Kaleidoscope Lyrics

I know that you are thinking about me now
I can feel it but I don't know how
When I'm gone you will see so clear
That I left some words unspoken here

All these words that I have said
Float around you, fill your head
All the times we laughted and cried
I never thought I'd leave you behind

I don't want you to understand
You will never hold me in your hand
I don't want you to see my face
When I fade away and leave this place

All these songs that fill my head
Dance around you when I'm dead
All the love I ever knew
Kaleidoscopes around to you

All these words that I have said
Float around you, fill your head
All the times we laughed and cried
I never thought I'd change your mind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Ditto that. What a gorgeous song.

Sounds like it's about a major past relationship, possibly the girl he lost his virginity to.

I heard full album step by step. In first song Seagull, I felt it was as if first stage of separation from mate. This song, Kaleidoscope, reminds me of my crush Paul, until the moment he left my country, I realized how much I love him. And it was the second year he left. I still think of him a lot. This song resonated to me so deeply. All the songs he shared fill my head, all the words sad float around me. His smell,his smile. Even this day, I still don't know what hold us back from getting together with each other. I miss him a lot. Glad that we are still friends, he recommended this song to me one day ago at night.
