Unchained Melody
Longing and Yearning in "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers
Lyrics
Woah, my love, my darling
Expressing deep emotions and affection towards the beloved.
I've hungered for your touch
Longing for physical contact with the loved one.
A long, lonely time
Describing a period of extended loneliness.
And time goes by so slowly
Perception that time passes very slowly during the separation.
And time can do so much
Highlighting the significant impact time can have on emotions.
Are you still mine?
Pose a question about the continuity of the romantic connection.
I need your love
Expressing a strong need for the love of the partner.
I need your love
Reiteration of the intense desire for the partner's love.
God speed your love to me
Wishing for a swift and safe delivery of love from the partner.
Lonely rivers flow
Using nature metaphorically to depict the journey of loneliness.
To the sea, to the sea
Describing the flow of emotions towards an inevitable destination.
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Imagining the open arms of the sea as a metaphor for reunion.
Lonely rivers sigh
Personifying rivers expressing a longing for companionship.
"Wait for me, wait for me"
Requesting patience and commitment from the beloved during separation.
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Promising a return home and asking for continued waiting.
Woah, my love, my darling
Repeating the expression of deep love and affection.
I've hungered, hungered for your touch
Reiterating the intense desire for physical closeness.
A long, lonely time
Recalling the prolonged period of loneliness.
And time goes by so slowly
Emphasizing the slow passage of time during separation.
And time can do so much
Reiterating the profound impact of time on emotions.
Are you still mine?
Asking a question about the continued possession of the beloved's heart.
I need your love
Expressing a strong need for the love of the partner.
I need your love
Reiteration of the intense desire for the partner's love.
God speed your love to me
Wishing for a swift and safe delivery of love from the partner.
