Song Meaning of “Scribble” by MBLAQ
“Scribble” by MBLAQ is a song that speaks of the struggles of relationships—whether it be romantically or platonically—and the longing for meaningful conversations to get past them. The lyrics describe two people that can’t seem to stay away from each other—the singer expressing his pain that their relationship remains unspoken yet full of sorrow and regret. He wishes that it could be simple again, like it once was. He longs for them to write down all of their thoughts and feelings on paper and fill it with confessions of love. He wishes that they could write it out and seal it away in a box so they could feel free to be honest and express their love for one another without fear of judgement.
The chorus of the song encapsulates the underlying message: “I want to write down all my feelings, and fill it with lovers’ confessions/Let me make a promise that only exists in the dreams of us two/I want to find something that not even time can swallow/Then scribble it down into a bottle and make an eternal wish.” It conveys the idea that even though some relationships are difficult to navigate, if we could take our time to share our thoughts and feelings with one another and commit to understanding each other, then it could lead to a stronger relationship.
