Now a new look in my eyes my spirit rise
Forget the past
Present tense works and lasts
Got shit on, pissed on, spit on, stepped on
Fucked with pointed at by lesser men
New life in place of old life
Unscarred by trials
A new level
Of confidence
And power
Demanding plea for unity between us all
United stand
Death before divided fall
In mock military order
Vulgar, power, impatient
Because time is shorter
New life in place of old life
Unscarred by trials
A new level
Of confidence
And power
Thats right!
No fucking surrender
Can't lose
No fucking surrender can't lose
A new level (new level)
Of confidence (of confidence)
And power (and power)
A new level (new level)
Of confidence (of confidence)
And power (and power)
Life kills
Life kills
Life kills
Life kills
About This Song
"A New Level" is a crushing anthem of personal transformation and empowerment that captures Pantera's shift toward their signature groove metal sound. The song chronicles a journey from being victimized and disrespected to finding inner strength and confidence, with lyrics expressing defiance against those who have wronged the narrator. Musically, it showcases the band's evolution from their earlier glam metal roots into heavier territory, featuring Dimebag Darrell's distinctive guitar riffs and Phil Anselmo's aggressive vocal delivery over a punishing rhythm section. The track's themes of unity, resilience, and rising above adversity resonated strongly with metal fans, while its groove-heavy approach helped define the sound that would make Pantera one of the most influential metal bands of the 1990s. "A New Level" stands as a defining moment in both the band's career and the broader evolution of heavy metal music.
