Have you ever learned 連体修飾節[れんたいしゅうしょくせつ] "the adnominal/attributive clause", which is the equivalent to the relative clause in English grammar?I now understand , that the subject is 偶然 [ぐうぜん] coincidence/es and the verb is 重ねてた[かさねてた] .
Indeed. About the れんきょうけい , that is the chopped form of the verb right? The one you use without the masu. For example in たべる it's たべ . How does adding that half part help in the sentence if you don't add any other endings to it? Just the し doesn't make sense to me, please enlighten me.し is the 連用形 (れんようけい, continuative form) of する. They left する off because it's a play on words, and probably fits the rhythm better. The word order is different for the same reason. Remember: it's a song. They tend to break the rules of language (along with poems) more frequently than any other format.
The absence of a subject particle makes it a relative clause to the くうぜん clause , is that what you're trying to convey ?Have you ever learned 連体修飾節[れんたいしゅうしょくせつ] "the adnominal/attributive clause", which is the equivalent to the relative clause in English grammar?
ふたりを重ねてた偶然
coincidences that stuck two of us
偶然がふたりを重ねてた。
Coincidences stuck two of us.
Thus, 偶然 is the subject, and 暗転（し、）断線（した） are the main verbs. 重ねてた is the verb in the modifying clause.

I see.It's れんようけい. It's called the continuative form because it's used to connect to clauses, so it isn't a full form with tense, just like the -te form doesn't have tense. Its meaning is "V, and..."
So-called relative clauses in Japanese are formed by placing the modifying clause directly before the head noun. In this case 偶然 is the head noun (the noun being modified), and ふたりを重ねてた is the modifying clause. It doesn't have anything to do with the subject marker. For instance, you can say 犬が食べた肉, where 肉 is the head noun and 犬が食べた is the modifying clause, and it would mean "the meat that the dog ate".
To interprete ましょう as a gentle command, "Wrap the meat and put it in the refrigerator.", is more common here.肉をラップでくるんで冷蔵庫にしまいましょう
I will wrap the meat in the refrigerator.
Anyone explain for me the grammar, especially しまいましょう?
It is slightly confusing. Normally the indirect, euphemized command I have seen is limited to instruction situations. So if ましょう is politely showing ones own volition it would have to be an act benefiting or on behalf of the hearer, is that correct ? "Let me explain this/put the meat away" etc.To interprete ましょう as a gentle command, "Wrap the meat and put it in the refrigerator.", is more common here.
How about like this ?How would I say "I'm trying to find time for____" in Japanese? As in, "I'm trying to find time to practice music."
Thanks.
That makes huge sense. It sounds like the OP was reading straight out of a food preparation handbook or such.The example sentence seems to be taken from a recipe or something, even if the OP quoted it from a textbook.
The idiom has an entirely different meaning in Japanese.
