Biography:
Determination was founded in 2004 by it's 3 original members Jon, Jonny & M'rtl. They started writing songs in the style of Grunge and played their first gig in june 2005, at a youth event called "@mos4". In the summer, fall, winter of 2005 and spring of 2006 they played more than 10 gigs and became locally known. Due to local success Determination also started playing some shows all over southern Germany. The highlights included such events like Teenstreet 2006, where they played for a crowd of 4000 people, and the Himmelfahrtsfestival 2007. Determination recorded their first self-titled demo in the winter of 2004. After the local success of the first demo they released the "Days and Nights" Live CD in 2006, which included live recordings of the most famous songs, taking the listener to a direction of some kind of Nu-Metal. After writing and arranging new material for a complete album they took their music to their home studio in order to record their latest full-length Album "Token", which was released in July 2007. With the Violet EP they made a voyage into a metalcore direction. The EP was released on their "Determination says goodbye" show on 5th June 2009, splitting up on that date due to individual personal careers.

Back Again
Determination Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bleeding...
Emptiness inside you that no one else could feel
When your blood screamed up to me
As shadows fell you recognized me
And saw I was your friend
But now you're running away from me
Pre-Chorus
You've been so far away
It's time to come back again
Chorus
Try to face me again
I'm the one that will fight for you to the end
And I'm gonna show you the way
To forsake and forget all lies
Verse Two
Can't understand why you just
Just left me here behind
After all I did for you
You know I'm the only one
Who can save your broken heart
And I'm still waiting here for you
Bridge
Your protection
I am your protection...
The lyrics of the song "Back Again" by Determination speak about the theme of friendship and determination. The first verse is a metaphorical description of the singer's friend's inner struggle and pain that no one else could feel but the singer. The bleeding represents the emotional hurt and emptiness he feels, and the shadow symbolizes the dark, uncertain time of the friend's life. However, the friend recognizes the singer as a true companion and confidant. The verse ends with the realization that the friend is running away from the singer, perhaps unable to deal with the situation or the emotions.
The pre-chorus is an appeal from the singer to his friend, asking him to come back and face the situation. The distance between them may have grown, and the friend may have isolated himself, but the singer is not willing to give up on him. He urges his friend to return and confront the issue that led to their separation.
The chorus is the most powerful part of the song, where the singer affirms his loyalty and commitment to his friend's well-being. He promises to fight for him until the end and shows him the way to forget the lies that stood between them. The chorus is an expression of hope, as if the singer believes that they can overcome the obstacle and become closer than ever before.
Overall, the lyrics of "Back Again" are about being there for each other, supporting each other through difficult times, and never giving up on the people who matter to us. The song is a reminder of the importance of friendship and how, even after a period of silence or distance, we can always find our way back to each other.

Lyrics:
Coming in unannounced
Drag our friends on the tile
I just follow your trail
You can't just follow my smile
All of your sins are aligned with this mood of mine
Cutting me to the bone
Nothing left to leave behind
You ought to reset right now
Just like it never happened
I didn't come for a fight, but I will fight till the end
And this one might be your battle, might not turn out okay
I know you think you can kill me, but you’ve already lost the game
And I LOVE the way you hurt me
It’s DETERMINATION, oh yeah
Oh yeah
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way you keep on trying
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way you keep on dying
I'm gonna break you to pieces just like you were your brother
Gonna kill you again, just like you killed your own mother
You’re a fool with no past, say goodbye to your future
Pay the fee, do it kid, I'm talking no inflation
Too many stab wounds and not enough items
Too much time in the hall, I feel my sins start to crawl
Too many freaks not enough blood in the game
You know I’d give your LOVE a four letter name
And I LOVE the way you hurt me
It’s DETERMINATION, oh yeah
Oh yeah
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way you keep on trying
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way you keep on dying
You kill me again
Again and again
But I come back knowing so much more
Learning all your tricks
I’ll make you sick, cause the truth is Sans I'll make you QUIT
Try to stay frisk, please just stay frisk
You’re still good good, admit to this
Don’t fight anymore, its such a snore
One more step, and I'll make it war
And I still LOVE the way I hurt you
It’s DETERMINATION, oh yeah
Oh yeah
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way you keep on trying
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way
I LOVE the way you keep on dying

@cocomelooonmelooo3891
Fun fact: this fandom will never freaking die off
@zbugs5967
no it will not
@mr.simplicated3658
Vouch <3
@mr.gaster1310
I wonder if Undertale could translate over into a tv show. Not a movie since it feels like the Sans fight is too good to not put in film, which would require the genocide route
@zbugs5967
@Mr. Gaster season 1 would be a pacifist run and season 2 would be returning to do genocide
@williamgregory2912
NEVER *Proceeds to sing along*
