In this MV, Kris put two extra monologues inside. Now, we'll analyze the lyrics by splitting them into the front and back.
The two monologues are like intertextual dialogue; they give us a feeling that Kris is trying to convey something, maybe to talk to the tribesmen, the public, and himself. Kris expands his impact with his international music and MV; this allows the public and the tribesmen to focus on the serious problems that aboriginal people are facing now, which is the fading of traditional culture.
Front monologues (Utjung, 00:01-00:30)
Na itateveljan sun （Gather around in the same circle）
ljaua neka nga nu su varung imaza （Yet your soul is elsewhere）
Nu vai anga ramaljemaljen （When the elders were gone）
Anema tja sinitulu? （What else can we learn?）
Nu Ljemita ta tja pilisiyan （The ritual every time）
Nu su Sinan levalevan na macidilj （Is just like a party）
Uri patjemaljiyan itjen （We played through the night）
Sa anema atja pacugan atja sini patjemaljiya? （Then what is the meaning for us to stay?）
Back monologues (Utjung, 02:45-03:05)
Nu ngidanga isuna maqaiqiz atja pacugan （When will you take our problems seriously?）
Atja ljingav nu tjacuai tjapasikedri （There are fewer and fewer hunters' footprints）
Nu izua tu pina' ataljan nu nekanga nu qemeljinge tjanusun （One day when you find that no one defends your rights）
Tua zua nga maqulip anga itjen （That was when we really started to disappear）
Front part: At the time of the ritual or festival, the tribe members gathered, but each had their own thoughts. Some insisted on tradition, while others were seeking wine and meat. Yet, time never stopped, ritual turned into party, and the traditional culture's true meaning has been lost. The young in the past were getting old; they had witnessed the decline of the tribe and culture. People can not gather at a ritual just for drinking.
Back part: The tribe members were drinking for fun and desire; they were unwilling to face the fact that their culture was in danger. When no one is willing to carry on the traditional culture, it will disappear for good in history. There is a saying from the movie Coco: the true death is when no one else in the world cares about you anymore (Coco 45:20-45:50). It is the same for the culture of aboriginal people; once no one cares about it, it will fade away.
Through this MV, Kris wishes to raise people's attention to how important the aboriginal people's traditional culture is. It is not only to his tribe members, but also to the public who are watching the MV, and also to himself. Kris also left a comment below the MV: "Don't be a language master only after you are drunk." Kris did not wish drinking to become a negative tag of aboriginal people. Drinking has a close connection with aboriginal people's traditional culture, and tribe members should drink for the ritual instead of their own desire and fun.
