Megalovania

The song that plays during the fight with Sans in Undertale. It's name is actually two words put together. Megalomania and vain. Megalomania refers to an obsessive desire for power or control. Vain refers to an action being overall pointless. This reflects Sans' sense of motivation during his battle, as he desperately tries to control the situation so he can change things for the better, but since he, on some level, knows of the player's ability to try again regardless of how many times they died, Sans can tell his efforts are in vain. Hence the name of the song, Megalovania.

I listen to Megalovania quite often, but not because I wanna seem cool or something. I listen to this song because it reminds me that just because situations seem unsalvageable, doesn't mean you can't try to fix things. We're gonna fail anyway, so why not try to succeed, what's there to lose?
