Make Room!!!!
My Chemical Romance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down on the coffin there's a coffin or two,
Dead chic, so cool,
The cannibals are starving when they're looking at you.
Tank tops, jet stream,
Karate lessons with a killing machine.
White lines, nose bleeds,
(Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta)
Me and you and all of this living dead
Burning up in the sun where the bodies add
Sitting here with you in misery
Anybody gonna come and rescue me?
La la la
Alright
Whoa!
Make room! Make room!
One day you'll gonna have explaining to do.
Drag star, so cool,
There's only room for one man and the one is you, you, you
Me and you and all of these living dead,
Burning up in the sun where the bodies add
Got a taste for cash and androgyny
Anybody wanna come and rescue me?!
Alright, oh oh oh oh
Well alright, well alright, well alright
Well alright, well alright, well alright, well alright
She's alright
Everybody in the room is alright
Everybody wants to change the world!
Everybody wants to change the world!
But no one, no one wants to die!
Everybody wants to change the world!
Everybody wants to change the world!
But no one, no one wants to die!
Everybody wants to change the world!
Everybody wants to change the world!
But no one, no one wants to die!
We are never gonna change the world!
We are never gonna change the world!
'Cause we are never gonna die!
Everybody wants to change the world!
Everybody wants to change the world!
But no one, no one wants to die!
Everybody wants to change the world!
Everybody wants to change the world!
But no one, no one wants to die!
Everybody wants to change the world!
Everybody wants to change the world!
But no one, no one wants to die!
Everybody wants to change the world!
Everybody wants to change the world!
But no one, no one wants to die!
Make room!
The song "Make Room!!!!" by My Chemical Romance is a high-energy anthem that seems to be about the societal pressures to conform and change in order to be successful. The opening lines, "Make room! Make room!/Down on the coffin there's a coffin or two," set a grim tone, and the lyrics continue in a similar vein, with references to cannibals, tank tops, and karate lessons with a killing machine. It's clear that the song is about the struggle to stand out in a world where everyone is trying to change themselves to fit in.
The chorus of the song emphasizes this point, with the repetition of the line "Everybody wants to change the world!/But no one, no one wants to die!" This seems to suggest that people want to make a difference in the world, but they're not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to do so. The final lines, "Make room! Make room!/We are never gonna change the world!/ 'Cause we are never gonna die!" drive home the fatalistic message that the band is trying to convey.
Overall, "Make Room!!!!" is a frenetic and passionate song that seems to be about the fear of conformity and the desire to be unique and recognized in a world that wants everyone to be the same.
