네! Thank you for the request and for your patience! Click here for a full list of my breakdowns, and feel free to request a song I haven't done yet!
I referred to colorcodedlyrics.com for both the lyrics and for help with the translations! For more information about the grammar structures I break down, click on the links to see my full-length lessons about them.
Also, I have some more requests for breakdowns lined up, so thank you all for your patience as I work through them! Let's start!

Grammar
우리 처음 봤던 날 조용했던 내 맘 속 새로운 세상이 열린 듯 유난히 빨라지던 Move 나 혼자 알고 있었던 감춰진 내 비밀도 너에게 딱 내 전부다 말하고 싶어지던 Mood
The day we first met / Inside my quiet heart / As if a new world opened up / Began to move particularly quickly / Even my hidden secrets that only I knew / The mood I wanted to tell you all about
[verb stem] + 았/었/였던
This structure is one way to turn verbs into the noun-modifying form, which means that when you attach it to a verb, you can use it to describe a noun. This form is specifically used for past-tense noun modifications. The line, 처음 봤던 날, for example, means “the day we first met” (or “the day we first saw each other”). The verb, 보다, is in the past tense, and describes the noun 날, meaning “day” -- the day that we first met. Likewise, 알고 있다 means "to know" or "to be aware." 나 혼자 알고 있었던 감춰진 내 비밀, therefore, means "my hidden secret that only I knew."
The structure [verb stem] + ㄴ/은 is another way to make verbs modify nouns in the past tense. The two structures are quite similar, but if I had to explain how they’re different, I think that -았/었/였던 expresses the fact that the action was completed and you are no longer doing it, while -ㄴ/은 just expresses it was something you did in the past. I’m honestly not too sure about this difference though, so please lmk if I’m wrong!
[adjective stem] + 았/었/였던
This structure is the equivalent of [verb stem] + ㄴ/은 but for adjectives. It's used to turn adjectives into the noun-modifying form in the past tense. The words, 조용했던 내 맘, mean "my heart that was quiet."
[verb stem] + ㄴ/은 듯
This structure means "as if" and is used for the past tense. 새로운 세상이 열린 듯, for example, means "as if a new world opened." 열리다 means "to open" or "to be opened," so 열린 듯 means "as if it was opened."
[adjective stem] + 아/어/여지다
When used with adjectives, this structure means that something is becoming more that adjective. 빠르다, for example, means "to be quick, while 빨라지다 means "to become quicker."
Likewise, 싶다 means "to want," but is technically an adjective in Korean. 싶어지다, therefore, means "to start to want [to do smth]." Naver Dictionary defines it as "to feel inclined/tempted to do something."
[verb stem] + 던
This structure is common as well. Attaching only -던 to verb stems is yet another way to make them past-tense noun-modifying. The difference between this one and [verb stem] + 았/었/였던 is that just -던 alone suggests that either you used to do that verb repeatedly but don't anymore OR that you were doing an action, but did not complete it. 빨라지던 Move, means "the move that became quicker." This, I think, suggests that the "move" did not stop becoming quicker and thus the action of it becoming quicker was not completed. Quite complicated, but I hope it makes sense! I recommend clicking on the link above for more details.
점점 더 두근대는 맘 전부 다 줄게 Take my heart 분명 넌 나의 Destiny 빛이나 내 맘 가득히 아찔한 기분이 이런 건가 봐 Darling 점점 더 난 네게 빠져가
My heart that pounds more and more / I'll give you everything, take my heart / Clearly you are my destiny / It shines fully in my heart / I guess this is what that dizzy feeling is darling / I fall for you more and more
[verb stem] + ㄹ/을게(요)
This is a type of future tense. It differs from the regular future tense -ㄹ/을 거예요 because -ㄹ/을게(요) is used only for saying you will do something that concerns the person you’re talking to or is for the sake of the person you’re talking to. 전부 다 줄게, meaning “I’ll give you everything,” is for the other person’s sake, for example. 주다 means “to give.”
[adjective stem] + ㄴ/은가 보다
This translates to “I guess...” 아찔한 기분이 이런 건가 봐, for example, uses the adjective 이렇다, meaning “to be like this.” It means “I guess this is what it’s like to feel dizzy” -- something to that effect.
내 모든 기준들이 너로 정해져 버리듯 지구를 맴맴 도는 저기 달처럼 우린 Woo Woo 만나게 될 거야
As if all my standards were set to you / Like the moon that revolves around the earth / We will meet each other
[noun] + 처럼
This structure means “like [noun]” and is used for comparison. 달처럼 means “like the moon,” for example.
[verb stem] + 게 되다
This structure means that you ended up doing something or that something ended up happening. Literally, 우린 만나게 될 거야 means “we will end up meeting.” 만나다 means “to meet.”
That’s about it for this breakdown -- I hope it was helpful without being too overwhelming :) Thanks for the request! See you in the next lesson! 화이팅!
