Naul's Memory of the wind



Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought:
  1. the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader. 
  2. Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing.
  3. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer.
  4. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.)
  5. Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.)
  6. The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reason why she agreed to marry him. LOL

After watching it with subtitles:
  1. OH! The dad died saving his daughter from a bomb (still not feasible that he succeeded in shielding her from a bomb with his body alone). And shes all grown up and she is getting married and is remembering her Dad who isn't able to give her  away. she's kinda nervous to be opening her heart to another man...?
  2. The soldier is coming back from some far away place (and he's sexy especially when he's getting of his horse[that tense jaw is so smexy!!!]). but if he's coming from a far away place how did he the the girl meet? And if he lived there before shouldn't there be more of a welcome party?)
  3. All goes well and she accept the new love in her life while holding on to memories of her dearly departed father.
After that I was still curious. I felt like there was more to it. So, like every curious person whoknows how to utilize resources, I googled. I found We eat lemon's article called First Take: Naul's Memory of the wind. It really gave me a new view I cant believe I missed it! The Fish is a symbol for Christianity. Then people's posts on one of the videos for the song as such:
The man was JC who died for the us.the young girl, which represents people,
grew up and waiting for Him comming again
finally he is back and we became a bride of JC
it is hard to understand because you have to understand the bible first.
The un-burning of the paper fish refers to the resurrection of Christ soon after saving mankind by his death.
 So here is my most recent take on Naul's Memory of the wind.

  1. The first scene is Christ watching us sadly, waiting for when he can swoop in and save us.
  2. The sweet little girl  is a flash back to young humanity.
  3. The shadow raising its head is Naul
  4. The young lady is those of us who are waiting for Christ to return. 
  5. the man and the little girl are God and early humanity. God held our hand and played with us and the moment he let us out of his sight things went awry (the bombs). And then he saves us from the bombs (sin) by dying for us.
  6. the sexy young man getting of his horse is Christ back to us again with the promise of life.
  7. "The un-burning of the paper fish refers to the resurrection of Christ soon after saving mankind by his death."
I hope this did something for you! Cause writing this sure did a lot for me. ^_^

my shattered heart

so i was the one to say the words, to put the ring back into your recieving hand. we were supposed to have become a happy married couple today but we became two disgruntled single people. I said I love you because I do and to talk to me if you needed to talk because I wanted you to tell me I could talk to you. You always thought that i had friends to talk to but i don't. their lives are so shiny and filled with light and to go tarnish it with my problems especially when I think I am the Problem is not feasible for me. I don't have a wonderful man anymore. I pray that he continues to find himself and grow to have a beautiful family that ill probably be envious of and a nice compassionate wife. I don't know what to do with myself. Usually people  who break up with people have somewhere to go, something to focus on. I feel like a dunce at work a pretender and i'll soon be found out and kicked out. I feel like my relationships with people all over are so shallow.

Life leaves me wanting.

The way I've lead my life leaves me wanting so much more. For example the last 8 years of my life could have been so much more active, or so much productive, so much more aspiring, so much more of so much more... I could have set goals for myself experimented in more ways life, love, art and faith. In my life I could have been childlike, I could asked the questions I longed to ask save for fear that if I ask them it would seem as if I was rejecting God, rejecting religion. But that's just a part of what I could have done that is so much more. I could have been so much more. I can still be so much more. the entirety of the rest of my life lies  before me. The words that I say, every one of them, a new beginning. The much more that I desire, it's within my grasp. The questions I want to ask, God's ears are open I only need ask; I only need to look forward and test the waters by doing more; to producing more and to be more active. The entirety of existence has not end
