Unchained Melody
Eternal Longing: Unveiling the Emotions in Van Morrison's Unchained Melody
Lyrics
Oh, my love, my darling
Expressing deep affection and endearment towards the loved one.
I've hungered for your touch
Longing for physical contact with the beloved.
A long, lonely time
Referring to a prolonged period of solitude and yearning.
Time goes by so slowly
Emphasizing the slow passage of time in the absence of the loved one.
Time, so much
Reflecting on the significance of time in the context of love.
Are you still mine?
Possessiveness and a question about the continuity of love.
Oh I need your love
Expressing a strong desire for the affection and presence of the beloved.
Oh oh I need your love
Repetition for emphasis on the intense need for love.
God speed, speed your love to me
Seeking a divine intervention for the swift arrival of love.
Lonely rivers flow
Describing the flow of lonely rivers metaphorically, possibly symbolizing emotions.
To the sea, to the sea
Direction of the rivers towards the vastness of the sea.
To the open arms of the sea
Imagining the sea as a welcoming and open space for the rivers.
Lonely rivers sigh
Personifying rivers expressing a sense of longing.
Wait for me, wait for me
Requesting patience and anticipation from the beloved.
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Assuring a return and asking for waiting.
Oh, my love, my darling
Reiteration of love and yearning for touch.
I've hungered, for your touch
Repeating the intense desire for physical connection.
A long, lonely time
Re-emphasizing the prolonged period of loneliness.
Lonely time
Repetition emphasizing the lonely nature of time.
Time time goes by
Further reflection on the slow passage of time.
Too slowly
Stating that time is passing too slowly.
Too slow
Reiteration of the slow pace of time.
And time can do so much
Acknowledging the profound impact of time on emotions.
I wanna know, I wanna know
Expressing a desire for understanding and reassurance about the continuity of love.
Are you still mine?
Pose a question about the enduring nature of the relationship.
I need your love
Reiteration of the strong need for love.
I need your love
Emphasizing the continuous need for affection.
God speed your love to me
Seeking divine intervention for the swift arrival of love.
To me
Reiteration of the desire for divine assistance in the journey of love.
