As the album's closing track, it encapsulates the challenge of navigating personal struggles while searching for meaning in a chaotic world.

LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION (translations by @translatingTXT)

I’m so shocked hahahahaha

Spring’s here but warmth is nowhere to be found

Outside the window, sharp needles grow

White breath like icy

Gone without a trace, the pulsing starlight

Stuck in my heart, a growing hole

That small island shrouded in a veil

SELF REFERENCE: Magic Island

Inside a consumed soul

I’m hollowed out once again

The voices calling me

I’m in chaos now

Drawn by the name, I stand in chaos

Really lost my mind

Really, really, really lost it

Faint voices

I don’t know why

What is my fate? What’s the answer, really?

Really lost my mind

Really, really, really lost it

Haha

My lips frozen shut

Words linger on my tongue

Even if I call out that name

I see only cold breath

Fate or something

Hidden in that unfamiliar name

I can't grasp the meanings

They freeze up white

Crossing the frozen lake, following the path

At the end, the sign stops

Only freezing wind greets me

A sad flower in the lightless ice

A shipwrecked fate

Frozen time

Inside it, I'm dying

The voices calling me

I’m in chaos now

Drawn by the name, I stand in chaos

Really lost my mind

Really, really, really lost it

Faint voices

I don’t know why

What is my fate? What’s the answer, really?

Really lost my mind

Really, really, really lost it

Haha

My lips frozen shut

Words linger on my tongue

Even if I call out that name

I see only cold breath

Fate or something

Hidden in that unfamiliar name

I can't grasp the meanings

They freeze up white

On the island of dreams, only chaos exists

Even if I run away, I sink deeper into anxiety

The frozen meaning in front of the name

Am I ready for this?

My lips frozen shut

Words linger on my tongue

Even if I call out that name

I see only cold breath

Fate or something

Hidden in that unfamiliar name

I can't grasp the meanings

They freeze up white

Good-bye

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.
