The first full length release titled "Dreams of youth" was an album in retrospect of their youth as friends and the obstacles that they had overcome.
Newer releases such as "Intercept" 2007 and "Armageddon"(T.B.A.) is the evolution of level 2.0. With harsh dancefloor EBM influenced percussion and driving club synth-leads, level 2.0 is sure to be a club/dancefloor favorite!
Denial
Level 2.0 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through a concrete maze
Eyes ablaze
And die for a name
For heaven
In this deadly game
Tears can't quench these sands
Why fight for peace in a holy land
Admist wars fair the heroes lie
The smell of death chills the air
I look for myself but I'm nowhere
Deliver me my prayer
Eyes of Denial
The song Denial by Level 2.0 is a powerful reflection on the futility of war and the devastation it brings to both the physical environment and the human psyche. The opening lines "Cities ablaze as we race / Through a concrete maze" paint a vivid picture of a war-torn urban landscape, where destruction and chaos are the norm. The repetition of "Eyes ablaze" speaks to the intensity of the conflict, with soldiers and civilians alike fully caught up in the fight. Yet even as they fight and die "for a name / For heaven," there is a sense of the absurdity of this "deadly game." Tears cannot put out the fires of war, and the quest for peace in a "holy land" seems tragically misguided.
The middle section of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer reflects on the losses incurred in war. "Night has died and with it may I / Amidst wars fair the heroes lie" conveys a sense of hopelessness and despair, as even the bravest and most heroic individuals are swallowed up by the conflict. The haunting final lines "I look for myself but I'm nowhere / Deliver me my prayer / Eyes of Denial" encapsulate the paradox at the heart of war - the desire for self-preservation and the need to ignore the horrors one is witnessing in order to keep going.
