Bohemian Rhapsody
Glee Cast Lyrics

Is this the real life?
Wondering if what is being experienced is actual reality

Is this just fantasy?
Questioning the possibility that what is being experienced is just imagined

Caught in a landslide
Feeling trapped or overwhelmed

No escape from reality
Feeling like you cannot escape the current situation being experienced

Open your eyes
Encouragement to become aware of the current situation

Look up to the skies and see
Asking someone to look at the world and be aware of what is happening

I'm just a poor boy (poor boy)
Describing oneself as poor and not deserving of special treatment

I need no sympathy
Claiming to not want or need sympathy from others

Because I'm easy come, easy go
Not valuing things that come and go easily

Little high, little low
There are highs and lows in life

Any way the wind blows
Whatever will happen will happen

Doesn't really matter to me, to me
Not being concerned about what happens in the grand scheme of things

Mama just killed a man
Describing how the character's mother killed someone

Put a gun against his head
Describing how the mother killed the victim

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Describing how the mother killed the victim

Mama, life had just begun
Describing how the character's mother was still in the prime of her life

But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Regretting an action that was taken

Mama, ooh
Calling out to the character's mother

Didn't mean to make you cry
Apologizing for causing sadness or distress

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Imagining being gone for an extended period of time

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Encouragement to go on with life even if something terrible happens

Too late, my time has come
Realization that it is too late to change something

Sent shivers down my spine
Describing something that was very scary or breathtaking

Body's aching all the time
Describing physical pain

Goodbye, everybody
Saying goodbye to everyone

I've got to go
Knowing that it is time to leave or go somewhere

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Knowing that someone must leave to face what is true or real

I don't want to die
Describing a desire to continue living

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
Questioning the meaning or value of one's life

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Describing the sight of something or someone

Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Asking someone to dance or perform

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
Describing something that is very fearful or shocking

(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro
Mentioning the names of characters or people

Magnifico-o-o-o-o
Using a phrase to describe someone or something as being magnificent

He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Describing someone as being poor

Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Asking to spare someone from a terrible situation

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Asking for permission to leave or do something

Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
Refusing to allow someone to do something

Let him go
Allowing someone to go or do something

Let me go (will not let you go)
Asking for permission to leave or do something, but being repeatedly denied

Let me go (will not let you go) (never, never, never, never)
Being denied permission to leave or do something repeatedly and indefinitely

Let me go, o, o, o, o
Asking for permission to leave or do something

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Repeatedly denying permission to leave or do something

(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go
Calling out to someone while asking for permission to leave or do something

Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me, for me, for me!
Claiming that something bad is happening or will happen to the artist

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
Questioning one's own ability to handle adversity

So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Questioning why someone would pretend to love and care for someone else, only to hurt them

Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Pleading with someone to not hurt or abandon the artist

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Feeling a strong desire to leave or escape

Nothing really matters
Realizing that nothing is truly important

Anyone can see
Everyone is able to see or understand

Any way the wind blows
Not being concerned about which way things happen or turn out
