The five youngsters joined forces in 2006 and released the A Dozen Dreams EP. After this, a time of intensive touring followed: in the first year 70 shows were played in the Netherlands, England, Wales, Germany, France and Belgium. Also, the band was the support act for bands like New Found Glory and Fall Out Boy. The large amount of shows rapidly resulted in a steady fanbase.
Destine have launched its own online TV-platform Destine.tv where people can follow the band’s every move. Meanwhile, the band appeared on national TV and radio, including the song Last Scene Of A Plane Crash being used for a commercial on TV station Comedy Central.
In April 2008, Destine signed a development deal with major label Sony. The debut album and single are planned to be released in 2009.

Burn
Destine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And words turn to lies
Will I see through your eyes?
And halfway our sins and sorrows turned to grey
To what we both despise
This is how it all dies
So trapped in paralyzin’
Till you wake ’n realize
You can burn all cities down but you can’t stop me
Turn my insides out and get a getaway
And I never will deny that you’re the fuel to my fire
Burn me to the ground but you won’t stop me
Right here I'm wide awake in twilight
Your shadow turns to dust
Like a thief in the night
So trapped in paralyzin’
Till you wake 'n realize it yeah
It gets you through the night
Take all that’s left cause you can..
So did we end up here tonight?
Lost ourselves with open eyes
If we cannot take this leap
We're a promise we can’t keep
We will never make it out alive
The song "Burn" by Destine is a reflection of a relationship that has turned sour, yet one person still holds on to the hope that they can make it work. The lyrics begin with the singer recognizing that someday it may be too late to salvage the relationship as the truth turns to lies and they both despise what they have become. The line "Will I see through your eyes?" suggests a longing to understand the other person's perspective and to find common ground. However, frustration sets in as they feel trapped and paralyzed by the situation, yet still holding on to the hope that things can get better.
The chorus provides a sense of resilience and determination, where the singer declares that they cannot be stopped even if everything around them falls apart. They will not deny that the other person has been the fuel to their fire and even if they are burned to the ground, they will not be stopped. The bridge then reflects on the gravity of the situation and asks whether they have ended up there that night, lost with open eyes. The line "We're a promise we can't keep" acknowledges that their relationship may not be sustainable and that they may never make it out alive.
Overall, "Burn" is an emotive expression of love and the desperation that comes with trying to hold on to something that may no longer be there. The lyrics are powerful in that they capture the sense of helplessness that can come with a struggling relationship, yet the chorus provides a sense of determination and strength in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
Someday when daylight turns its back on me
At some point in the future, when I'm feeling lost and alone
And words turn to lies
And the people around me start to deceive me with their words
Will I see through your eyes?
Can I trust you to show me the truth and help me see clearly?
And halfway our sins and sorrows turned to grey
We've made mistakes and been through tough times, but now those things are starting to fade
To what we both despise
We hate where we are but can't seem to change it
This is how it all dies
This is the moment where everything falls apart and there's no going back
So trapped in paralyzin’
Feeling stuck and unable to move forward
Till you wake ’n realize
Until you have an epiphany and realize what needs to be done
It gets you through the night
You can numb yourself to the pain and make it through the night
You can burn all cities down but you can’t stop me
You can try to destroy everything around me, but I won't let you break me
Turn my insides out and get a getaway
You can try to make me vulnerable and expose all of my weaknesses, but I won't let you escape the consequences of your actions
And I never will deny that you’re the fuel to my fire
I won't deny that you have contributed to my passion and drive, but that doesn't mean you control me
Burn me to the ground but you won’t stop me
You can try to destroy me completely, but I won't let you win
Right here I'm wide awake in twilight
In this moment, I'm fully aware of everything happening around me
Your shadow turns to dust
Your presence no longer carries weight or meaning
Like a thief in the night
You appeared in my life without warning and caused destruction
Take all that’s left cause you can..
You can take everything that's left, but you still won't break me
So did we end up here tonight?
How did we get to this point? How did we let things get so bad?
Lost ourselves with open eyes
We knew what was happening, but we didn't do anything to stop it
If we cannot take this leap
If we can't make a change and move forward
We're a promise we can’t keep
We'll never be able to fulfill the promises we made to each other
We will never make it out alive
We're both going to be stuck in this cycle until it destroys us completely
