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. [Please note that this is our interpretation of the song's meaning, based on the ongoing narrative of TXT's discography and insights from the members and official press releases. It's perfectly fine to have a different interpretation—after all, that's the beauty of music ♡]
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 complexities and challenges that disrupted the boys’* dreamlike world in 'The Dream Chapters' and 'Minisode 1', 'The Chaos Chapters' depict the unraveling of this idyllic existence as they confront the harsh realities and responsibilities that threaten their dreams and relationships. Their once-peaceful lives are thrown into turmoil, leaving them feeling frozen and overwhelmed - until a transformative presence, symbolized as 'you'*, appears before them. This series marks a shift from the nostalgic and hopeful themes of earlier chapters to a deeper, more introspective exploration of both internal and external conflicts. Influenced by real-world events, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic, The Chaos Chapters reflect the broader struggles and chaos of youth.
