Bohemian Rhapsody
Guns and Roses & Elton John Lyrics

Is this the real life?
Questioning whether the current situation is real or not.

Is this just fantasy?
Asking if the current situation is a dream or not.

Caught in a landslide
Being trapped in a difficult situation.

No escape from reality
Feeling helpless and unable to get out of the situation.

Open your eyes
Encouraging the listener to see the situation clearly.

Look up to the skies and see
Asking the listener to see the bigger picture.

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Stating that the singer is not looking for pity.

Because I'm easy come, easy go
Explaining that the artist's life is unpredictable.

A little high, little low
Describing the artist's emotional state.

Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me
Saying that the artist does not know what his future holds.

Mama, just killed a man
Admitting to a murder.

Put a gun against his head
Describing how the murder was committed.

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Describing how the gun was fired.

Mama, life had just begun
Realizing that the singer has taken a life and his life has now changed.

But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Feeling regretful for his actions.

Didn't mean to make you cry
Apologizing for hurting his mother's feelings.

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Expressing the possibility of getting caught or killed by the authorities.

Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters
Encouraging others to continue living their lives despite the singer's absence.

Too late, my time has come
Realizing that his fate is already sealed.

Sends shivers down my spine
A feeling of fear and anxiety.

Body's aching all the time
Suffering from physical pain due to the stress of the situation.

Goodbye everybody I've got to go
Saying farewell to those around him.

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Acknowledging the consequences of his actions and the need to face them.

I see a little silhouetto of a man
Seeing a small figure in the distance.

Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Asking the figure if he can dance the fandango.

Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Being afraid of a storm that is happening.

Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Figaro - magnifico
Saying the names of famous people and enjoying their sound and rhythm.

He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Describing the artist's background and upbringing.

Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Asking for mercy on behalf of the artist.

Easy come easy go will you let me go
Asking for permission to leave the situation.

Bismillah! No we will not let you go - let him go
Refusing to let the singer go and asking for his life to be spared.

Will not let you go let me go (never)
Insisting on being able to leave the situation.

Never let you go let me go
Again asking to be released from the situation.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Continuously refusing to let the artist go.

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Pleading to be set free.

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
Acknowledging that while he will be punished, others who are responsible for the situation will also face consequences.

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
Challenging those who have wronged him.

So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Accusing those who were supposed to care for him of abandoning him.

Oh baby can't do this to me baby
Expressing pain and sadness at the way he was treated.

Just gotta get out just gotta get right outta here
Feeling a strong urge to leave the situation.

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Exclaiming in agreement or excitement.

Nothing really matters
Realizing that nothing he has ever done or will do truly matters.

Anyone can see
Acknowledging that this fact is obvious to others as well.

Nothing really matters nothing really matters to me
Feeling jaded and uninterested in the world around him.

Anyway the wind blows
Acknowledging that his future is still uncertain and he will go wherever life takes him.
