'39
Queen/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the days when lands were few
Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day
And the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
Ne'er looked back, never feared, never cried
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavily weigh
For the earth is old and grey, little darling, we'll away
But my love, this cannot be
Oh, so many years have gone though I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away?
Don't you hear me calling you?
Write your letters in the sand for the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Don't you hear my call though you're many years away?
Don't you hear me calling you?
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life
Still ahead
Pity me
'39 by Queen is a melancholic song about space travel, hope, and love. The song depicts a group of volunteers sailing into space in the year of 1939, when there were only a few pieces of land available. The beginning of the song superbly captures the excitement of discovery and the optimism of a new world. The lyrics talk about the brave souls who looked forward and never looked back, who never feared or cried. The song is poetic, describing space as the "milky seas," and the journey as "ne'er looked back."
The chorus is particularly poignant, as the singer calls out to his loved one, asking if she can hear him from a world so far away. They write "letters in the sand" and imagine a world that their grandchildren will know, a world that is not yet real but that they hope to create. The second verse talks about the volunteers returning home with news of a newly born world, but their hearts are heavy with the burden of the old and grey planet that they left behind. They express the sadness of leaving a world that is dying and the hopefulness of starting anew.
Overall, the song is a metaphor for hope and the human desire for exploration and discovery. The song's message transcends space travel and speaks to the heart of our need for hope to carry us through difficult times. The song's poetry and melody make it both beautiful and haunting, capturing the wide range of emotions that the characters feel.

All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
Your letters in the sand cannot provide the comfort that holding your hand would
For my life still ahead
Because I still have a life ahead of me
Pity me
Have compassion on me

"Set Fire To The Rain"
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark, and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they were strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
But there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better
'Cause there's a side to you
That I never knew, never knew
All the things you'd say
They were never true, never true
And the games you'd play
You would always win, always win
But I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!
Sometimes I wake up by the door
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now, when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you
I set fire to the rain
Watched it pour as I touched your face
Well, it burned while I cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When it fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time, oh!
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn

Close my eyes, feel you here forever
You and me together, nothing is better

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name
Your name
I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
When we fell, something died
'Cause I knew that that was the last time
The last time, oh
Oh, no
Let it burn, oh-oh-oh
Let it burn
Let it burn
