THE CHAOS CHAPTER: FREEZE
MAY 31 2021 | 3RD FULL-LENGTH ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: 0x1=LOVESONG (I KNOW I LOVE YOU)
'The Chaos Chapter: FREEZE' portrays a world where the warmth of friendship and youthful dreams is disrupted by sudden coldness and isolation. The album delves into the emotional freeze experienced when facing the harsh realities of growing up, such as alienation, heartbreak, and confusion. It reflects TXT's efforts to navigate personal and external conflicts amidst the chaos of adolescence. The narrative conveys a sense of being stuck in time, grappling with changes and challenges. Yet, amidst this emotional coldness, the appearance of 'you,'* a special someone, symbolizes warmth and connection, offering moments of hope and resilience. We encourage you to read Weverse Magazine's First+View article for a further breakdown and explanation of this album. *The character of 'you' is intentionally broad, allowing for various interpretations. 'You' can be seen as a platonic figure (as depicted in the MVs), a romantic interest (which ties into the transitional chapter Minisode 2), or MOA, TXT’s fans (building on the Dream Chapters, which narrate TXT’s journey from trainees to debut). This broad interpretation of 'you' enables a wide-ranging illustration of TXT’s personal experiences as well as the experiences of youth more broadly.
