Unchained Melody
Unveiling the Longing: Clay Aiken's Unchained Melody Meaning
Lyrics
Oh, my love, my darling
Expressing deep affection and endearment towards the beloved.
I've hungered for your touch
Longing for physical contact with the loved one.
A long, lonely time
Conveying the duration of the emotional separation, emphasizing loneliness.
And time goes by so slowly
Reflecting on the perception that time passes slowly when apart from the loved one.
And time can do so much
Highlighting the significant impact time can have on emotions and relationships.
Are you still mine?
Questioning the continuity of the romantic connection.
I need your love, I need your love
Expressing a deep yearning for the love of the partner.
God speed your love to me
Wishing for a swift return of the partner's love, invoking a sense of urgency.
Lonely rivers flow
Describing the path of lonely rivers leading towards the vastness of the sea.
To the sea, to the sea
Emphasizing the direction of the rivers toward the open embrace of the sea.
To the open arms of the sea
Depicting the sea as a symbol of a welcoming destination for the lonely rivers.
Lonely rivers sigh
Describing the sighs of the lonely rivers, expressing a yearning for reunion.
"Wait for me, wait for me"
Quoting the rivers as they plead for patience, asking the beloved to wait.
I'll be coming home; wait for me
Promising a return home and urging the loved one to wait patiently.
Oh, my love, my darling
Reiteration of the deep love and yearning for the beloved.
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
Expressing a prolonged desire for physical closeness with the loved one.
A long, lonely time
Repeating the theme of enduring loneliness during the separation.
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?
Questioning the continuity of the romantic connection, echoing earlier sentiments.
I need your love, I need your love
Expressing a deep yearning for the love of the partner, echoing earlier lines.
God speed your love to me
Wishing for a swift return of the partner's love, echoing earlier sentiments.
