LYRICS
When we're high, when we're low
You're always by my side
All my youth is filled with your warmth
In the warmth of your breath
My once-cold world
Blooms into spring at last
My blue spring
"Before we met moas, our lives weren’t exactly warm springs, it was just lonely and blue…we didn’t have a shining youth but when we met MOA, you bloomed and came to us like spring in the midst of our blues. You are our blue spring..." - Taehyun
In Korean, combining the words "blue" (청/靑) and "spring" (춘/春) creates the word "youth" (청춘/靑春), a clever wordplay that serves as the title of the song. This connection to youth is highlighted by a poignant moment from the 'Blue Hour' comeback show, where Taehyun was moved to tears by a note from a MOA that read: "If my youth is TOMORROW X TOGETHER, then my life will always be my youth." Taehyun responded, "If my youth is yours, MOA, then my life will always be my youth." By referring to MOA as their 'Blue Spring,' TXT not only acknowledges MOA as the transformative force that helped them bloom but also as the embodiment of their youth. This makes the song a heartfelt tribute to MOA and to their shared journey through youth.
No one knows about that winter
The endless anxieties and nervous heartbeat
Feeling blue, those cold blue days
I remember you, embracing me in your warmth
Implies that the 'you' the boys met during 'The Chaos Chapters' was MOA.
It's just like magic, you're the only one
Reference to their song 'Magic'
You turned my horns into a crown
Reference to their song 'CROWN'
Now all my days and nights
A spring breeze blows when you call out my name
Reference to their song 'Run Away' ["Be my eternity / Please call my name"]
When we're high, when we're low
You're always by my side
All my youth is filled with your warmth
In the warmth of your breath
My once-cold world
Blooms into spring at last
My blue spring
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Flowers, flowers
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Flowers, flowers
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Flowers, flowers
It blooms into spring at last
My blue spring
Flowers that bloomed from the blue
Our warm hours
Our promise to be together
After a long winter
This long winter likely alludes to both TXT's trainee period and the 'endless' winter of the pandemic, as explored in their song 'We Lost The Summer.'
You came to me as spring
I'll be with you every moment
You said, "we're destiny"
So I can’t imagine it without you
When we're high, when we're low
You're always by my side
All my youth is filled with your warmth
In the warmth of your breath
My once-cold world
Blooms into spring at last
My blue spring
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (No)
Flowers, flowers (No)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Flowers, flowers
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (You're the spring of my world that bloomed at last)
Flowers, flowers
It blooms into spring at last (It blooms into spring at last)
My blue spring
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Woah-oh-oh-oh)
Flowers, flowers
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Woah-oh-oh-oh)
Flowers, flowers
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (Woah-oh-oh-oh)
Flowers, flowers
It blooms into spring at last
My blue spring (My blue spring)
