Eternal Devotion in 'Apple Of My Eye (new Version)' by Dolores O'Riordan
Dolores O'Riordan's 'Apple Of My Eye (new Version)' is a poignant ballad that delves into themes of love, longing, and unwavering devotion. The song's lyrics paint a picture of someone who is deeply in love, willing to wait indefinitely for their beloved. The phrase 'apple of my eye' is a classic metaphor that signifies someone who is cherished above all others, highlighting the depth of the singer's affection.
The repetition of the lines 'As the days go by' and 'I'll always wait for you' underscores the passage of time and the constancy of the singer's feelings. Despite the changing days and the arrival of new dawns, the singer's commitment remains steadfast. This sense of enduring love is further emphasized by the imagery of darkness moving away with the dawn, suggesting that the presence of the beloved brings light and hope into the singer's life.
The lyrics also touch on the pain of separation and the longing for physical and emotional connection. Phrases like 'the room is turning cold' and 'the candles flicker still' evoke a sense of loneliness and the passage of time in the absence of the loved one. The repeated calls to 'remember' and 'surrender' the face and touch of the beloved highlight the importance of memory and the desire to hold onto the essence of the loved one, even when they are not physically present. This song beautifully captures the bittersweet nature of love, where joy and sorrow are intertwined, and the heart remains devoted despite the challenges of time and distance.
