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.

Wait for Me
Determination Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never tell me dreams come true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Ever tell me he will care
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
They're writing songs of love but not for me
A lucky star's above but not for me
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play could guarantee
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me
I was a fool to fall and get that way
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
The lyrics to Determination's song Wait For Me are a representation of heartbreak and the difficulties one goes through in trying to move on from a love that wasn't meant to be. The first stanza of the song is a direct address to Old Man Sunshine and Beatrice Fairfax, who are both symbols of positivity and hope. However, the singer asserts that they do not believe in these things and cannot be fooled by them. They do not want to hear from anyone who believes in fate, love or destiny, as they see these as empty promises. The second stanza is a reflection on this sentiment, as the singer highlights their own experience of love not being for them. They have found more struggles and pain than joy in their romantic life, and they feel like a fool for having fallen for someone who was not meant to be theirs.
The lyrics are a poignant representation of the idea that sometimes love is just not meant to be, no matter how much we want it to. They speak to the complex emotions and confusion that often come with heartbreak, and they are sure to resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of a broken heart. Through his lyrics, the songwriter encourages listeners to hold onto hope and perseverance, even in the face of adversity and disappointment.
Line by Line Meaning
Old man sunshine listen you
I don't want to hear the positivity that the sun brings
Never tell me dreams come true
I don't believe in the possibility of dreams coming true
Just try it and I'll start a riot
I'll be angry if you try to prove me wrong
Beatrice Fairfax don't you dare
Don't try to convince me otherwise, Beatrice Fairfax
Ever tell me he will care
I don't believe anyone will ever care for me
I'm certain it's the final curtain
I'm convinced that this is the end for me
I never want to hear from any cheerful Pollyannas
I refuse to listen to anyone who thinks positively
Who tell you fate supplies a mate
I don't believe in fate bringing me a partner
It's all bananas
It's all nonsense and irrelevant to me
They're writing songs of love but not for me
Love songs don't apply to me
A lucky star's above but not for me
I don't believe in luck or good fortune being on my side
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Despite searching for love, I've only found disappointment and despair
Than any Russian play could guarantee
My reality is worse than any tragic story in a Russian play
I was a fool to fall and get that way
I acknowledge my foolishness for falling in love
Hi-ho, alas, and also lack-a-day
Expressing a feeling of sadness and regret
Although I can't dismiss the memory of his kiss
I can't forget the memory of his kiss, though I know he's not for me

Royalty - Egzod & Maestro Chives and FT. NEONI
Say I'm cold- hearted
But I'm just getting started
Got my eyes on the target
Now, now
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Till the battles won
Till Kingdom come
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I'll never run
Best to give me your loyalty
Cause I'm taking the world you see
They'll be calling me, calling me
They'll be calling me Royalty
Best to give me your loyalty
Cause I'm talking the world you see They'll be calling me, calling me Royalty
They'll be calling me Royalty
They say I'm dangerous cause I broke all the cages
No I won't sit and take it
Now, now
They left me for dead, I guess They'll never learn
Everytime I break there's more pain to burn
They'll never, never, never learn
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Till the battles won
Till kingdom come
Ohh, ohh, ohh
I'll never run
Best give me your loyalty
Cause I'm taking the world you see
They'll be calling me, calling me, They'll be calling me Royalty
Best to give your loyalty
Cause I'm taking the world you see They'll be calling me, calling me , They'll be calling me Royalty
They'll be calling me Royalty
They'll be calling me Royalty

Summer in the hills
Those hazy days i do remenber
We were running still
Had the whole world at out feet
Watching seasons change
Our roads were lined with adventure
Moutains in the way
Couldn't keep us from the sea
Here we stand, open arms
This is home where we are
Ever strong in the world that we made
I still hear you in the breeze
See your shadows in the trees
Holding on memories never change
