LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I know I love you
In this world of zero
I know you’re my 1 & only
In this endless darkness
Like oh my God, so holy
Whatever's at my fingertips
Quickly runs far away
My life before you was a mess
Couldn’t win even one round of this chess
Oh we
At the bottom of this abyss
You were the on1y shining gold
Now I can’t stop thinking 'bout you
When I’m sinking alone
An angel who one day appeared before me
Take me to your hometown
I know it’s real I can feel it
I’m full of problems, lovesick
There was no road out
I was fine to die
I’m a loser in this game
The only rule of this world
Save me
Hold my hand
Please use me like a drug
(I know I love you)
Say you love me
Say you love me
Till the end of the world
All or nothing
I want all of you
(I know I love you)
Say you love me
Say you love me
Till the end of the world
All or nothing
I give all of you
(I know I love you)
I probably won't make it
I won't go to heaven
I don’t belong there
There's no place for me in heaven
Whatever lies at my feet,
Turns pitch black
My life before you was trash
Couldn't even light a single match,
Oh we
In this place of only ice
You were the on1y shining glow
Now I can’t stop thinking 'bout you
When I’m sinking alone
An angel who one day appeared before me
Take me to your hometown
I know it’s real I can feel it
I’m full of problems, lovesick
There was no road out
I was fine to die
I’m a loser in this game
The only rule of this world
Save me
Hold my hand
Please use me like a drug
(I know I love you)
Flesh grows on my hollow soul
Cold air melts away
In this world of zero
I found a warmth called 'you'
Take all of me
Girl, I need you
I’m full of problems, lovesick
There was no road out
I was fine to die
I’m a loser in this game
The only rule of this world
Save me
Hold my hand
Please use me like a drug
(I know I love you)
Say you love me
Say you love me
Till the end of the world
All or nothing
I want all of you
(I know I love you)
Say you love me
Say you love me
Till the end of the world
All or nothing
I give all of you
(I know I love you)
Helpful Context (Album Series Summary): Following the collapse of their dreamlike world, The Chaos Chapters trace the unraveling of that once-perfect ideal. The boys confront harsh realities and new responsibilities that threaten their dreams and relationships. Their once-bright lives spiral into disorder, leaving them frozen and uncertain - until a transformative presence, symbolized as ‘you’, begins to thaw the cold. These albums mark a shift from nostalgic hope to introspection, exploring both inner turmoil and outer chaos. Influenced in part by the real-world upheaval of the COVID-19 era, the series reflects the disorientation of youth navigating a fractured, changing world.
Helpful Context (Album Summary: The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE) : The Chaos Chapter: Freeze portrays a world where the warmth of friendship and youthful dreams has been shattered by isolation and emotional coldness. As his once-stable life crumbles, the boy* feels frozen, insignificant, and numb in a reality that no longer feels familiar. Amid this emotional winter, the arrival of ‘you’*, a special someone, brings unexpected warmth. This love becomes his anchor - the only constant in a collapsing world. Clinging to that connection, he finds a reason to endure the chaos and the cold.
Helpful Context (Album Summary: The Chaos Chapter: FIGHT OR ESCAPE): A repackage of The Chaos Chapter: Freeze, The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape expands that emotional landscape, diving deeper into the aftermath of isolation and collapse. If Freeze captured the paralysis of a cold, unfamiliar world, Fight or Escape explores what comes next: will the boys* fight against the chaos, or retreat into the comfort love offers? The album captures youth’s restless tension between resistance and surrender. It channels frustration with societal judgment, the urge to break free from expectations, and the longing for genuine connection. Yet amid the turmoil, moments of light persist - flashes of hope, gratitude, and emotional grounding in relationships that endure. It offers no easy answers, only the raw urgency to survive, love, and move forward through the 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. Similarly, ‘you’ is intentionally open-ended, allowing multiple interpretations of the relationship - whether platonic, romantic, fan-artist, or otherwise - inviting listeners to connect with the story in their own way.
