Breaking Free from Chaos: The Essence of 'No Rules' by TXT
TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT) delivers a powerful message in their song 'No Rules,' capturing the essence of youthful rebellion and the desire to break free from societal constraints. The lyrics reflect a sense of confusion and frustration with the rigid structures and routines that dominate daily life. The repeated lines '편향하고 싶은 나였는데 why' (I wanted to be biased, why) and '대혼란 대혼란' (great confusion, great confusion) emphasize the internal struggle and the overwhelming chaos the narrator feels.
The song opens with an invitation to join in a liberating vibe, setting the tone for a journey of self-discovery and defiance. The lyrics '왜 이런 걸까 나도 잘 몰라' (Why is this happening? I don't know either) and '어서 일어나 you wake up' (Hurry up and wake up) suggest a call to awaken from the monotony and embrace a more spontaneous and authentic way of living. The confusion between '왼발인지 오른발인지' (left foot or right foot) and '지금 A.M.인지 P.M.인지' (whether it's A.M. or P.M.) symbolizes the disorientation caused by a life dictated by schedules and expectations.
As the song progresses, the desire to escape becomes more pronounced. The lines '선들이 걷힌 이 곳 되돌려 놔 줄래 없던 일로 no rules' (Can you turn back this place where the lines are drawn, make it like it never happened, no rules) express a longing to return to a state of freedom and simplicity. The metaphor of '가메선 diamond 현실은 bottom' (the diamond in the dark, reality is the bottom) highlights the contrast between dreams and harsh realities. Ultimately, 'No Rules' is a rallying cry for those who feel trapped by societal norms, encouraging them to dance and live without constraints, even if just for a moment.
