ABOUT/MEANING: '0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You)' presents love as a powerful force capable of offering clarity and meaning in a world filled with chaos and emptiness. The boys*, overwhelmed by internal turmoil and a sense of nothingness, find purpose and warmth through the transformative presence of “you.” The title’s mathematical symbolism captures this emotional journey, with ‘0’ representing their feelings of emptiness and ‘1’ signifying “you,” the source of emotional breakthrough. Through love, the boys discover a fleeting yet profound sense of salvation, offering them hope and connection amidst the overwhelming desolation around them. The song portrays love as a lifeline, turning their emotional numbness into a meaningful, albeit brief, moment of solace in the midst of their chaotic world.

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.
