未來簡單式

What's up guys today, I'm gonna do a video on eight

現在進行式

Exactly what they sound like they might mean and I'm gonna be taking these

Phrases from a song called who I am hates who I've been it's by reliant K

Which is one of my favorite bands of all time now this video is meant more for

Advanced students who already know some English and it might be more difficult for beginners

But if you already know some English then this is going to be very useful for you to understand these

Phrases the first thing I want to talk about is the word proverbial when he says the line

First let's take a look at what a proverb is it's a short popular saying so when he says the proverbial

Sunrise he's talking about a sunrise that is spoken about in some saying the next thing

I want to point out is the phrase losing my mind when he says

He's not actually losing anything when he says this losing my mind is a common phrase and it means going crazy

Like he's tumbling down the slippery slope of mental illness another phrase he mentions in here is to shy away from and he says

Something so when you're shying away from

something it means that you don't want to get too close to that thing and when he says I will shy away from the

Specifics he means that he doesn't want to talk about something very

Specifically he doesn't want to give too many details about that subject

Another phrase that comes up in this song is crossed the line the actual words in the song

To cross the line means to go too far or to do something too much a

Lot of times we use this phrase when we're talking about personal relationships with other people for example if your brother wants to borrow

$5 from you one time that's fine. It's not really a problem, but if he wants to borrow

$500 from you, then you might say that he's crossing the line because that's way too much

And he shouldn't be asking you for that another phrase

I want to point out here is the phrase take it back and what he says is

When you take something back it's because you regret doing that thing and you're sorry about it

So basically you apologize and you try to make it right again for example

Let's say you tell someone that his mama is ugly and that wasn't very nice of you

But you did and he might get mad at you until you

Take it back so what he's really asking you to do is to change your mind and say that his mama is not

Ugly so you can say sorry I take it back as a way of apologizing

Otherwise you could just hold your ground and maintain your position that his mama is indeed ugly next phrase

I want to talk about is keep to myself, and he says

This phrase means to isolate yourself in other words you are

Intentionally staying away from other people because you want to be alone so when he says I couldn't keep to myself

Enough it means that he always wants to be more isolated from other people and in his mind

It's never enough, so he's always trying to keep to himself

Even more now let's talk about the phrase bottled up inside. He says

Now imagine a bottle of soda, and you shake up the bottle and it begins to build pressure a lot of pressure

Inside, but it's in a bottle so all that pressure can't go anywhere. It's all contained in the bottle

Until you open the bottle and then the whole thing blows up because there was way too much pressure inside

This is a metaphor for what's going on inside of him so when he says that he has things bottled up inside

He means that he has a lot of emotions building up inside him or a lot of feelings a lot of pressure maybe

Anxiety or anger or sadness or whatever it might be and it's creating a lot of pressure in his life

But it's all bottled up inside him, and he's not letting it out, and that's not healthy because when it all comes out

It's probably gonna blow up like the bottle of soda the last phrase. I want to talk about is sinking up

reverberating means echoing so to sync up is a short way of saying to

Synchronize and it means to make two or more things happen at the same time

So if the footsteps are syncing up with his heartbeat

Then that means that his heart is beating at the same time and with the same rhythm as the footsteps

And if you have any questions about the phrases that I talked about or any of the other
