Overall Meaning

The song PARADOX by 트랙스(The TRAX) explores the theme of insanity and the contradictions present in society. The lyrics are predominantly in Korean with some English phrases interspersed throughout. The song begins with lead vocalist, Rose, questioning the listener whether they too can feel the insanity around them. She questions whether the person she is singing to would still want to be with her even if she sells her soul to the devil. Rapper Typhoon enters with his verse, expressing the conflicts he sees in society: people obsessed with money and success, yet also living in fear of their own mortality. He questions whether he can trust the people around him, and if living in this paradoxical society is worth it. The chorus talks about holding onto hope and believing that there is more to the world than just the insanity that surrounds them. The song ends with a call for action, with the mention of "Justice," "Freedom," and "Our Territory" and a new paradigm that the lyrics claim the band's words bring. They ask the listener to make a decision, "Live or die."


PARADOX by 트랙스(The TRAX) was the first single released by the band after their hiatus in 2009. The song was written by members Jay and Jungmo, and arranged by Jungmo. The music video was directed by Kim Hye Jung, and features the band playing in a dark warehouse, with psychedelic visuals and flashing lights. The video also features members of the band performing stunts and acrobatics, adding to the song's theme of madness and insanity.

How can they went from Nu-metal band with a visual kei aesthetic to edm/pop band? SM did these guys dirty.
