ABOUT/MEANING: ‘Magic’ explores the transformative impact of love and connection in a world filled with emotional isolation and uncertainty. The boys, weighed down by confusion and inner turmoil, find solace in the appearance of a deep and meaningful bond, which offers them warmth and clarity. By likening this connection to “magic,” the song emphasizes how love can act as a temporary escape from the emotional numbness that dominates their lives. This connection brings a sense of relief, providing both hope and strength, and offering a brief respite from the emotional coldness they feel. [Please note that this is our interpretation of the song's meaning, based on the ongoing narrative of TXT's discography and insights from the members and official press releases. It's perfectly fine to have a different interpretation—after all, that's the beauty of music ♡]
LYRICS
Remember how I used to be so
Stuck in one place, so cold?
Feeling like my heart just froze
Nowhere to go with no one, nobody
Suddenly, you came through
Making me make a move
Nobody got it like you
I can't look away, I can't
'Cause baby, you're a real one, real one
Teaching me to feel something so strong
We could reach out and grab it
Oh, it's just like magic
Feeling your touch, oh, it's a rush
No one else has it
It's just like magic
Oh, it's just like magic
Holding me tight, giving me life
Oh-oh, it's magic
Oh-oh, it's magic
Oh-oh, it's magic, oh-oh, it's magic
(Just like magic) Oh-oh, it's magic
Magic
Used to be so afraid
Afraid of all the games we played
Waited around all day
Nowhere to go with no one, nobody
Hoping someone would save me
'Til you called out my name
Something in me just changed
Got me awake, got me
Baby, you're a real one, real one
Teaching me to feel something so strong
We could reach out and grab it
Oh, it's just like magic
Feeling your touch, oh, it's a rush
No one else has it
It's just like magic
Oh, it's just like magic
Holding me tight, giving me life
Oh-oh, it's magic
Oh-oh, it's magic
Everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance
I say everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance
Everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance
I say everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance
I say everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance
I say everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance, say
Oh, it's just like magic
Feeling your touch, oh, it's a rush
No one else has it
It's just like magic
Oh, it's just like magic
Holding me tight, giving me life
Oh-oh, it's magic
Oh-oh, it's magic
Everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance, say
I say everybody, clap your hands
If you've got a broken heart, just take a chance, say
Helpful Context (Album Series Summary): Following the complexities and challenges that disrupted the boys’* dreamlike world in 'The Dream Chapters' and 'Minisode 1', 'The Chaos Chapters' depict the unraveling of this idyllic existence as they confront the harsh realities and responsibilities that threaten their dreams and relationships. Their once-peaceful lives are thrown into turmoil, leaving them feeling frozen and overwhelmed - until a transformative presence, symbolized as 'you'*, appears before them.
