Eveline Lyrics

Just as a side note, I think the lyric actually is: "She can't hear it Just a step away from happiness And sanity blurs"

(not guilt, I mean)

harlequinforest, there is definitely nothing in this song about her killing her parents.

She's torn between her lover calling her to go away with him, but she also doesn't want to leave her father. Her mother told her, "Take care of your father," before she died and it kills Eveline to have to chose between the two.

Her love for her parents and obligation to take care of her father proves stronger. She stays.

I love the harmonies in this song. They're kind of unconventional, but always end up coming together at the end.
