I want to put a new light up, but can't tell which wires go to the switch and which ones I even need for the new light, let alone which ones were originally what color.

The wires have been damaged to the point where it is not safe to connect anything to them.

if you are lucky, there may be some slack in the ceiling void that you could pull through some undamaged cable.
remember to turn the power off first.
 
Ugh, was there a 500W incandescent fitting there? definitely heat damage.
