wait what? 'To become' and 'becoming' mean two different things? 

No not really 

Becomes = has happened

To become / becoming = will happen

"To become" would be the more accurate one in this case since it's something that either is or isn't so there will be a specific time in which it will become certified. So u say "to become"

 

"Becoming" makes more sense for something that is happening gradually but people sometimes also still use "becoming" for future tense. So either or could work and ppl would understand

 

But the way u wrote "becomes" you are saying it happened already. It basically means the same in this sentence structure as if you wrote "became"

Well, in French

 

amateur = Something/someone professional

amateur = Something/someone unprofessional

 

hôte = the person who invites

hôte = the person who's invited

 

that's the same but worse

English has some words that can be used in so many contexts and it's spelt the exact same. One example is the word "Off"

 

- Turn Off the light

- The alarm went off (meaning it went on so it literally makes no sense)

- Something set her off (like triggered)

- You have been put off the team

- that totally turned me off

- Get that off the counter

 

And there's more ways of using "off" in completely different meanings but I'd be here a while if I tried to think of all of them.

 

Another one is "up"

 

- Turn up the volume (louder)

- I'm going up to my uncle's cottage (ppl sometimes will use that term even if they are going south )

- go up the mountain (height)

- you are really getting up there (as in becoming a pro at something)

- I got up (as in wake up)

 

In English we got weird words like that, that are the exact same and spelt the same as used in totally different ways

I've never thought about the lyrics but imagine the setting of a concert when the lights go down ready for the artist to make their grand entrance 

Edit: lmaoo wait, Google says the lyrics are "TURN THE LIGHTS ON" 

... but other sites say "out"
