'We Are The Ones' inspires listeners to wake up from apathy and become a generation of revolutionaries. The song is colored with cutting lead guitar lines (hinting a U2 and Coldplay influence) and a powerful, melodic chorus to create a repeating anthem throughout the song.
Strong melodies and catchy choruses have brought New Heights a lot of attention from various industry representatives even before the release of their new EP. It was not far from their minds while they were recording “Worlds” this year. "We wanted to show growth melodically and lyrically on this CD compared to our first one, so we spent a lot of time working and crafting the melodies and allowed them to really mature" said frontman, Travis Graham.
'Worlds' is a strong representation of the direction the band is heading towards musically. Since the summer of 05', the band has put out one demo CD along with one self-titled EP.
New Heights’ first self-titled EP, was released back in January of 2007 and was released digitally worldwide through iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody, etc. Despite the changes that have brought New Heights from an Acoustic-Rock band with six members to now an Alternative-Rock quartet, their message of truth remains close to their heart. Their sound has been compared to bands such as Lifehouse, One Republic, and Switchfoot.
Dear
New Heights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now the world is ours
We found a hole near
The lighting through the dark
The lighting through the dark
So long to the endless nights
To the endless fights
Searching far and wide
For love has comes to me
Like a certain dream
Unexpectedly I hold you tight
Cause you came into my life dear
Now the world is ours
We found a hole near
The lighting through the dark
The lighting through the dark
I'll carry you through the days
That you can't explain
Take my out stretched hands
I'll show you love
Your fears have been so strong
They will soon be gone
Keep your eyes on me
I'll be right here
Cannot believe that it took time
To very long
To capture my heart like I want it for so long
I can't go on
With you
With you
With you
With you
Yeah you came into my life dear
Now the world is ours
We found a hole near
The lighting through the dark
The lighting through the dark
The lighting through the dark
The lyrics of "Dear" by New Heights is a heartfelt expression of love and gratitude towards someone who has brought light into the singer's life. The song starts by acknowledging the arrival of someone into the singer's life who has made everything better, who has both eased the darkness that loomed over everything and given hope to see the world in a different light. The line "We found a hole near" seems to indicate that they were able to find each other in a world that can sometimes be indifferent and unforgiving. The song's tone remains optimistic and grateful throughout, and the chorus reinforces this with the repetition of the line "The lighting through the dark."
The verses explore the theme of finding happiness in someone else and how love can be an unexpected but profound experience. The line "For love has come to me like a certain dream" suggests that the singer never expected to find love, but now that it's here, they're embracing it fully. The words "I'll carry you through the days that you can't explain" show the relationship to be a mutually supportive one, with the singer willing to be the support and guide their partner through the difficult times. The song's optimistic outlook is reinforced in the final verse, which promises that despite the darkness that has come before, there is now a brighter path ahead, and together the couple will navigate it.

This is a very beautiful song, and I'm very glad there are still people that write songs like these. Unlike all of the meaningless songs, most teenagers are into during this generation, this song is so meaningful and it has a good rhythm and lyrics. In my opinion, that's what I think is needed for a good song.
