Room for One More
After the Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish my room was round; the right angles box me in.
The air is thick in here; no windows open light is dim.
With radiation ray, keeps my feet on common ground.
Time has been delayed; the doors shut don't make a sound.

Stuck here forver
Waiting for the never
There's always room in here for one more.
Don't listen to the wake up call.
I'll still be here just waiting.
There's always room in here for one more.
Don't listen to the wake up call.
I'll still be here just waiting.

The day has come to pass, the night's slowly creeping out.
But I'm the only one, who's up, down, over and out.
If there were only just one more, it would make this room complete.
Then maybe just some how, we'd all get some sleep.

Stuck here forver
Waiting for the never

There's always room in here for one more.
Don't listen to the wake up call.
I'll still be here just waiting.
There's always room in here for one more.
Don't listen to the wake up call.
I'll still be here just waiting.

Stuck here forver
(Stuck here forever)
Stuck here forever
Waiting for the never

(There's always room in here for one more)
Don't listen to the wake up call
I'll still be here just waiting.
There's always room in here for one more.
Don't listen to the wake up call.




I'll still be here just waiting.
Be here just waiting.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Room for One More by After the Fall present a feeling of isolation and confinement in a small space. The singer wishes their room was round, as the right angles feel too restrictive and suffocating. The air is stagnant in the room, with no windows to let in light, and time seems to pass slowly as if delayed. The repeated line "Stuck here forever, waiting for the never" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and hopeless.


Despite the claustrophobic feeling of this room, the singer also seems to suggest that there is always room for one more person. They plead with the listener not to heed the wake-up call, as they continue to wait in this room. They imagine that if just one more person were to join them, they may all be able to sleep.


The song is ambiguous in its meaning, but it could be interpreted in a few different ways. One interpretation could be that the room represents a mental state or feeling of depression, and the singer is waiting for some sort of change or release from this state. Alternatively, the room could be a metaphor for society, and the singer is waiting for one more person to awaken to the injustices and problems in the world, so that together they can take action and make a change.

Stanley was the name of the unicorn in Charlie’s bedroom.

The Minireenas are quite literally using Stanley as a trojan horse
