Unchained Melody
Eternal Longing: Unveiling the Soulful Meaning Behind Boyce Avenue's Unchained Melody
Lyrics
Oh, my love
Expressing affection and endearment towards the beloved.
My darling
Reiterating affection and endearment, emphasizing a strong emotional connection.
I've hungered for your touch
Longing for the physical contact of the loved one.
A long, lonely time
Conveying a sense of enduring solitude and yearning.
And time goes by so slowly
Highlighting the subjective experience of time feeling slow in the absence of the loved one.
And time can do so much
Reflecting on the profound impact time can have on emotions and relationships.
Are you still mine?
Pose a question about the continued commitment of the loved one.
I need your love
Expressing a deep need for the love of the significant other.
I need your love
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the intense desire for love.
God speed your love to me
Invoking a higher power to facilitate the arrival of the loved one's love.
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
Metaphorically describing the journey of emotions (lonely rivers) toward a vast and profound source (the sea).
To the open arms of the sea
Describing the destination as the open and welcoming embrace of the sea.
Yes, lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me
Lonely rivers express a plea for patience as they seek reunion ("Wait for me").
I'll be coming home, wait for me"
Promising a return home and requesting patience from the beloved ("wait for me").
Oh, my love
Reiteration of affection and endearment.
My darling
Expressing a prolonged yearning for physical closeness.
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
Repeating the longing for the touch of the loved one.
A long, lonely time
Restating the enduring nature of loneliness and yearning.
And time goes by so slowly
Reiterating the perception of time passing slowly in the absence of the loved one.
And time can do so much
Emphasizing the significant impact of time on emotions and relationships.
Are you still mine?
Pose a question about the continued commitment of the loved one, mirroring earlier lines.
I need your love
Reiterating the intense need for the love of the significant other.
I, I need your love
Repetition for emphasis, underscoring the profound desire for love.
God speed your love to me, oh
Invoking a higher power again, seeking divine assistance in the arrival of the loved one's love.
To me
Reiteration of the plea for divine intervention in receiving the beloved's love.
