- How to Devour Life is a song by Eve about a character facing his shadows with his companion. At first our character killed his shadow only for it to come back and almost devour him. In this video I explore how to devour life meaning and explain them.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the Bibbide Bobbide Bou in Literacy Nonsense lol
I like both versions. What about you?
Ayo you got a birb things pfp
@@raine777. yup :p
i think here it means that "there goes everything" along with giving it a rhythmic thing, i guess.
No way, Fairy Godmother is that u?
A channel THAT ACTUALLY digs Into eve? Subbed faster than the speed of light
Welcome to the channel!
A couple things I noticed after watching this video: Both near the end
1: The lines "My voice has yet to hit and make all those thoughts go away" and "To forget that is unforgivable, as long as you dont ever stop thinking of it" Might symbolize an idea that I first learned from Markiplier, of althought it's rough now, you won't get to see what it's like when things are good, unless you keep going on.
2: After the Heart stops the monster, the video cuts to the falling scene from earlier, but this time the characters is gone. However, you can still see a shadow on the wall, possibly meaning that the protagonist found a way to go past it and left his shadow to die without him.
Very interesting ideas! These points are nice ^^
It's worth pointing out, that the so-called 'heart form' of this character, is styled after a Tenome, a type of yokai also known as an eye-hand monk.
That's a cool observation! ^^
A few people don't know this, but the boy in Literary Nonsense is named Bun and Inochi's heart form is called Noppo and his shadow is the Headless Dragon (at 4:23 you see the Janitor from Tokyo Ghetto and the light from Tokyo Ghetto at 4:22. I think that's the Tokyo Ghetto boy is in the background at 5:33 but I'm not sure if it's him or not, he has the same haircut) I just wanted to point this out for people who didn't know ´･ᴗ･`
Also at 0:04 you can see Mochi and Pattum (so if miss spelled) in the background.
in the MV you see his "corpse" in trash on 0:48
this was really helpful because I often have trouble deciphering meanings to songs with lots of symbolism, and the language barrier makes it all the more difficult. I really like knowing the meaning behind songs like these because I feel as though it allows me to have a much deeper appreciation for the art. Thank you so much!
You're welcome ♥
I loved this analysis on "How to Devour Life". It gives me a greater understanding of the song as a whole and the song's inspiration is interesting. I hope you create more videos in the future because this video essay is awesome and very well done.
Thank you very much! I love Eve's songs and I can't wait to give his songs a look!
SO THAT'S WHY THE FIRST TIME I HEAR THE SONG IT SOUNDS SO FAMILIAR
Yep! :)
Wow I finally understand the song now! Thanks that was a banger
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh! Makes sense :D
But I just have to say this
Your voice is so cute and sweet!!
Thank you! I wasn't sure about my voice. :)
I thought I was the only person who thought that way-
At 3:50, Hitotsume was also sitting around the other table. His face is the only one that doesn’t have darkness around it but his iconic eye is gone. I wonder if that means anything. Like, say; Hitotsume doesn’t care about Tobi’s suffering at all for unknown reasons so his eyes aren’t revealed to Tobi.
Good catch it could be 🤔
Hitotsume is the hat and eyeball guy, right? (I’m bad at names ;-;) If you look at his fluffy collar at 3:06 or 3:07 you can see that the area near his face is darkened like how the other characters’ face-shadows darken past their face and even onto the background (like the dude with a paper over his face and big horns at 3:05 ).
Also I really didn’t like the characters taking the place of people from The Last Supper painting ;_; That might have symbolism to it too but it seems disrespectful to me ;-;
Have a great day :D Jesus loves you!
“
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.

Just thought of this: Didn’t Tobi ask Rei for breakfast only to eat some of the yolk before leaving the rest of it? The yolk’s color also might have resembled the candy in the music video.
Ohhhh I have to back and read it again!
honestly I'd love to have a heart form. Its like a nice pet that understands me
XD you should design one it's fun.
I've just discovered this channel, but I have to say: thank you for this.
You’re welcome!
After watching Fight Song, this video hits different.
honestly this video has made me realize a lot of things about myself-- i feel so bad for tobi as well
Aw
Yeah Tobi ;V;
This is like watching a critical analysis of a poem or a story but instead here it is a manga and a MV. XD
Precisely ^^
@@EveExplained this emoji is better ^_^ or maybe this ^______^
I know people use it for arrows but I don't feel I fit with the underscore it's kinda like a persona thing
@@EveExplained hhm u replies in a 3 years old video + u are alive good job human also but underscores ARE COOLER (not the fan one) ^_^
@@EveExplained Wow, what a reunion from 3 years ago. I hope you guys are doing ok. Which countries are you guys from?
great video! thanks for helping me understand the lyrics as well as the music video.❤
A pleasure to help. Is devour life your favourite song?
@@EveExplained It's definitely my favourite Eve's song!
I only grasped a small meaning of this song, And came here after watching your video on fight song as i thought that Ryuuko and Tobi were a very cute team, I still prefer How to devour life over Fight Song because i was introduced to it 2 years ago, But i do thank you a lot for this video!
You're welcome!
Not entirely sure, but I think he just realized that his bag was his heart form in the beginning, as he seemed to be surprised when he saw it eat the shadow (cat) in the beginning.
Oh yeah he turns his head. I think he knew before the song started in his little flashback
I noticed that in some scenes, tobi's blood is orange like the zingai, so it could be related to the fact that in some scenes in the manga he seems to 'combine with' baku, and he may be becoming a zingai himself
I really like how your videos examine and explain the meaning of songs and animations!

@@EveExplained Wait do you reply to all new comments, even though your channel’s big?! :O If so, that’s really awesome o7
I do reply ^^
It's manageable at the moment~
thank you so much for explanation, now I understand what about this song
You're welcome ^^
i’m not crying you are 🥺
I thought it was just about schizophrenia or something because I have schizophrenia and it just reminded me of my struggles with it and it's my favorite song to listen to. Didn't know there was a manga it was inspired by
Schizophrenia sounds difficult to live with. I hope it's fine now.
Yeah there's a manga with this song. I looped this song for a while when it came out. So good.
@@EveExplained yeah schizophrenia is one of the things that's made living just a pain. Lost alot of friends to it and including someone I dated that couldn't handle how cold I was after getting on a medication and hearing 2 voices (I know have 6 voices) so we had to end that. Lost 5 friends because people didn't know how to be friends with me and now I'm on the right medication so I guess things are looking better? I'm dating a schizophrenic like me atm so I've been happier lately
That's a lot to go through.
Seems like the medication is better and things are going well. I'm happy for your relationship!
The shadow rolling down the stairs at 2:06 RIP 🤣
2:30 another RIP
XD
I really like this channel, even though I just discovered it today I’ll be around for the long haul
Thank you for the support! I hope to make enjoyable videos. ^^
Your perception is pretty sharp. Awesome video
Thank you ^^ I enjoyed looking through
FINALLY I CAN READ THE MANGA
Y E S
0:59 when it says "you still wouldn't appear at all" is maybe another reference of him not being able to find Hitotsume or the shadows telling him
Oh yeah
Heck yeah! I'm glad I found you, this is absolutely awesome!
Glad you enjoyed!
Aight Imma make your subs into 300
Very good explanation, not disappointed! I'm glad I found another person who likes Eve :D
Welcome! XD
I try my best glad you enjoyed the content. Eve has great music.
I saw the title of this video, clicked, subscribed and turned on all notifications. My expectations have never been so high.
Edit: You have exceeded my expectations. My satisfaction is immeasurable and my day is saved.
I'm glad your here. Hope you enjoy your stay.
Who wants this to be an Anime
anime would be neat.
I swear at this point i'll be wanting to adopt all the characters i already want to adopt rei and yukito from the manga lol, dang maternal instincts i don't even have kids wtf lol.
Adopt all of them! ^^
@@EveExplained xD
In the table part isn’t that shadow guy from literally nonsense in the table??
Yep!
I love this video so much,thanks for making it
Welcome ^^
So the guy eats his heart by not embracing it but in the end heart still devours him is what I got.
i just liked the song >.
Great videos! Its funny how no one else has done this before. 👍
Ah yes. I was looking for videos and no one did them. So I thought why don’t I do it? I love interpreting art.
And now we have litterally more lore about the animation, yay
^^
I thought half of it had to do with a tobacco addiction because all the monsters chasing and following him (his heart form and the dragon) kind of resemble a cigarette
That’s an interesting perspective! I can see the resemblance.
I kinda relate to this song which is why i love and relate to it so much
It's a nice song ^^
I like this theory
Thank you!
Ooo a video theory about How To Devore Lifeeee!!! Yes I love that song, let's see let's see...
_Ten minutes later get's too into reading the manga_
This video is old you should see my newer ones
@@EveExplained AH, thank you :D
This is some heavy shit, however even before i saw this video i could get little glimpses of What it meant.
you're video has helped explain the Song and the visual character in general, it has led me to Like Tobi otogiri/inochi Even more.
and i have a deeper emotional feeling towards the video.
good explanation.
Thanks!
Dude thank you.
I wanted to know this
Glad you enjoyed it ^^
Bro fr explained all his inner feelings and thoughts but forgot to mention his name. So the dude is Tobi Otogiri and we call him Inochi becuz it sounds better why not? Anyways Inochi means life and Tobi means fly so yeah.
Check the date of the video before making assumptions. His name was not released and his placeholder name at the time was inochi.
thank you for your contribution
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tbh I think the dragon is tobi's heart form
Oh why so?
understand the 100% of your videos is my goal to learn english
what eve's manga called?
Kara no kioku
thank you for making this! but I have a question, where can I read the manga?
It is on mangadex but apparently there is a problem currently with the site. A reddit user mentioned reading it on manganelo.
You can find the latest chapter, chapter 10, on my community posts tab.
Have fun reading! chapter 10 has a lot of good stuff. ^^
@@EveExplained thank you! haven't started it yet but I think I'll love it❤️
Since i cant speak japanese, i didnt know this is real deep.
Glad you enjoyed it!
2:42 RIP
You caught the RIP! XD
Also near the end of the video you said something about your gallery, do you do art?
@@linus1814 Yes I do art. I've changed the channel since to an eve-lore channel.
It could actually mean he was taken over by his darkness
This was so helpful I have no words! Just...
THANK YOU
Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully will find more of the story ^^
It’s confirmed inochi no tabekata is an opening
Great video! ✌️
Thank you!
i have a question which is the heart form? the backpack or the monster eating the orange orbs?
the backpack and the monster are the same character (it has two forms) so both forms are heart form.
I'm just gonna leave a comment for the algothrim, orange and black are cool
XD they are very cool~
I’m Japanese
I love it 🥰🥰🥰🥰
First comment from a Japanese person. I enjoyed it too. 🥰
5:34 I used to think that the guy in the background is the smoking guy from Tokyo ghetto? What do you think?
And also great content so much effort into it! Please keep doing this
I don't have the video open but I assume it's the smoking scene then yeah thats tg boy.
Thanks!
@@EveExplained :D
eve lore
Lores you in
can you link the manga i used to read it but i don't remember where it is
On my channel banner or about page
This song has gave people the beat and has turned into a meme if you don’t know YERAGEN AKIRIMIYaMATA SheMASHITE
Instead of him overcoming his darkness
the title on youtube now is how to eat life so yeah
Question:
Is there any way to get the english version of Eve's manga?
Description or my channel banner/about
@@EveExplained thank you so much! 💜
Where can you read the manga? I can’t find it
Here you go: mangadex.org/title/dbd208cd-31fd-4c68-a377-d2bfec53ea8b
Do last dance
I’ll look into it!
@@EveExplained thanks
deep af
I thought the heart form was evil at first
Same. I did look that way.
It's been a long time i usted to talk as someone named glitch trap 2020 the virus anda ITs Been so long
Tbh, this would be really good theory, like the dragon being apart of Tobi, but sadly fight song kinda contradicts this.. that or it’s something new idk the explications of fight song.
The light novel will most likely clear that up.
@@EveExplained ah, so theirs an LN.. that would make so much more sense.
Could you analyse raison d'etre from eve pls
I have a few requests but I will add it to the list as the next one to do!
👍👊
❤️
@@EveExplained 👊🙂
Hey, you are amazing 🤩
Thanks elnu ^^
There's definitely some things I missed. If you got your own theory please comment below!
You literally only need one word to explain Eve's songs, "Anxiety"
I think that tobi is just using his mole ability at around 2:46.A mouth appears on his face, and his hand resembles dragons, just like when he activates his mole ability in the manga.
i thought the heart form was bad just annoying him like with the elevator thing
There are different types of zingais. There’s shadow that harm like Tokyo ghetto, there’s heart/ego zingais. They are mixed based on the person it came from. Dragon most likely shadow that wants to eat him.
@@EveExplained ah
I should've found this channel sooner.
XD welcome!
@@EveExplained O.o
Can't help but wonder when you're going to cover Kaikai Kitan
There’s not much Eve lore in that song. A few parts overlap so if I try to do one it would short and most likely a comparison between Eve’s universe and the manga/anime kitan
I only want to know if there is a relationship with tokyo ghetto, I saw some references that leave me wondering.
Well the protagonist in Tokyo ghetto is the brother of how to eat life protagonist
@@EveExplained Wait, are you serious? How is that possible? How do you know that? 0-0
It's part of the story in Eve's novel how to eat life. I touched on it a bit with other resources on my most recent video about fight song.
@@EveExplained Oh!! Where did you read it or where can I find it? Can you tell me please? 0v0

Here you go ^^
Scroll down to find the translations to the novel
i read kara no kioku and that thing never took his ciggarete and that dude isnt the main character
chapter 4 page 17 noppo takes his cigar.
one of the main characters.
hope this helps.
Is this a manga or what? I really wanna know whether it is an anime or manga...some pls telk me the title..
Link on my banner or about page. Kara no kioku manga only
umm, dude,, i hope you reply this,,are your exlaination is all maybe correct or accurate? cause i dig into it too, but i have a different explanation,,for an example, dramaturgy,, i think it about a actor, who want to be a director,, or a human who want to be a god....otherwise, your explanation is super details, that make me happy and sad in thesame time,,yeah,,what do you think?
Most of the MVs are really up to interpretation for the moment and what material can be found on the MVs can help direct the interpretations better. My ideas are just ideas, they aren't meant to be factual (other than the resources used). Just some fun discussing the MVs. ^^
Those ideas for dramaturgy are valid, I can guess what bits of Dramaturgy you might be referring to.
Who Kurukuru is and what he wants might be explained in the manga but otherwise it's open to ideas.
@@EveExplained ah,, thanks,, nice,,
@@EveExplained ah yes and other thing,, im suscribing to you, and yeah it is fun for discussing eve MV's,,maybe i could get in the discussion next time?
@@dragonkeith6186 Hope you enjoy the channel. ^^
There's actually a discord channel for eve discussions that you can join: discord.gg/bnq4BaGd
if you don't want discord, the comment section under my videos/socials are always open.
@@EveExplained ight,,thanks,,
Wait so at the end when when he was running to his heart from about to be eaten, did he die or not?
Love ur voice btw-
No he didn't die.
Thank you~
Ohh ok thanks
Music video and track?
how to devour like is the music video.
track as in album? I'm not sure
Is the heart form considered zingai?
Yes
Can u make a video on how to understand the whole eve's world building, for example the chronological order of the amv ? I'm new and I really like eve and your explanation but still a little bit confused. ❤
I recommend my videos on the main songs litrary nonsense, outsider, last dance. My video on dramaturgy was more a lyrical interpretation but has some key concepts. And the last video I recommend is as you like as this add to the concept of dramaturgy.
@@EveExplained Thanks and all the best
Can you please say Noppo instead of heart form please. I'm not trying to be rude
This was done months ago lol I’m part of the Eve community and know a lot more. Which is also why I commented ‘I know I’m missing things so please comment below’
Chales no se Inglés
¿sabes español?
@@EveExplained Es mi idioma hahaha
Maraca solo me falta saber Inglés para entenderle a ese video
Apologies for the lack of subtitles on this one. Hopefully I can get round to add some.
This is a manga? If yes, what is the name of this set?
Kara no kioku on mangadex. It recently started so only a few chapters.
@@EveExplained oh thank you very much^^. That is really important information.
Have fun!
You too!
oh! theory guy made a youtube chennel. look like i have something to promote
Thank you for visiting. ^^
still don't get it :D
That’s alright. Here’s some basics. Main character (boy) is Tobi Otogiri. Creatures are called zingai and they come from human emotions. There are different types. Bad emotions create shadow zingai so like the dragon. Mixed emotions create heart form zingai. These zingai don’t harm. Most likely the bag/tall guy following the boy.
So far in the manga all we know is that tobi is looking for hitotsume. A zingai with a top hat and one eye.
The rest of the music is references to other Eve songs and interpretation of the music video.
what is the name of the manga ??
Kara No Kioku on mangadex. Have fun!
He just ignored the mc of EVE's other songs is on the MV.
I plan to revisit once I finish reviewing the other MCs to write a bigger review
manga name?
Kara no kioku
Is seki Dead
Most likely
@@EveExplained not gonna lie that would be corny
name of the manga pls and btw thank you for explaining eve mvs songs are great and the im really curious whats behind the mvs or songs
Kara no Kioku on Mangadex
@@EveExplained thanks
