Key Grammar Structures

• When the days are cold and the cards all fold

  ➔ Conditional clause (When clause)

  ➔ Conditional clause using "When" to describe general truths or recurring situations. It refers to a time when something happens, usually leading to a consistent outcome. Here, it sets a general gloomy scenario.

• and the ones we hail are the worst of all

  ➔ Relative clause with implied relative pronoun

  ➔ Relative clause introduced by "the ones" (acting as a demonstrative pronoun and antecedent) followed by an implied relative pronoun (e.g., "who" or "that") to provide more information about "the ones."

• I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you

  ➔ Informal contraction 'wanna'

  ➔ Informal contraction "wanna" is commonly used in spoken English instead of "want to," followed by the base form of the verb (infinitive without "to").

• No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed.

  ➔ Concessive clause ('No matter what') and Passive voice

  ➔ The phrase "No matter what" introduces a concessive clause, indicating that something is true regardless of the circumstance. "Are made of" is an example of the passive voice (present simple) showing composition or origin.

• It's where my demons hide

  ➔ Nominal relative clause (wh-clause of place)

  ➔ This is a nominal relative clause (also known as a free relative clause or wh-clause) acting as a complement to "It's," providing information about a place. "Where" functions as a relative adverb.

• Don't get too close, it's dark inside.

  ➔ Negative imperative and intensifier 'too'

  ➔ An imperative sentence in its negative form ("Don't get") used to give a strong warning or command. "Too" is an intensifier meaning "excessively" before an adjective.

• Will come calling out at the mess you've made.

  ➔ Future Simple and Present Perfect tenses

  ➔ This sentence combines the Future Simple tense ("will come") to indicate a future action, and the Present Perfect tense ("you've made") in a relative clause to describe a past action with present relevance.

• It's woven in my soul

  ➔ Passive Voice (Present Simple)

  ➔ This is an example of the passive voice (Present Simple) formed with "be" + past participle ("woven"). It emphasizes the state or result of an action rather than the doer of the action.

• I can't escape this now, unless you show me how.

  ➔ Conditional clause with 'unless'

  ➔ Conditional clause using "unless," which means "if not." It expresses a negative condition, implying that escaping is impossible *if* the other person does *not* show how.

• Your eyes they shine so bright

  ➔ Intensifier 'so' before an adjective

  ➔ The adverb "so" is used as an intensifier before an adjective ("bright") to emphasize a quality or degree. The pronoun "they" is used redundantly here for emphasis, a common feature in informal speech or song lyrics.
