I'll never be ready to meet a memory
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me
Falling silent, going mad
I've gone walkabout
With the parasites in my head
Far too quiet, it's deafening
As I pick away at the surface
The itch burns through my skin
When the dirt crushes my bones
And the worms call me their home
If I'm asked to start again
I can't pretend I'm ready
I can't pretend I've had plenty
Drown this broken dream
A taste was quiet enough for me
My mind's too unsteady
Stay away from me, please
I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me
I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me
When the dirt crushes my bones
(I'll never be ready to meet a memory)
And the worms call me their home
(A memory that abandoned me)
If I'm asked to start again
I can't pretend I'm ready
I can't pretend I've had plenty
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me
I've gone walkabout
With the parasites in my head
Far too quiet, it's deafening
As I pick away at the surface
The itch burns through my skin
And the worms call me their home
If I'm asked to start again
I can't pretend I'm ready
I can't pretend I've had plenty
A taste was quiet enough for me
My mind's too unsteady
Stay away from me, please
I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me
(I'll never be ready to meet a memory)
And the worms call me their home
(A memory that abandoned me)
If I'm asked to start again
I can't pretend I'm ready
I can't pretend I've had plenty
A memory that abandoned me
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me

Northlane Frontman Marcus Bridge describes ‘Plenty’ as “a song of pessimism”, noting that it “looks at the idea of reincarnation”. Further expounding on the lyrical themes driving ‘Plenty’, Bridge mused: “As we watch the world deteriorate day by day, it becomes harder to see a way out and begs the question: If I was to start again from the beginning, if I could have a fresh start, would I take that opportunity? At this stage, I’ve had plenty.
