ABOUT/MEANING: 'Blue Spring' is a heartfelt reflection on the transformative power of TXT’s bond with their fans, MOA. The song contrasts the loneliness of winter, represented by the color blue, with the warmth and renewal of spring, symbolizing how MOA’s presence has helped TXT bloom. When introducing the song for the first time, Taehyun expressed this sentiment beautifully: "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."
The phrase 'Blue Spring' holds even deeper significance through clever wordplay in Korean. The words for blue (청/靑) and spring (춘/春) combine to form youth (청춘/靑春), reinforcing the song’s theme of growth and self-discovery. This connects to a touching moment from the 'Blue Hour' comeback show, where Taehyun became emotional after reading a MOA’s message: "If my youth is TOMORROW X TOGETHER, then my life will always be my youth." Deeply moved, he responded, "If my youth is yours, MOA, then my life will always be my youth." Since then, this exchange has become a beloved saying between TXT and MOA, symbolizing their mutual support and deep connection.
By calling MOA their 'Blue Spring,' TXT acknowledges their fans as the ones who turned their once-lonely youth into something warm, bright, and meaningful. The song ties into the broader narrative of youth, exploring the struggles of growing up, facing uncertainty, and finding strength in connection. In this journey, 'Blue Spring' serves as a reminder that even amid hardship, love and support can bring renewal and hope. Ultimately, the song is a tribute to the profound impact of meaningful relationships, showing how even the darkest moments can be transformed into sources of light, possibility, and endless growth.

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
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)
