“A Clear Perception” showcases one of the hottest new bands to come out of the UK in a long time. Not wanting to follow the herd, The Eyes Of A Traitor like to take influence from a variety of bands and experiences meaning they are not your run–of-the-mill-generic-paint-by-numbers hardcore band. The albums heavy sound-scapes, melodic sensibilities and technical structure showcase a musical talent far beyond their years (the band are all under 21). A hard working attitude has helped them gain 5 independent tours covering UK and Europe, whilst building on their ever-growing fan base.
The follow up to "A Clear Perception" named "Breathless" was released on the 12th July 2010, with track names including 'Come To My Senses' and 'Talk of The Town'
A new ep entitled "Disease" is available on their tour with Martyr Defiled, Heart in Hand and Carcer City. It is more a follow up to "Breathless" than to their debut album, as they continue to evolve, and improve on their newer sound.

The Birth
The eyes of a traitor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one to burden me
This life is all I ever dreamed of
This life is all I ever dreamed of
Forever young
Forever young (forever young)
This feeling I get every time I wake
It opens my eyes
Was it all for nothing
Was it all a waste
Was it all for nothing
Did we throw our lives away (away)
Injustices (in everything)
Everyday nowhere to turn but down
We're all thinking the same (the same)
We're all thinking the same (same)
Injustices
Everyday we're all thinking the same
But we are far from ever being the same
Equal, fair, human
What the fuck do they mean
Anymore
Anymore
I'm open
To all the lives I've seen die
Is that wishful thinking
Or pure regret
We hope to live but live to fucking die
Standing on this earth
No one to burden me
Forever young
Forever young
This life is all I ever dreamed of (dreamed of)
This life is all I ever dreamed of (dreamed of)
Was it all for nothing
Was it all a waste
Was it all for nothing
Did we throw our lives away (away)
Injustices (in everything)
Everyday nowhere to turn but down
We're all thinking the same (the same)
We're all thinking the same (same)
Injustices
Everyday we're all thinking the same
The Eyes of a Traitor's song "The Birth" speaks about the complexities and contradictions of living a human life. The first verse speaks about being alone, unburdened and happy in one's own life, but this happiness is soon questioned. The second verse questions the worth of one's life, whether it was all for nothing and whether the injustices in life make it all a waste. The chorus repeats the phrase "We're all thinking the same" which may suggest that despite our different circumstances in life, we all question the same thing - the meaning of our existence.
The third verse further delves into the limitations of the human experience, questioning the concepts of equality, fairness, and what it means to be human. The last two lines, "We hope to live but live to fucking die" may suggest a sense of despair and hopelessness, where life ultimately feels meaningless. However, the song ends with a repetition of the first verse, where one finds solace in the idea of being forever young and happy in one's own life, despite the uncertainties and contradictions of living.
Overall, "The Birth" by The Eyes of a Traitor encapsulates the human experience of questioning the meaning of one's own existence, the value of one's life, and coming to terms with the limitations of the human experience.
