Lyrics
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
I am not emotionally prepared to confront a memory.
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
Reiteration of the emotional unpreparedness to encounter a memory.
A memory that abandoned me
The memory in question has forsaken or left the person.
Falling silent, going mad
Experiencing a state of silence and mental distress.
I've gone walkabout with the parasites in my head
Metaphorically engaging with destructive thoughts or influences in the mind.
Far too quiet, it's deafening
Feeling uncomfortably quiet, almost overwhelmingly loud internally.
As I pick away at the surface, the itch burns through my skin
Scratching the surface to alleviate an internal discomfort.
When the dirt crushes my bones (ooh)
Anticipating the physical decay or deterioration of the body.
And the worms call me their home (ooh)
Imagining the body becoming a habitat for worms after death.
If I'm asked to start again
Facing the prospect of starting anew.
I can't pretend I'm ready
Unable to fake readiness for a fresh start.
I can't pretend, I've had plenty
Expressing that there has been more than enough of something (perhaps hardship).
Drown this broken dream
Metaphorically wanting to drown a shattered dream or hope.
A taste was quite enough for me
Having had enough of experiencing or pursuing a particular desire.
My mind's too unsteady
Indicating mental instability or emotional unease.
Stay away from me, please
Requesting others to keep a distance due to personal struggles.
I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me
Reiterating the emotional unreadiness to face a memory that has deserted.
I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me
Continuation of the theme of being unprepared for a memory.
When the dirt crushes my bones (I'll never be ready to meet a memory)
Repeating the anticipation of physical decay when confronted with a memory.
And the worms call me their home (a memory that abandoned me)
Recalling the idea of the body becoming a dwelling for worms due to a memory.
If I'm asked to start again
Facing the possibility of starting over again.
I can't pretend I'm ready
Admitting the inability to pretend to be ready for a new beginning.
I can't pretend, I've had plenty
Reiterating that there has been more than enough of something (possibly hardship).
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
Expressing perpetual emotional unpreparedness to confront a memory.
A memory that abandoned me
Re-emphasizing the theme of a memory that has abandoned the person.
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
Continuation of the persistent emotional inability to meet a deserted memory.
A memory that abandoned me
Repeating the idea of a memory that has left or forsaken the individual.
