The first version of this album<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Chaos Chapter: Freeze <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will be up for review in the next edition of this series. For now, I\u2019m going to analyze the three new additions: \u201cLO$ER=LO<\/span><b>\u2661<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ER\u201d, \u201cMOA Diary (Dubaddu Wari Wari)\u201d, and \u201c0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat. Seori (Emocore Mix)\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b><i>The Chaos Chapter: Fight or Escape<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cLO$ER=LO\u2661ER\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This song is about a narrator who considers himself a loser and his desire to be a sufficient lover to his partner. He feels that he has failed his partner by being a loser in the eyes of the world, and he wishes to let go of the pain that only his love provides sanctuary from. The chorus says, \u201cLover with a dollar sign \/ Is a loser.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I interpret this line, and in turn the title, as a commentary on the commendation of love. The narrator fears this relationship he values so deeply will become materialistic, and that instead of staying together because they truly care about each other, the strength of their love will be determined by how much extrinsic value they place on each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> At the suggestion of Bang PD, Choi Yeonjun wrote the rap verse of this song. In an interview, Yeonjun explained, \u201cI gained inspiration for it through Netflix\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The End of the F****** World<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8230;I tried to express \u201cLO$ER=LO<\/span><b>\u2661<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ER\u201d in a more sorrowful way.\u201d I feel like he captured the essence of TEOTFW perfectly: a love affair between two young people who\u2019ve been hurt through the world\u2019s rejection of their personalities. The lines \u201cWings spread and broken (Wings) \/ Flyin&#8217; to eternity \/ But I can&#8217;t help falling \/ Even with you (Even with you) \/ Falling is beautiful\u201d draw parallels to the scene where Alyssa and James, the protagonists, reunite after individually coming to the conclusion that they feel more safe and more like themselves when they\u2019re together than they do when they\u2019re apart. It has these conflicting themes of apathy and intense adoration, defeated by the world but victorious in each other. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concept of choosing to brand yourself a love when the world has declared you a loser is inspired by Steven King\u2019s hit film <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">franchise <em>It<\/em>; in the first movie, a bully writes \u201cLOSER\u201d on the cast of a character\u2019s broken arm, and his friends help him take back his power by writing a \u2018v\u2019 over the \u2018s\u2019, branding him a \u201cLOVER.\u201d Overall, it\u2019s an excellent song with tragically beautiful and captivating lyrics. TXT has not a single skip in their discography, but within the first twenty seconds of listening to this song, I knew it would soon become one of my favorites. In addition to the stunning vocals and hypnotic raps, the song also has a great flow to it, which can be attributed to the diligent team of writers who contributed to the creation of this piece. If there\u2019s one song that\u2019ll get you into Tomorrow X Together, I think it\u2019s this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TXT (\ud22c\ubaa8\ub85c\uc6b0\ubc14\uc774\ud22c\uac8c\ub354) &#039;LO$ER=LO\u2661ER&#039; Official MV\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JzODRUBBXpc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/21aOLk12MksET8AsbU0SI6?si=2OkKflemQ9ab1_hn5vSCIA&amp;dl_branch=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LO$ER=L\u2661VER &#8211; song by TOMORROW X TOGETHER | Spotify<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201cMOA Diary (Dubaddu Wari Wari)\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The eighth track in this album is dedicated to MOA (Moments of Alwaysness), which is the cherished collective name for their fans. The placement of this song is thought to be intentional, with the \u20188\u2019 doubling as an infinity sign&#8211;solidifying TXT\u2019s promise to be with MOA forever. Since late July, the community has been celebrating our August 22nd birthday with the hashtag \u201cLOOKBACK_MOA\u201d, where both fans and the artists have been sharing their favorite memories of their time together. The slogan makes an appearance in the chorus: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look back \/ The time of you and I that feels like a dream \/ Forever MOA \/ Until we\u2019re shining again\u2026\u201d This and lines such as \u201cEven these ordinary days\/\u00a0 These days when we lost the summer \/ Record it in our diary tonight \/ It\u2019ll be our consolation, our summer night\u2026\u201d encourage their fans to remain hopeful throughout the ongoing pandemic, which has separated the members and MOA from interacting in-person for well over a year. \u201cWe Lost the Summer\u201d is also the name of a song from their latest EP,\u00a0 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">min1sode: Blue Hour <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which further explores the ways in which the global crisis of Covid has affected the way performers interact with their audiences. In a recent interview with Jessi, Soobin specified that the song is written as though MOA is reading the group&#8217;s diary, hence the alternate title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/3XoYQvTJK5KT0ynrq7mcCN?si=HkXVguqLSaaf_dwd_83UZA&amp;dl_branch=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MOA Diary (Dubaddu Wari Wari) &#8211; song by TOMORROW X TOGETHER | Spotify<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>\u201c0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat.

In an article by TeenVogue, Yeonjun comments on how the stylization has brought a new meaning to the remixed version: \u201c&#8230;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this song captures the passion to fight for the one they love, or to run away with them. So I think the difference between the two songs is, someone who was frozen, and someone who is now actively pursuing and fighting for their love.\u201d This commentary prompts listeners to completely reimagine the song they have been looping for the past two months. Lines such as \u201cIn this world of ice \/ You\u2019re the only shining glow \/ Now I can\u2019t stop thinking \u2018bout you \/ When I\u2019m sinking alone\u201d no longer express the narrator\u2019s desperation; instead, it is fuel for him to take an active role in his pursuit of forever with his partner. The narrator is more resolute when discussing the stake he has in this relationship with phrases like \u201cTill the end of the world (I love you) \/ All or nothing, I want all of you \/ I know I love you (you).\u201d The selection of intense words and phrases reinforces that this is the narrator\u2019s ultimate connection, and therefore leaves a heavier impact on the listener.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/6XtPOQQmTO5hLdaD8ICyEU?si=dk080f-mTcSxAgQkeFh4ng&amp;dl_branch=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat.
