Glowing

The Script's song 'Glowing' delves into the themes of unwavering love and commitment, even in the face of uncertainty and adversity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner is determined to follow the other, no matter the obstacles or the unknown future. The song begins with a jarring revelation of departure, leaving the protagonist speechless and overwhelmed by the secrets and past decisions of their partner. Despite the chaos and the fear of the unknown, the protagonist's resolve to stay by their partner's side remains unshaken.

The chorus emphasizes this relentless pursuit of love, with lines like 'Never gonna stop 'til the clock stops tickin'' and 'Never lettin' go 'til my lungs stop breathing.' These powerful declarations highlight the protagonist's commitment to their partner, willing to go missing and face the unknown together. The repeated imagery of following and glowing suggests that the protagonist finds a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their partner's presence, even if they don't know where they are headed.

The song also touches on themes of escape and protection. The partner is running away from a troubled past and a 'bad man,' and the protagonist is determined to protect them and share in their journey. The lyrics 'I'll never let a bad man take you away' underscore the protective nature of the protagonist's love. The song concludes with a sense of unity and resilience, as the couple faces the future together with everything they own in a cardboard box, symbolizing their readiness to start anew despite the uncertainties ahead.
