Grammar:

• Around the world

  ➔ Preposition + Noun Phrase

  ➔ "Around" is a preposition indicating location or direction. "The world" is a noun phrase, referring to the Earth.

• Around the world

  ➔ Ellipsis

  ➔ The song relies heavily on ellipsis. A complete sentence like "I travel around the world" is implied but only the key phrase "Around the world" is explicitly stated. This creates repetition and rhythm.

• Around the world

  ➔ Declarative sentence (implied)

  ➔ While appearing as a simple phrase, the lyric implicitly functions as a declarative sentence. The speaker is stating a fact or an experience, even if the subject and verb are missing.

• Around the world

  ➔ Repetition for emphasis and rhythm

  ➔ The constant repetition of "Around the world" is a key feature of the song. This technique is used to emphasize the idea and create a hypnotic, danceable rhythm.
