===Lyrics and musical style===
With many of their releases, VIXX has tackled themes such as hope, dreams, falling madly in love with a girl even though it hurts, such in the songs “[[On and On (VIXX song)|On and On]]” ({{Korean|다칠 준비가 돼 있어}}), which literally translates into "I'm Ready to Get Hurt", "[[Voodoo Doll (VIXX song)|Voodoo Doll]]" and "[[Chained Up]]"; breaking up with their lovers "[[Love Equation]]", "Don’t Want to Be An Idol"'; generally sad or dark love songs, with the themes of obsession and insanity such as the songs "[[Hyde (song)|Hyde]]" and "[[G.R.8.U]]"; and emotional breakdown in "[[Error (VIXX song)|Error]]" and the timelessness of love in "[[Eternity (VIXX song)|Eternity]]". Most, if not all of their songs, play on the depth of raw human emotion.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Which is the best VIXX Concept?|url = http://www.soompi.com/2016/01/30/which-is-the-best-vixx-concept/|date = 2016-02-14|website = soompi}}</ref> VIXX plays an active role producing their music, with all members participating in the ideas and concepts.<ref>{{Cite web|title =[INTERVIEW] Cuvism Magazine - "A new idol group has been born, VIXX"|url = http://fyeah-vixx.com/post/45534617399/interview-cuvism-magazine-a-new-idol-group}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title =[INTERVIEW] STARAZ January Issue - "What is Next?
