Lonely Whale
I
swim towards my future
In
the clear sea
I
believe in
My
mother told me the sea was clear and blue
Told
me to be loud so that others can hear it
But
what do I do?
It’s
so dark here
***********
Recently, I am interested about
something. It is a song. A Korean song. I do not know why it can be like this.
That song makes me have a lot of questions. I am very curious about the meaning
of this song and my curiosity took me to "The Most Lonely Creature in the
World" story. Seriously. I cried when I read the story about it for the
first time. The meaning is very deep and very touching ! I was very impressed
to the songwriter. The title of this song is
Whalien 52. It is very unique, right ? It is very unique, even just by
reading the title of the song can make us curious. The singer is Bangtan
Boys from South Korea. Because this is a Korean song, I have to find the
translation to understand it.
“Lonely
lonely lonely whale~”
It is one of the lyric that I know
because it is in English. From it, I know that it tells about whale. After I
searching the whole lyrics, I can understand the meaning of this song. Whalien
52 is abbreviation of whale + alien and
52 is a frequency of 52 hertz. Amazing.
******************
One day, My friends and I go to the
library. We want to find more information
about the whalien. We are very interested in the story that inspired the songwriter
in writing this song. How they could have thought to pick up the story of
whalien as their song? What they want to
say to us? These are a few questions that popped up in my mind.
“Whalien 52 is unlike the other whales.
It is a kind of whale that sings at a very high frequency (52 Hertz), so nobody
can hear it! ” My friend, Roy, looked very surprised after he reads the article
about whalien 52.
“Do you know? Normally, the whales are
unable to hear the frequency more than 12-25 hertz. For humans, it is special.
But for the group of whales, it is regarded as an alien. Whalien does not have
friend or couple because it can not communicate with other whales. Due to this,
it is a very lonely creature that always travels by itself.” Berlyn said. Her face
looked sad. “ It is very touching.”
“I know I know I know ! I think the
singers of whalien 52 tried to tell us that the lonely whale in this is song is
theirselves. Sometimes they feel that they are alone, everybody says different
things from them, nobody would not listen to them. But they can shine brightly,
they can emerge from the deep and dark ocean, and they want to fight this
loneliness. As the whale has to continue believing in its hertz, they have to
believe in their voices and songs, the things they want to share through them.
By doing this, one day the whale will be heard by other whales even from the
other side of the earth and they will be heard by other people in the world.
Nobody will be lonely again.” Chacha said. We all agree with her opinion.
“Wow! Bangtan Boys, You guys are amazing !” I
give my two thumbs up for them. “I am very impressed to the songwriter. They are
very genius people I think. Many people like to complain, whine, grumble, and
many more. But, we have better luck compared with the whalien. At least, you
are not alone in this world and there are people who can hear your crying and
your screaming. So we have to be grateful for what is already given by God.”. I
close the whalien 52 story book. We all are smiling.
“Yes… we are not a whalien~~”
^^ The End ^^
Whalien 52
The
most lonely creature in the world
You
wanna know my story
I never
told this to anybody
In
the middle of this ocean,
One
lonely whale cries
No
matter how much it shouts, no one can hear it
So
lonely it just stays quiet
No
matter who I was back then, it’s whatever now I don’t care
When
loneliness is by my side
I
become completely alone, sadness filling the lock
Whatever
now, I became a start
yeah
whatever, you can’t
stay
by anyone’s side
the
way you easily speak to me becomes a wall
Even
loneliness becomes an act in your eyes
I’m
trapped in this wall
I
can’t breathe properly
Towards
to surface
Lonely
lonely lonely whale
I
sing to myself
A
lonely island like me
Will
it shine bright?
Lonely
lonely lonely whale
I
sing again
This
song that receives no reply
I
sing till it reaches someone tomorrow
One
endless sea
I’ll
once reach
All
the way across the world
Even
the far sighted whales
Will
be able to see me
I’ll
sing today, too
The
world doesn’t know
How
sad I am
My
pain that can’t be mixed
Water
and oil
Only
above the surface
I
can’t stop caring when I breathe
A
lonely water child
I
wanna let them know
What
I’m worth Everyday
I
become seasick from worrying
A
sticker beneath my ear
Never
end,
There’s
no end and only hell
Even
if time flows
a
cold heart is Neverland
But
I keep thinking
Even
if you’re small, dream big
The
approaching praise
Will
make you dance everyday
Be
like me, Ye i’m swimmin’
I
swim towards my future
In
the clear sea
I
believe in
My
mother told me the sea was clear and blue
Told
me to be loud so that others can hear it
But
what do I do?
It’s
so dark here
The
other whales
Speak
so differently
I
juss can’t hold it ma
I
wanna say I love you
I
sing this song alone
I
flip the same music sheet
This
ocean is too deep
But
I’m grateful
(No
one will see my tears)
I’m
a whalien
Even
the far sighted whales
Will
be able to see me
I’ll
sing today, too
