The Pursuit of Euphoria in TXT's 'Chasing That Feeling'
TOMORROW X TOGETHER, commonly known as TXT, is a South Korean boy band known for their youthful energy and emotive lyrics that often resonate with the experiences of adolescence and young adulthood. 'Chasing That Feeling' is a song that encapsulates the nostalgia and longing for the euphoria of past experiences, a common theme in the coming-of-age narrative.
The lyrics of 'Chasing That Feeling' reflect on a time that was filled with joy and simplicity, a 'perpetual high' that the narrator yearns to experience again. The reference to a 'moonlit night' and 'summer, one-nine' suggests a specific memory that holds significant emotional weight. The song speaks to the universal desire to recapture moments of pure happiness that seem to slip away with time. The phrase 'Time's a thief that keeps on stealing' poetically expresses the inevitability of change and the loss of these cherished times.
However, the song is not just about loss and nostalgia; it's also about hope and determination. The repeated lines 'I just keep on chasing that feeling' and 'Won't give up, won't stop believing' convey a sense of perseverance and optimism. The metaphor of 'pressed butterflies' in a 'kaleidoscope' suggests that while these moments are fleeting, they leave a lasting impression that continues to inspire. The song encourages listeners to keep pursuing the joy and wonder of life, despite the knowledge that such moments are transient. 'Chasing That Feeling' is a motivational anthem for anyone who has ever longed to relive a magical moment or is in search of creating new ones.
