Determinação - Undertale (Pacifista)

The song "Determinação - Undertale (Pacifista)" by Papyrus da Batata is a narrative that encapsulates the pacifist route of the popular video game Undertale. The lyrics are a retelling of the game's story, where the player falls into the Underground, a realm beneath the Earth's surface inhabited by monsters. The song is structured as a series of interactions between the human protagonist and various monster characters, each offering their perspective on the unfolding events.

The opening verse with Flowey sets a deceptive tone, as the character initially appears helpful but hints at the game's underlying 'kill or be killed' theme. Toriel's verse expresses a protective nature, offering the protagonist a home and family within the ruins, while also warning of the dangers outside. Papyrus and Sans introduce a lighter, humorous element, with Papyrus aspiring to be part of the Royal Guard and Sans's laid-back attitude. Undyne's verse reflects her warrior spirit and determination to capture the human to free the monsters from the Underground.

The chorus, sung by all characters, speaks to the themes of hope and determination that are central to the pacifist route of Undertale. It emphasizes the struggle for freedom and the importance of maintaining determination in the face of adversity. The verses by Mettaton and Alphys reveal their internal conflicts and regrets, while Asgore's verse conveys a sense of tragic duty. The song concludes with Asriel Dreemurr's transformation and the collective plea for understanding and peace, highlighting the game's message of empathy and the power of choice in determining one's path.
