Here's what Tuomas says about the song(from an interview): Q: Is Eva about a dead child? A: The song is about a child that might be dead soon if nothing is done about it. The end of the song is left to the interpretation of the listener. |

About innocence, about hope - as always, it seems. About a little girl abused by people around her, but still having faith in life, in her dreams, in good side of human nature. She sets on her journey to find the better side of life, to find the humanity in people probably. That's the overall meaning, it seems. I don't think Tuomas ever tried to be very specific with his lyrics, trying to tell some specific story or something. Instead he always was able to express emotions like no one else can. I mean, it's a whole life in a song. It's so full of pure beauty, innocence and hope... It's unbelievable. That's what art was always supposed to be. You don't need Tarja's strong vocals to deliver this song to people. The words are strong enough. Honestly, the more I read the lyrics AND listen to this one, the more I think this is probably one of the best Tuomas' works to date. |

| I don't think Tarja ruined everything she sung, I was talking about Once only. | |

I can imagine Tarja singing it and ruining it, Once-style. The new singer gave new life to Nightwish. The song sounds like a dawn of new era. ;) |

They've put a lyrics on the official www.nightwish.com Here: 6:30 winter morn Snow keeps falling, silent dawn A rose by any other name Eva leaves her Swanbrook home A kindest heart which always made Me ashamed of my own She walks alone but not without her name Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field Mocked by man to depths of shame Little girl with life ahead For a memory of one kind word She would stay among the beasts Time for one more daring dream Before her escape, edenbeam We kill with her own loving heart Eva flies away Dreams the world far away In this cruel children's game There's no friend to call her name Eva sails away Dreams the world far away The Good in her will be my sunflower field Makes more sense, eh? :) Best band ever. And the new singer is lovely. |
