The song playing in the background while they are in the dance studio is a song called Sweat! It’s a song just for MOA where we had to answer questions on a website to listen to it. Now they have a live performance of it on their RUclips. For questions about the lore, I always suggest watching a Laina Sunflower video 🥰 she does a really good job explaining their lore, especially this music video. The mv makes a lot of sense if you read the Star Seekers webnovel. If you like fantasy and magic, you’ll love the story! I will say as a little teaser to the lore. The reason why it’s Yeonjun is because he makes a deal with the cat to get his Magic powers faster therefore- cheats the system. It’s one of those to gain something you must also sacrifice something. But also- he isn’t 🪦 in this timeline I usually recommend people listen to Eternally before watching the mv since it breaks up the song buuuutttttt it’s still a crazy listen to for the first time. The dance is so cool too 😍
Puma is so good, but since I found out that it was inspired by real life, based on a puma that escaped from the zoo, and didn't hurt anyone, but was killed, TXT tells it from the perspective of the puma, only they tried to give it a happy ending in the lyrics, since then, it makes me a bit sad to listen to it, sad and danceable 😭
8:58 The song on Background is called "Sweat". It's a secret song, you can't find it on any streaming platform. To unlock the song, you have to go to a website. It was released on their first world tour. There is no lyric video for it so i will write the lyrics here Sweat: Today we're going through it again Sweat stains on my back again Futile struggles weary days Don’t think about it, just don’t think about it Even if it’s dank and grimy It’ll dry off into thin air eventually So don’t sweat it, don’t worry about it We don’t have to sweat it, don’t fret about it Ma sweat like rain someday we make it rain My sweat might be worth more than money Feel it keep pouring Keep my light twinkling I’m gonna become a shining star Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah) Higher higher (hey) Gonna shine like the star up there All day let it glimmer brighter Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah) Higher higher (hey) Gonna glitter like five bright stars Like us twinkle ever brighter Remember the moments we soaked with sweat To look back on these days when our dream has been met We can make it with the five of us together Drench tomorrow and the day after tomorrow with sweat and run farther You found me lost and became my salvation Tough times will just be a fond recollection For your whole life I can be Right by your side so why worry We will shine like a star at night Say yes Ma sweat like rain someday we make it rain My sweat might be worth more than money Feel it keep pouring Keep my light twinkling I’m gonna become a shining star Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah) Higher higher (hey) Gonna shine like the star up there All day let it glimmer brighter Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah) Higher higher (hey) Gonna glitter like five bright stars Like us twinkle ever brighter From countless stars in the sky Five stars with five colors gathered here You and me were different before Now we’ve become one single star Beautiful like the moment fireworks burst The story ends with five stars always together Want to collect every bead of sweat, your and mine And show them who we are Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah) Higher higher (hey) Gonna shine like the star up there All day let it glimmer brighter Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah) Higher higher (hey) Gonna glitter like five bright stars Like us twinkle ever brighter
Thanks for reacting to them! TXT is really artistry, they are on another level, the songs, the MVs, the choreographies, the conceptual trailers, their lore, everything is at an extraordinary level of excellence! I love them! Eternally is a song about delusion and confusion, serving as the perfect ending to this album about the struggles of friendship and self-discovery. The lyrics are deep into TXT’s fictional universe, so i would recommend paying more attention to the sound of the song (which is insane btw) “My heart sank into a maze of memories, Save me” - The maze is referring to the confusion the boys faced in their friendship, as seen in Can’t You See Me? The first verse and chorus of the song is about longing, and the melody is bittersweet, but then the song takes a full 180 and goes into nightmare mode, like what is expressed in the lyrics. “Eternally” takes an interesting musical trajectory, constantly switching two vastly different singing styles, almost as though dealing with two sides of the same persona. Even the instrumentation makes a distinct switch, contrasting between lackadaisical, soft beats, and heavier, uptempo beats. The blatant contrast seems to hint at the struggle between a hidden nightmare that one can’t let go of and an external face that is trying to move on from it, ('This darkness that swallowed a scream, This distance between you and me is growing bigger. My mind which is stuck in a nostalgic maze, save me".) As their voices take on a more airy quality, “Eternally” takes on a more sinister accent. Their verses lie on a quick instrumentation with rapid beats. Conversely, Soobin, Taehyun, and Beomgyu ground their vocals more and bring a dream-like quality to the song, singing, (“Don’t go breaking my heart, don’t go” ) as the beats slow down and become more sparse, lowering the intensity of the track.Through “Eternally”, the boys of TXT convey the pain of one growing distant from a friend or loved one, yet being unable to let them go and still wanting their presence in their lives. Yes, there’s a childlike quality to the lyrics, but both TXT and their audience are young, so the emphasis on these messages make sense. It might seem dramatic to most adults - but that is exactly what youth is. I highly recommend their live performance of Eternally: [T:TCAM] ‘Eternally’ stage @ ACT : LOVE SICK IN SEOUL - TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER): ruclips.net/video/ldx45XGJrH4/видео.html Their lore: The boys met at the Starlight Festival and played together, letting their imagination create a whole new magical world. They, therefore, made a promise to the Star that they would be together forever. However they ended up separating and the Star fell asleep. As they grew older, they started growing pains and fears that manifested onto their body like horns, pointy ears, spikes, odd eyes and wings. Have they become monsters? They wondered. The boys met again, but they didn't remember anything not even each other, why they met and what they had to do. As they reunited, they started to grow a friendship once again, playing and laughing with each other. They created the magic once again and started playing with it as they pleased. Reversing time, freezing the magical moments they created with their imagination. But dealing with something they don't know well, ended up messing with their reality, as the magical world they created started getting mixed with the reality and soon falling into chaos. Their friendship started falling apart as jealousy, distrust and death got on their way. They started fighting and they didn't know who to trust, what to remember and if they could be saved. A greater power out of their magical world is now flying in the sky (the dragon). It starts attacking them, destroying their friendship, their dreams and their world. Trying to save everyone and their friendship, they make a deal with an odd eye cat, but that power came with a price that they would suffer to pay. Now, as their monstrous side are surfacing and chaos is taking over their lives, they must remember a name, a name that needs to be called, a true name that might help them, probably MOA which is represented by a girl.They also must remember a song, the song of the Star, that once they sing it together they can save their friendship and the world. I alsor recommend TXT's first animated short film you can understand their lore better: The Doom's Night Online Live Premiere-TXT (Tomorrow by Together) (+ENG/JPN): ruclips.net/video/67WB7TY0HzQ/видео.html or (The Doom’s Night) Official Animation - TXT: ruclips.net/video/XaJpzANCy0w/видео.html Puma was inspired by a true story about the puma who died when it ran away from the zoo due the authority's negligence. There are different sides of the story, but most importantly the song revolves around how the puma felt when it finally escaped to the zoo and became free. It talks about how scary the world was when it was all alone there. The police were chasing it but it just ran for it's freedom, which indicates no matter how dark it is outside, though he doesn't know where he should go or even if it gets killed in the hand of police, he would rather have his freedom. The song really puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of freedom, be it the literal freedom of one being captive inside a place where he doesn't want to live, or the freedom of his speech, action, the way of living. On the other hand It feels like they are talking about their trainee period when they were locked inside the walls of the practice room, ("I see my mothers face I've longed for..... a saddened heart"...."How long till I reach my dreams?...Only gunshots ring out on that question"). But the freedom here means debuting. They lived without their parents or family for a long time and always questioned how long till they reach their dreams. But even after suffering long enough on the "cage", the moment they debuted, they started facing different harsh criticisms from the world, people started putting different false accusations on them. "Enemies" here might represent the antis who are always keeping an eye on them and trying to put them down. ("The scopes zero on your neck. Thousands of eyes get on internet. beware, enemies are everywhere"). But they are fulfilling their dreams, so they are still happy, they would still choose their dreams, ("But somehow I still feel happy"). The whole MV might also revolve around how some people remain controlled by the society. They are always asked to chase this one particular goal/boundary which is set by them as "perfection". People fight to reach this same goal and end up loosing themselves and their close ones. I highly recommend their performance at MMA 2020: TXT - Puma & Blue Hour | Break Dance Performance @ Melon Music Awards MMA 2020: ruclips.net/video/OmLaBZVGm9g/видео.html and their dance practice video for GDA 2021: TXT (TOMORROW X TOGETHER)'Puma Out of the Zoo (Dance Break ver.)' 2021 GDA Dance Practice: ruclips.net/video/Py4SDmNKgfI/видео.html
If you ever get the chance, there is a webtoon that's a pretty quick read that will give you a better understanding of the lore, but in short, yes, different dimensions/ timelines.
FYI, this video isn't on your TXT playlist, so I thought you skipped out on Eternity era. Took me awhile to find this reaction, but I'm glad you didn't miss it.

The way that ghost is someone we know all along.
Listen to Eternally outside of the mv, so you can appreciate the change better
eternally is just a masterpiece
It really is

Sweat:
Today we're going through it again
Sweat stains on my back again
Futile struggles weary days
Don’t think about it, just don’t think about it
Even if it’s dank and grimy
It’ll dry off into thin air eventually
So don’t sweat it, don’t worry about it
We don’t have to sweat it, don’t fret about it
Ma sweat like rain someday we make it rain
My sweat might be worth more than money
Feel it keep pouring
Keep my light twinkling
I’m gonna become a shining star
Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna shine like the star up there
All day let it glimmer brighter
Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna glitter like five bright stars
Like us twinkle ever brighter
Remember the moments we soaked with sweat
To look back on these days when our dream has been met
We can make it with the five of us together
Drench tomorrow and the day after tomorrow with sweat and run farther
You found me lost and became my salvation
Tough times will just be a fond recollection
For your whole life I can be
Right by your side so why worry
We will shine like a star at night
Say yes
Ma sweat like rain someday we make it rain
My sweat might be worth more than money
Feel it keep pouring
Keep my light twinkling
I’m gonna become a shining star
Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna shine like the star up there
All day let it glimmer brighter
Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna glitter like five bright stars
Like us twinkle ever brighter
From countless stars in the sky
Five stars with five colors gathered here
You and me were different before
Now we’ve become one single star
Beautiful like the moment fireworks burst
The story ends with five stars always together
Want to collect every bead of sweat, your and mine
And show them who we are
Believe it believe it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna shine like the star up there
All day let it glimmer brighter
Shine it shine it (yeah yeah yeah)
Higher higher (hey)
Gonna glitter like five bright stars
Like us twinkle ever brighter
The flower garden place where Taehyun found Yeonjun will be shown again in Frost mv which more down the line of the lore
Loving your txt reactions 💙
yeonjun ⚰️ all the time😭😭
He always dies 😭😭😭

Thank you so much for letting me know just added it!!
What about Enhypen "No doubt"
