Notget Lyrics

Once you fell out of love
Our love couldn’t carry you
And I didn’t even notice
For our love kept me safe from death

You doubted the lights
And the shelter it can give
For in love we are immortal
Eternal and safe from death

[Chorus]
If I regret us
I’m denying my soul to grow
Don’t remove my pain
It is my chance to heal

We carry the same wound
But have different cures
Similar injuries
But opposite remedies

[Instrumental break]

After our love ended
Your arms don’t carry me
Without love I feel the abyss
Understand your fear of death

[Chorus 2]
I will not forget
This not get
Will you not regret
Having love let go

After our love ended
Your spirit entered me
Now we are the guardians
We keep her safe from death

Love will keep all of us safe from death
Love will keep all of us safe from death
Love will keep us safe from death
(Safe! From!)
Love will keep all of us safe from death
Death
Death
Love will keep us safe from (from) death
(Safe safe from from death death)
Deeeeeaaaatthhhhhhhh!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

So this is what I theorise the lyrics mean: Vulnicura sonically documents the circumstances and wrenching emotions surrounding the tragic breakdown of Bjork's marriage and her nest. 'Black Lake' is clearly the crescendo and crux. On the album, 'Noget' follows on from "Family". Family deals with the fallout damage to Bork's nuclear family unit; whereas 'Notget' contemplates her own personal emotions as a second thought to her family. She's not discounting her emotions (unlike her former partner) as she needs to heal. I feel "notget" is the loss of maintained love, her sole objective. "I will not forget, this notget". Love was the only thing that could keep their relationship alive and "safe from death".
