Fast forward to the summer of 2009 and another local band is starting to generate the same buzz that catapulted Godsmack to the top of the charts. Formed in 2003 by friends Mark Roberge and Derek Rousseau, the group experimented with their sound before finally finding their niche. Prospect Hill released their first full length album titled “Out of The Ashes” in 2006. While the record generated some good buzz, ultimately their sound wasn’t quite where they wanted it to be. As 2007 came around, so did a new lead singer. With the addition of Adam Fithian, Prospect Hill literally found the voice they had been looking for. With all the key players in place, the band began the process of putting a fresh demo together. With the release of a four track demo featuring newly penned tracks “Breakdown,” “Panacea,” “S.O.E.” and “Walk Home,” Prospect Hill took to the road with their electric live shows, touring relentlessly up and down the east coast, building a bigger and stronger fan base with each stop. As 2007 continued on, the process of recording their new album began to take shape. Touring along such big name acts as Powerman5000 and Hinder, Prospect Hill dazzled audiences with their hard hitting new sound. In May of 2008, Prospect Hill released “For the Lovers, the Haters and the Dead.” The album featured Godsmack’s own Tony Rombola on the track “S.O.E.” The radio ready “Breakdown,” which also appeared on the demo released a year earlier was re-produced by renowned producer Anthony J Resta, whose previous credits include acts such as Collective Soul, Duran Duran and Elton John. “Breakdown” became an instant favorite at live shows and even garnered enough attention to gain regular rotation on Bangor, Maine’s rock radio station, WTOS 105 FM. The band’s sound, which they have labeled “metal-odic,” is a blend of everything from metal to pop rock, which as allowed their music to resonate with a vast fan base. Prospect Hill continues to tour in support of their latest release, playing venues all over the U.S. the group was invited to perform at the 12th Annual Rock And Roll Marathon in San Diego. The event featured over 25,000 runners and spectators. Prospect Hill for the second time will be headlining the Boston Common Freedom Rally this September 19th which draws up to 20,000 people every year. Though they have only been together for a short period, Prospect Hill has been recognized nationally for their talents. In 2006, Iowa’s rock radio station Z98 FM named Prospect Hill Best New Band. In 2007, Z98 FM of Iowa nominated the group for “Best New Act,” “Best New Song” and “Best Hard Rock Song.” Also in 2007, after a nation wide search, Taco Bell recognized them as one of their “Fourth Meal” Bands. Prospect Hill Released their "Self Titled" third album in September of 2009. The Album produced by “A” list producer Jon Wyman emerged at #14 on the Billboard Charts for the North East Region. Following the release a music video was shot for the single "Roller Coaster" by Enki Studios, which stars MTV's Real World Brooklyn Scott Herman, also of Scotthermanfitness.com.

Into the Light
Prospect Hill Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Into The Light"

Your conscious of
The elements around you
Act like your limbs
Are tied behind you
No thats not what you do
You take your hands and cover your eyes

Oh how you hide so well

See yourself through this madness
What will you find
The little things always overlooked
Bring yourself into the light now
Step from behind and live out this life

This changing world evolves all around you
So sad to think your hopeless and never found
No thats not what you do
So take my hand and open your eyes for you have a story to tell

I guess this is what you wanted
This is What you needed
This is what you were born to be

So Come out
Step out into light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Into The Light" by Prospect Hill convey the message of breaking free from the shackles of fear and insecurity, and taking control of one's life. The opening lines suggest that the singer is aware of the world around them, but feels powerless to act. The lyrics "Act like your limbs are tied behind you, no that's not what you do" indicate that the singer is capable of more than they think, and this is the central theme of the song.

The chorus "Bring yourself into the light now, Step from behind and live out this life" is an exhortation to take charge, to confront and overcome one's fears, and to seize every opportunity to live life to the fullest. The lyrics "See yourself through this madness, what will you find? The little things always overlooked" suggest that there is hope to be found even in the darkest of situations, and that the little things in life are often the most important.

The bridge "I guess this is what you wanted, this is what you needed, this is what you were born to be" reinforces the idea that the singer has the power to shape their own destiny, and that they should not be afraid to embrace their true selves.
