Content
The track follows Eva, a young girl defined by her pure innocence, who has endured mistreatment. She flees her home, running away alone while dreaming of a brighter future. A 13 May 2007 diary entry from the band’s new vocalist describes "Eva" as a soft, sad, and emotional piece.
A pre-release sample included these lines: "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."
