What is “Level Up” about?
"Level Up" frames the group's rise as a video game, complete with character select, power-ups, a cheat code and a final boss the members claim to eat for breakfast. Under the playful conceit sits a familiar message: every time someone tried to end their run, they respawned with a better team. Sixth on GLITCH, it follows "Sugar Rush" and swings the album back toward competition, signing off with a spoken "game complete."
Level Up lyrics
(Level up!)
(Player five has entered the game)
Select your character, press start
We're playing from the heart
Every challenge, every boss
We never take a loss
Combo moves and power-ups
We never giving up
High score loaded, lives remaining
Prism Five still gaming
XP rising, watch the meter
Nothing's gonna beat her
Ready? Fight!
Level up, level up, level up!
We just keep on rising to the top
Level up, level up, level up!
This game ain't ever gonna stop
Le-le-level up! New high score!
Level up, level up, give me more!
Level up, level up, level up!
Player five has leveled up!
Up up up up up!
Level, level up!
Up up up up up!
Level, level up!
A-B-A-B, enter the cheat code
Five players on the screen in beast mode
They tried to game over our dreams
But we respawned with better teams
Power level over nine thousand
Every stage we're out here browsin'
Final boss? We eat those for breakfast
Prism Five is the main event, yes
XP rising, watch the meter
Nothing's gonna beat her
Ready? Fight!
Level up, level up, level up!
We just keep on rising to the top
Level up, level up, level up!
This game ain't ever gonna stop
(Level up!)
...
(Achievement unlocked!)
(New skill acquired!)
Level up, level up, level up!
We just keep on rising to the top
Le-le-level up! New high score!
Player five has leveled up!
(Game complete!)
