Post your lyric interpretation!

When I first listened to NW, I didn't bother with their personal lives/drama/etc and would just listen to the lyrics... they give you some interesting interpretations when you don't know the people behind the music.

I used to think Eva was about... now hear me out... a (female) fight dog.  No idea why, but for the longest time I thought 'Eva' was a pooch's name, you know?  I never heard it before in my life before this song.

"Mocked by man to depths of shame"
-This made me think it was an animal, I thought 'man' referred to us as a species.


"Little girl with life ahead

For a memory of one kind word

She would stay among the beasts"
-Kinda like WE, 'man', are the beasts, and she'd stay if her master/captor would be just even a little kinder

"We kill with her own loving heart"
-REALLY made me think it was about a pet being forced to fight against her will.  To this day I can't see this phrase as anything else.

"Eva flies away

Dreams the world far away"
-Doggie escaped the house

"In this cruel children's game

There's no friend to call her name"
-Cruel children's game = fighting dogs or any animals

Am I crazy or can it totally be about that if you wanted?
What are your interpretations of NW songs?
