置が強調されます。 これは、詩的な効果のための一般的な文体上の工夫です。
-
You're leaving me scars scattered in my heart
➔ 名詞を修飾する分詞句
➔ 分詞「scattered」は名詞「scars」を修飾します。 「Scattered in my heart」は形容詞句として機能し、傷跡の種類に関する詳細を提供します。
-
My love has burned your mark so deep within
➔ 副詞の配置と強調 (so...that)
➔ 単語「deep」は「burned」を修飾する副詞として機能します。 この構造は、愛の激しさの結果を暗に示唆しています。 'that' を使用して明示的に述べられているわけではありませんが、含みは「My love has burned your mark so deep within *that* it is impossible to remove」です。
