Kapanlagi.com - Tomorrow By Together or TXT is the second boy group produced by Bighit Entertainment, which has now changed its name to Bighit Music. This Boy Group consisting of Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai made their debut in March 2019 and now have 6 albums since their debut.
Debuting with a cheerful vibe through the song CROWN left a special impression in the hearts of MOA, the TXT fandom name. However, who would have thought that debuting with a cheerful impression, they were able to bring various music concepts like their recent comeback with a new album and a pop rock genre title track.
Although they have only been in the industry for 2 years as idols, Tomorrow By Together's songs actually have a unique characteristic that sets them apart from others. This Boy Group, dubbed as the Leaders of K-pop's 4th Generation, apparently brings themes in their songs that represent the young generation of Gen Z, so their songs are very much related to the current condition of young people. Despite their debut and having many cheerful-toned songs, these 5 TXT songs have a sad meaning.

The song Crown, which is their debut song, is a cheerful and enjoyable song. Not only the song, but also their dance moves leave an impression of children's cheerfulness. However, who would have thought that a song with a bright and vibrant yellow tone in its music video actually has a sad meaning.
One of the meanings of the lyrics of this song , "I want to run like this, I want to disappear far away, save me, I don't know who I am.” From the lyrics alone, this song already tells fans about their confusion and desire to escape. In an interview during their debut, TXT confirmed that the song Crown tells the story of the confusion about the identity of young people when they grow up.
2. Run Away

The song Run Away or 9 and Three Quarters is also equally sad as their debut song Crown. It has a pleasant melody and beat with strong drum beats as the opening music, and not many would guess that this song has a sad meaning.
Even the opening lyrics have a meaning, "everyone seems happy except me, it hurts more when I smile than when I cry.” The following lyrics even question how they survive in that situation. In the album's discography explanation on the ibighit.com website, it is explained that the songs in the album The Dream Chapter: Magic tell the story of the magical adventure of boys with different but also similar characteristics. The explanation also states that the songs in the album depict the transformation, confusion, and emotions of children who are transitioning into their teenage years.
3. Lost The Summer

The song Lost the Summer is one of the songs in TXT's album Minisode1: Blue Hour. This song, whose music video was released on November 12, 2020, also has a sad meaning. As a group representing the condition of Gen Z youth, this song tells the story of how the children lost their summer vacation due to Covid-19.
Having an energetic song and dance is in stark contrast to the meaning and concept they convey. One of their song lyrics means, "we lost our summer, we lost each other." TXT reveals in this song that Covid-19 not only made them lose their summer, but also the moments with their friends.
4. 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You)

The song 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) was just released in early 2021 and it has a fun and catchy music and beat. It brings the genre of pop rock for the first time, but surprisingly, it has a very painful meaning. The song, which is also produced by RM BTS, in the explanation of the discography on the official website ibighit.com, apparently carries the theme of how chaos happens to some young people, starting because of the existence of COVID-19 where their lives become ruined and empty. However, they managed to find and strengthen each other as friends.
One of their lyrics means, "my life was a mess before I met you, like a chess game that can never be won, we are at the bottom of a deep abyss." From that snippet of lyrics alone, we can see how frustrated they are because of the many problems that come one by one in their lives.
5. LO$ER=LO?ER

The song that was just released on August 17, 2021 also has energetic and enjoyable music. Comeback with a pop rock song for the second time apparently brings a song with such a sad meaning. In the MV of the song alone, it tells the story of five boys with their respective problems. Their problems are displayed from children from broken homes to representing young people who fail to achieve their dreams. So in this song, they decide to run and escape from the bitterness of the world.
Among fans, this song is mentioned as their story before the song 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You). The story where they haven't united and supported each other like in the song I Know I Love You. The song LO$ER=LO?ER tells more about their individual stories and the reasons they run away together. This song can be said to be the saddest song of all TXT songs because at the end of the song's story, they decide to go to another world and leave their current world.
