Reunion
Nótt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brothers, sisters torn apart
And the only line I ever heard
Was the line when you told me
"Girl, you'd better listen,
Cause the days for you are numbered"
There was a gathering
And the only thing understood
Was the time when they said
"You do what you got to to get by...
You do what you got to to get by"
When they all ran outside
Was when we dropped the bomb
You could hear the screams of terror for miles
But who really knew
(It so well hidden)
Who really knew
There were protests
People in the streets with signs that said
"You murdered this man, and there's blood on your hands"
With signs that said
"I can't believe I have to do this shit again"
And rainbow flags
"I want a better place for my kids"
We gotta figure this out
Before it's too late
Before it all ends
God knows no one ever wanted to do this shit again
Writing protest songs
Marching on the square
Then coming home, beat down and ready to collapse
Before we get up and go again
The lyrics of Nótt's song "Reunion" paint a vivid picture of a world torn apart by conflict and injustice, with themes of familial separation, societal unrest, and the relentless cycle of struggle and resilience. The opening lines describe the heartbreak of families being ripped apart, likely referencing the emotional toll of war or political turmoil. The ominous warning "Girl, you'd better listen, Cause the days for you are numbered" hints at a sense of impending danger or urgency, adding a layer of tension to the narrative.
The mention of a gathering or reunion where the mantra "You do what you got to to get by" is repeated suggests a gathering of individuals who have faced adversity and are imparting survival advice to each other. This could symbolize a sense of unity and shared struggles among a community facing hardships. The following mention of dropping a bomb and the ensuing chaos and terror suggests a sudden escalation of conflict, leading to widespread fear and confusion, highlighting the unpredictable and destructive nature of violence.
The lyrics then shift to a scene of protests and activism, with people taking to the streets to condemn acts of violence and demand justice. The protesters' signs accusing authorities of murder and calling for a better future for their children reflect a deep-seated frustration with systemic injustices and a desire for change. The mention of rainbow flags hints at the inclusivity and diversity of the movement, emphasizing the collective effort to create a more inclusive and equitable society.
In the final verses, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and determination to overcome the challenges facing the community. The call to "figure this out before it's too late" underscores the need for proactive action and unity in the face of adversity. The references to writing protest songs, marching, and persevering through hardship capture the cycle of resistance and resilience in the face of oppression. Despite the exhaustion and weariness expressed in the lines "beat down and ready to collapse," the resolve to continue the fight for justice and a better future remains strong, encapsulating the enduring spirit of activism and hope in the face of adversity.

There were families
Families were separated and torn apart
Brothers, sisters torn apart
Even siblings were separated and torn apart
And the only line I ever heard
The only thing that stood out to me
Was the line when you told me
Was when you warned me
"Girl, you'd better listen,
"You need to pay attention,
Cause the days for you are numbered"
Because your time is running out"
There was a gathering
A meeting took place
You could call it a reunion
In a sense, it felt like a reunion
And the only thing understood
The only thing clear
Was the time when they said
Was when they emphasized
"You do what you got to to get by...
"Survival means doing whatever it takes...
You do what you got to to get by"
Doing whatever is necessary to survive"
When they all ran outside
As they all fled outdoors
Was when we dropped the bomb
We unleashed chaos and destruction
You could hear the screams of terror for miles
The sounds of fear echoed for miles
But who really knew
But who truly understood
(It so well hidden)
(It was hidden so well)
Who really knew
Who truly grasped the situation
There were protests
Demonstrations were taking place
People in the streets with signs that said
With signs proclaiming
"You murdered this man, and there's blood on your hands"
"You are responsible for this death, blood is on your hands"
With signs that said
With other signs saying
"I can't believe I have to do this shit again"
"I am frustrated that I must protest this again"
And rainbow flags
And colorful flags symbolizing diversity
"I want a better place for my kids"
"I am striving for a brighter future for my children"
We gotta figure this out
We must find a solution
Before it's too late
Before time runs out
Before it all ends
Before everything comes to a close
God knows no one ever wanted to do this shit again
No one wants to go through this hardship again
Writing protest songs
Composing songs of dissent
Marching on the square
Walking in protest in the public square
Then coming home, beat down and ready to collapse
Returning exhausted and on the verge of collapse
Before we get up and go again
Before we rise and repeat the process
