Another One Bites The Dust
Queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, let's go

Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along
Without you when you're gone?
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you, too
Another one bites the dust

Hey
Oh, take it
Bite the dust
Kinda dusty

Hey

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust, hey-hey
Another one bites the dust, eh-eh

Ooh, shout out
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him
You can treat him bad and then leave him when he's down

But I'm ready, yes, I'm ready for you
I'm standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat, oh, yeah

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I'm gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Ooh, shoot out
Hey-hey
All right

Overall Meaning

The song “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen is a disco-funk rock anthem from their eighth studio album, The Game. The song is widely considered Queen’s most popular song and is interpreted in different ways by different people. Some people speculate that the song is about a gunfighter while others think the song is about how cruel the world can be. The song begins with Steve walking warily down the street, with the brim of his hat pulled way down low, with machine guns ready to go. As he walks, bullets rip out of the doorway to the sound of the beat. Then, the chorus of the song brings about the phrase “Another one bites the dust” which is chanted multiple times.


The second verse deals with one person asking the other how they think they’re going to get along without the other person when they’re gone. The person being asked took everything they had and kicked them out on their own. The lyrics seem to indicate that the other person is glad to be rid of the first person and is happy now. The chorus then comes back in with the repeated phrase “Another one bites the dust.”


The third verse expresses the idea that there are plenty of ways to hurt someone and bring them down, but the person singing is ready for them. They are standing on their own two feet and the bullets rip out of the doorway to the sound of the beat. The song ends with another round of the chorus and a final shout-out from the band.

@user-ip9yu7lp1q

Let's go!
출발 하자!
Steve walks warily down the street
스티브가 조용히 거리를 걷고 있다.
with his brim pulled way down low
모자를 푹 눌러 쓴채
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
고요한 거리엔 녀석의 발소리밖에 들리지 않고
Machine guns ready to go
기관총도 준비가 끝났어
Are you ready? Hey are you ready for this
준비 됐냐? 준비 됐냐고
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
퍼질러 앉아 뭉기적 거리고 있는 거냐
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
문 밖에서 총알을
to the sound of the beat
갈겨대고 있잔아

Another one bites the dust
또 한놈이 쓰러지고
And another one gone
그리고 또하나
Hey I'm gonna get you too
임마, 이제 너도 잡을거야

How do you think I'm going to get along
그동안 내가 어떻게 살았을거 같냐
without you when you're gone
네 놈 없이, 네놈이 떠나고 나서
You took me for everything that I had
넌 내 모든것을 빼앗고
And kicked me out on my own
내 자리에서 날 내쳤잔아
Are you happy, are you satisfied
행복해? 이제 만족하냐?
How long can you stand the heat
네놈이 내 총알을 얼마나 받아 낼까?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
이미 문짝엔 총알이 박혀
to the sound of the beat
좋은 소리를 내고 있잔아?
shoot out
갈겨 버려

Hey, i'm take it
임마, 너도 잡을거야

Ooh shoot out
오! 쏴버려!
There are plenty of ways
사람을 엿먹이고
that you can hurt a man
사람을 엿먹이고
And bring him to the ground
바닥을 기게 하는 방법은 아주 많지
You can beat him
때려 눕힐수도 있고
You can cheat him
속일수도 있고
You can treat him bad
개같이 다뤄준 다음
And leave him when he's down
널부러진 녀석을 뒤로한채 떠나도 그만이지
But I'm ready!
어쨌든 난 준비 됐어!
Yes I'm ready for you
네놈을 잡을 거야
I'm standing on my own two feet
아직 난 내 두발로 버티고 서있어
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
문밖에선 총알이
repeating to the sound of the beat
계속해서 두드려 대고 있네

Shoot out
갈겨 버려
