'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.
The Other Side
New Heights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes I look in a million times, a million times
Your heart, it beats, to the beat of mine
We stop in time, cause the feeling is right, it's feeling right
A feeling like the weight of the world is lifted,
Nothing that we can't overcome, we'll make it
We'll make it out, out, leaving it all just to go to the other side
Everything was falling apart, it might rip
We'll make it out, way out, leaving it all just to go to the other side
This love is catching me by surprise
Reach out to find, all the feelings inside of you
The feelings you hold inside
Your heart, it beats, to the beat of mine
On top of the world, it's a love that we can't describe
We can't describe
A feeling like the weight of the world is lifted,
Nothing that we can't overcome, we'll make it
We'll make it out, out, leaving it all just to go to the other side
Held it together, tight grip
Everything was falling apart, it might rip
We found a way out, a way out, leaving it all just to go to the other side
Get your heart, we will be still knowing that it's a start
With the break of the day, we'll go on searching, for the parts that were lost
And we hold each other through the darkest days
Don't, let our fire, burn away
Cross the seas chasing down our dreams like, fireflies
We're feeling oh so high, high, high, high
The lyrics of New Heights's song "The Other Side" depict a love that, while unexpected, is incredibly strong and powerful. The singer describes their surprise at how much they have fallen for their partner, looking into their eyes countless times and feeling their hearts beat as one. The feeling is so intense that time seems to stand still, and the weight of the world is lifted off their shoulders. The couple is able to hold onto each other tightly, even as everything else falls apart around them, and together they find a way to make it to the other side.
