Drawing inspiration from 'The Snow Queen,' the song mirrors the fairytale’s theme of love’s ability to heal and restore purity, offering the boys a refuge where their hearts can mend. The awakening stars symbolize the rekindling of hope, as love transforms past struggles into a journey of connection and newfound light.

LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION (translations by @translatingTXT)
Heaven
The starlight that fell asleep awakens
Heaven is not a faraway place, it’s now
This line (and basis of the song overall) represents a transformation in the boys’ understanding of love and connection. In 0X1=LOVESONG, lyrics like “I don’t belong there / There’s no place for me in heaven” express feelings of inadequacy, and “An angel who one day appeared before me / Take me to your hometown” suggests a yearning to escape to an idealized heaven. Here however, they discover that love creates a sense of belonging and sanctuary in the present moment. This shift demonstrates their growth, as they move from seeking external salvation to realizing heaven can be found in everyday connections, embodying self-worth and emotional refuge within love.
The moment we kiss
You make it, you make it, you make it feel like
Wrapped in the starlight that’s awakened, baby
I kiss you in the middle of it all, crazy
Finding the magic we promised at the start
Look what you did, look what you did to me like
Oh my god, there was no heaven, only a sad song
Since meeting you, even my heart feels warmth
Come closer, and when you hold me close
You make it, you make it, you make it feel like
Heaven
The starlight that fell asleep awakens
Heaven is not a faraway place, it’s now
The moment we kiss
You make it, you make it, you make it feel like
Heaven
From 1 to 10 you’re like an 11
As long as you’re there, every place is heaven
My angel every night
You make it, you make it, you make it feel like
Heaven always felt so far away to me
Now it feels like I’m walking on white clouds
The magic only you can cast on me, maybe
Look what you did, look what you did to me like
Oh my god, this never-ending love song
Since meeting you, I feel the warmth of the world
Hug me tight, like we promised on the first day
Reference to TXT's 'Deja Vu:' "I'll hug you tight, as promised on the first day"
You make it, you make it, you make it feel like
Heaven
It doesn’t matter where that place is
Heaven is not a faraway place, it's now
The moment we touch
You make it, you make it, you make it feel like
Heaven
From 1 to 10 you’re like an 11
As long as you’re there, every place is heaven
My angel every night
You make it, you make it, you make it feel like
Heaven
Helpful Context (Album Summary): ‘The Star Chapter: SANCTUARY’ marks a pivotal moment in the boys’* journey as they finally reach the tomorrow envisioned in 'Minisode 3: TOMORROW,' fulfilling a long-awaited promise of hope and reunion. This mini-album celebrates their reconnection with a cherished 'you'*, reaffirming vows made under starlit skies. Unlike the love that once served as a desperate salvation in 'The Chaos Chapter,' love in this new era has matured—no longer a one-sided refuge, but a balanced partnership built on mutual giving and receiving. With inspiration from Hans Christian Anderson's 'The Snow Queen,' the album explores love’s redemptive power to heal and restore innocence. The boys rediscover a place where love transforms from a fleeting dream into a sanctuary - one of courage, healing, and the purity that once defined them. Transitioning from the turbulence of 'The Name Chapter', this era shifts toward reflection and hope. What began as youthful fantasies has evolved into grounded expressions of love, offering strength and solace. Anchored in truth and reality, the boys reclaim the sincerity and wonder of their childhood selves, creating a sanctuary where they can truly thrive. [*Within TXT's discography-based narrative, the term 'boys' or 'boy' represents the TXT members while also serving as generalized protagonists to convey the broader experiences of youth. While 'you' is intentionally kept broad, allowing for various interpretations of the relationship whether it be platonic, romantic, fan-artist, or another dynamic.]
