THE CHAOS CHAPTER: FIGHT OR ESCAPE

AUGUST 17 2021 | REPACKAGED ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: LO$ER=LO♡ER

A repackage of The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE, The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE expands the original album’s emotional landscape, diving deeper into the aftermath of isolation and emotional collapse. If FREEZE captured the feeling of being stuck in a cold, unfamiliar world, FIGHT OR ESCAPE explores how the boy* chooses to respond: should he fight against the chaos, or escape into the comfort love offers? The album captures youth’s restless push and pull between resistance and surrender. It channels frustration over societal judgment, the desire to break free from expectations, and the longing for genuine connection. At the same time, it offers moments of light - flashes of hope, gratitude, and emotional grounding in relationships that endure. It offers no easy answers, instead reflecting youth’s raw urgency to survive and connect amid chaos.

*In the context of TXT’s discography, the term ‘boy’/‘boys’ are used to represent both the members themselves as well as serve as generalized protagonists embodying the universal experiences of youth.
