Queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'd sit alone and watch your light
My only friend through teenage nights
And everything I had to know
I heard it on my radio

You gave them all those old time stars
Through wars of worlds invaded by Mars
You made 'em laugh, you made 'em cry
You made us feel like we could fly

So don't become some background noise
A backdrop for the girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there

You had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio, everybody!

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you

We watch the shows, we watch the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our ears
How music changes through the years

Let's hope you never leave, old friend
Like all good things, on you we depend
So stick around 'cause we might miss you
When we grow tired of all this visual

Had your time, you had the power
You've yet to have your finest hour
Radio

All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio goo goo
Radio ga ga
All we hear is radio ga ga
Radio blah blah
Radio, what's new?
Radio, someone still loves you





Loves
You

Overall Meaning

The song "Radio Ga Ga" is a melancholic tribute to the fading relevance of radio in an imagined era of video and visual stimulation. It presents a nostalgic view of radio by recalling the times when it was the primary source of entertainment, the "old friend" who was always there, providing music, news, and stories to its listeners. The opening lines convey a sense of comfort and companionship that the radio provided during the lonely nights of adolescence. The following verses talk about the role of radio in shaping the popular culture by introducing iconic personalities, invoking a sense of wonder about the universe, and expressing emotions through music. The pre-chorus and chorus sections convey a warning against the possibility of radio fading away into a background noise as modern technology offers more visually appealing options to the audience. The song ends on a hopeful note, with a reminder that radio still has a place in people's hearts, that someone still loves it.
