The Chaos Chapter: Freeze

Freeze.jpg
MAY 31 2021 | SECOND FULL-LENGTH ALBUM | TITLE TRACK: 0x1=LOVESONG (I KNOW I LOVE YOU)

'THE CHAOS CHAPTER: FREEZE' SUMMARY: 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.

THE CHAOS CHAPTER 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.


*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.
