The speaker might be like a sunflower, and he/she absorbs the goodness from the girl. That way they can imbibe the warmth of the sun and take a sunbathe in the yellow light of our daily star (that light is necessary for the process of photosynthesis). The sunflowers' heads follow the direction of the sun, going from east to west during the whole day. :) Sunflowers are known for an amazing feature. I would like to add something to the rendering of the second verse: 'The good in her will be my sunflower field.' Maybe, it will help a little as well. I agree with your interpretations of the two blurry lines of that song. Location: Helsinki, Southern Finland Province, Finland It is also curious to me how the speaker, who was apparently one of Eva's tormentors (and probably is expressing remorse for her actions), will use Eva's kindness/innocence/purity as a basis for her (the speaker's) own happiness. I'm just curious because I have never heard that expression before, I am wondering if it is an expression elsewhere, since Nightwish is a Finnish band sunflowers may have some significance there. I figured the sunflower field had to do with happiness or paradise. Thank you for that interpretation, everything I was coming up with was pretty unrelated to the rest of the lyrics. The speaker is clearly someone who knew her before she ran away, based on the first verse when the speaker says "Kindest heart which always made me ashamed of my own." With your interpretation of "We kill with her own loving heart," it now makes sense that the speaker is revealing that she was a tormentor of Eva. Hm, that is an interesting observation that I did not make about the lines being from the speaker's perspective. The good in her will be my sunflower field. Eva sails away, Dreams the world, far away. In this cruel children's game, There's no friend to call her name. CHORUS: Eva flies away, Dreams the world, far away. Time for one more barren dream, Before her escape, edenbeam. VERSE II: Mocked by man to depths of shame, Little girl with life ahead, For a memory, one kind word, She would stay among the beasts. She walks alone, but not without her name. Kindest heart which always made Me ashamed of my own. A rose by any other name, Eva leaves her swanbrook home.
I've typed out the lyrics below so you can get the context of both. "The good in her will be my sunflower field" and "We kill with her own loving heart" are the two lines that I am really unsure about their meaning. The few questions I have are about particular lines. I mostly agree with this assessment of the lyrics, but there are a few things that don't really make sense to me. The song is about a pure and innocent child who has been treated wrongly her whole life and runs away, dreaming for a better future, according to wikipedia. Hey everyone, I am curious as to the meaning of the lyrics for the song "Eva" by Nightwish.
