The Script(더 스크립트) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me thorns with my rose
I want everything
When you laugh, when you cry,
If you're sober or high,
I want everything
Give me love or hate,
Give me fire, give me rain,
I want joy with my pain
I want your fears, your hopes,
The whole kaleidoscope
With you, with you
Our colors come alive when I collide
With you, with you
Our colors come alive when I collide
With you, oh oh ooh yeah
Give me nothing, give me faith,
I want give with my take,
I want everything
Give me life, give me death,
Or your biggest regrets,
I want everything
Show me your fears, show me your scars,
I'll take whatever's left of your heart
Give me heaven, give me hell,
All the dreams you try to sell,
I want your fears, your hopes,
The while kaleidoscope
With you, with you
Our colors come alive when I collide
With you, with you
Our colors come alive when I collide
With you, oh oh ooh yeah
Without you it's shadows, the night's black pitch,
When there's a hundred thousand light bulbs but there ain't no switch
Living in darkness, fearin' the night,
Oh what a feeling when I see that light
With you, with you
Our colors come alive when I collide
With you, with you
Our colors come alive when I collide
With you, oh oh ooh yeah
The Script's Kaleidoscope is a song about how life is a mix of good and bad experiences, and the singer wants everything that comes with a relationship with someone they love. The idea of kaleidoscope is threaded throughout the song, symbolizing that every experience in life, no matter how painful, can create a beautiful pattern. The singer wants all of the colors, highs, lows, pains, and joys that their partner has to offer, knowing that with all of those experiences, their love will only become stronger. The lyrics "Give me love or hate, you can bend me 'til I break, give me fire, give me rain, I want joy with my pain," show that the singer is willing to go through pain, heartache, and tough times, but wants to go through them with their partner and come out stronger on the other side.
Moreover, the song's verse "Without you it's shadows, the night's black pitch, when there's a hundred thousand light bulbs but there ain't no switch, living in darkness, fearin' the night, oh what a feeling when I see that light," speaks to the idea that without their partner, the singer feels lost and frightened, but when they are together, everything becomes vivid and full of color. The singer wants their partner to reveal their deepest fears and scars, promising to take care of the pieces left of them.

Living in darkness, fearin' the night,
Oh what a feeling when I see that light
Without you, life feels incomplete and empty. Even though there may be many other things that could bring joy and light, without you there to share it with, it's like everything is just shadows and darkness. But when I'm with you, even the darkest moments are illuminated and full of life.

I became a fan of the Script with Hall Of Fame, but now I KNOW they're my favourite band of all time, possibly because of this one song.
