Room for One More
Anthrax Lyrics

Fix the mental, as if that changes anything
Attempting to rectify your mental state will not change the actions you've taken.

Your heart is cured now, you're normal once again
Despite finding redemption, you cannot erase the past and you will never be quite the same as you once were.

One confession, you thought that's all it took
Confessing to past wrongdoings does not eliminate the consequences that come with them.

But redemption, doesn't let you off the hook
Exploring redemption does not free you from the repercussions of your actions.

One of us
The artist is acknowledging that they, too, have made mistakes and are not innocent of past indiscretions.

Can't erase the past to change who he would be
Despite wanting to change, you can't escape the impact of previous choices.

On a whim would act, then look for sympathy
It's easy to do something without considering the consequences and then seek pity when they materialize.

Not from me
The artist is declaring that they will not provide sympathy for the wrongdoings of others.

Hear me say
The artist is asking the listener to pay attention.

Chance to believe in
The opportunity to believe in yourself and your ability for redemption.

That you can even the score
To have faith in the idea that you can make amends for past actions.

Place at the table
The artist is speaking of the figurative table of life; meaning there is always space for one more person to change themselves for the better.

Always room for one more
There is always room for self-improvement and change, regardless of past actions.

Thinking evil, is that just your normal gig
Contemplating malevolent actions has become a common practice of the subject.

Fueled by hatred, happy as a stuffed pig
Fuelled by the destructive emotion of hate, the individual relishes in their wrongdoings.

You're so lonely, everyone around you reeks
The subject is surrounded by well-adjusted individuals, highlighting their own shortcomings.

Of indifference, thriving in their apathy
The people around the subject are indifferent to the negative impact of his actions because they are only invested in themselves.

Your schism, my distress
The subject's fractures and divisiveness create pain in the singer.

Your failure is my success
When the subject fails to change, it serves to make the singer's own progress all the more valuable.

Squeezed out, kept me down
The subject's negative behavior has kept the artist from growing.

What goes around comes around
Karma always finds a way to make those who performed negative actions feel their due punishment.

I can wait you out
The artist is willing to wait for the subject's negative actions to catch up to them.

Patience is my virtue
The singer is highlighting their own strength and virtue by being patient with the subject.

Call it payback, call it proper grounds
The artist sees justice in the idea of the subject receiving punishment for their past actions.

Always room for one more
The singer reiterates the message that anyone can change themselves for the better, making space for one more person to take that chance.
