Hearse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave me - Shivers down my spine
Like a thousand years of rage...
Lurking - Somewhere beneath
(Chorus)
This time I will be gone
And you will be surprised
Now feel the anger burning higher
Reborn through hate
Look out! - Bullets sweep...
My head - On a silver plate
You call me a non-believer...
Well - You better think again
The lyrics of the song 'Determination' by Hearse express a feeling of anger and betrayal towards someone. The opening lines, "What I saw in your eyes... Gave me shivers down my spine," describe the intense emotions the singer feels when looking at the person they're addressing. They go on to specify that the emotions are negative; "Like a thousand years of rage... Lurking somewhere beneath." The singer is carrying a lot of anger and frustration towards this person, and it's evident through the words they choose.
The chorus is where the singer makes it clear that they're leaving the situation, saying, "This time I will be gone, and you will be surprised." Whether the person they're addressing was expecting it or not, the singer has made up their mind to leave. The second verse is where the lyrics take a darker turn, with the singer talking about the anger burning higher within them, fueled by hate. The line, "Look out! - Bullets sweep... My head - On a silver plate" implies that the singer feels as though they're in mortal danger and that they're ready to stand their ground and fight back.
The final line of the song, "You call me a non-believer... Well - You better think again," is a warning to the person the singer is addressing. The implication is that the singer won't sit idly by and let this person potentially harm them any further. The lyrics of 'Determination' are heavy and intense, with the aggressiveness of the singer's emotions coming through in every line.
