Reunion
Nótt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There were families
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
You could call it a reunion
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

Overall Meaning

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.

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

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
