ABOUT/MEANING: 'Dream of Mine' closes the album with a sense of movement that doesn’t depend on certainty. It sits in that space where the future is still undefined, yet still actively reached for. For TXT, it reflects a moment where continuation itself feels intentional - where moving forward isn’t automatic anymore, but something chosen, even without knowing exactly what lies ahead. The song holds both hesitation and curiosity at once, letting them exist without cancelling each other out. There’s an openness running through it: fear doesn’t disappear, but it no longer stops motion. Instead, it sits alongside excitement, shaping the decision to keep going anyway. Even when the path shifts or becomes unclear, the direction remains forward. In the end, the “next next” isn’t a destination - it’s a mindset. A willingness to keep reaching, even when the outcome is still unwritten.
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION (translations by @translatingtxt)
On a map with no roads
Chasing the unknown, a dream of mine
I wonder what’s the next next
I'm a wonderlust, I dream every day
A story with an open ending
I wonder what’s the next next
I said, I’m on my way
Shall I follow along
The dream that question mark leads me to
When fear starts to creep in,
Excitement layered on top of it
The reason I throw myself into the unknown
Eyes gleaming with curiosity
It’s always been a dream of mine
I long for the next next
I'm a wonderlust, I dream every day
Anxiously excited
I long for the next next
When fear starts to creep in,
Excitement layered on top of it
The reason I throw myself into the unknown
No I'm not afraid to love
No I'm not afraid to fall, to fall
The more it hurts, the deeper I breathe
Even if I wander, I'll trace my own path
Toward the tomorrow I once envisioned
Even if it turns out differently
I'll keep going to the next next
