Grammar notes (4)

-지 못하게 하다 = make (it) not be able to ~

오늘 이 밤이 지나가지 못하게 할 거야

The causative treats the night as a creature — pinned down, denied its passage.

Pattern: [stem] + 지 못하게 하다

Example: 말하지 못하게 하다 (keep from speaking)

-ㄴ 채(로) = while keeping the state

숨을 죽인 채 잠드는 때를 노려

-ㄴ 채 freezes even breathing: everything pauses for one precise moment.

Pattern: [stem] + ㄴ 채로

Example: 켠 채 (with it left on)

-되다 passive + -는 = being repeated

끝없이 반복되는 악몽 속에서

The passive shows who's in charge: the nightmare repeats itself; the sleeper just endures it.

Pattern: [stem] + 지는

Example: 반복되다 (be repeated)

-겠지 = probably will (rhetorical)

난 변함없이 꿈을 지휘하겠지

-겠지 dresses control as confidence: spoken like fate, felt like a smirk.

Pattern: [stem] + 겠지

Example: 알겠지 (you know, right)
