1) A post-hardcore band from Phoenix, Arizona, United States.
2) A soft rock band from Melbourne, Australia.
A White Lotus traditionally represents a rebirth. Just like the beautiful flower, Eyes Set To Kill has gone through a metamorphosis. After years of being forced to conceal their aspirations, the Phoenix, Arizona-based collective finally reveal their true identity on their upcoming fourth studio album appropriately entitled White Lotus.
“It’s a symbolic name,” Alexia Rodriguez states. “We have a clear mind set, we have purity and we know exactly what we want to do with our music. We know who we are and where we want to go, and so we wanted to use a white lotus to symbolize how confident and focused we are. It’s a leap for us because we have a clearer vision of what we want.”
Down to a more concentrated four-piece, Eyes Set To Kill slowly drowned out their screamo vibe and have transformed into a metal band led by Rodriguez’s piercing vocal prowess. Tie that in with stellar musicianship, mature songwriting and an adrenaline-charged resonance, and it’s clear this explosive quartet is on the verge of redefining the genre.
Those sentiments are further backed up by smash singles like “The Secrets Between,” a heavy single about withholding the truth from a significant other; “Forget,” an intense ditty about the desire to erase your memory from terrible experience with an ex-lover; and “Where I Wanna Be,” a love song with a dark edge.
It’s a new and improved style, and they’ve spent years getting to this point.
Formed in 2003 by the Rodriguez sisters, Eyes Set To Kill’s passionate music connected with fans early on and led them to becoming one of MySpace.com’s top unsigned screamo bands in 2006. The group signed with BreakSilence/Suburban Noize Records the following year and release three critically acclaimed studio efforts – 2008’s Reach, 2009’s The World Outside and 2011’s Broken Frames.
Frustrated with the label politics, and pressure to withhold their identity, Eyes Set To Kill decided to break away and become the band they were destined to be. The metal quartet independently released White Lotus through a joint venture between their own imprint Forsee Records and Maphia Entertainment.
Eyes Set To Kill aims to make a career on their terms and the versatile White Lotus is a testament to their craft. “I’ve found that the more unique people are, the more unique their tastes are gonna be,” Rodriguez says. “So I think people that are diverse and are into all types of music, they’ll like this album because it’s diverse, but a lot heavier.”
Now, it’s time for this White Lotus to bloom.

Eyes Set to Kill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have arrived
And now I am on the rise
Watch the tables
Watch the tables as they turn
This is a lesson
I know you'll never learn
I know you'll never learn
There's something running through my blood
Takes hold of me
Its taking me to heights you'll never see
Yeah I'm your wildest dream
There's something disturbing your sleep
Well now you'll see
Nothings ever what it seems to be
Now I'm all that you bleed
Make no mistake
Forget my name
You know you wish you could
I'm a nightmare
See me while you toss and turn
I am the lesson
I know you'll never learn
I know you'll never learn
Now don't recall
There's something running through my blood
Takes hold of me
Its taking me to heights you'll never see
Yeah I'm your wildest dream
There's something disturbing your sleep
Well now you'll see
Nothings ever what it seems to be
Now I'm all that you bleed
You better believe that you can see me now
I'm on the top of the highest building
And your still on the ground
At any minute this could all collapse
And I could come back down
But I'm living in the moment
I'll savor it for now
I know you'll never learn
So don't recall
There's something running through my blood
Takes hold of me
Its taking me to heights you'll never see
Yeah I'm your wildest dream
There's something disturbing your sleep
Well now you'll see
Nothings ever what it seems to be
Now I'm all that you bleed
These are the heights I know you'll never see
These are the heights
