Who Wants To Live Forever
Queen [www.musikaki.blog.br] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever . . .?
Oh ooo oh
There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever
Ooh
Who dares to love forever
Oh oo woh, when love must die

But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever
Forever is our today

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever




Forever is our today
Who waits forever anyway?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Queen's song Who Wants to Live Forever describe the fleeting nature of life and the perseverance of love. The song begins by lamenting the fact that time and space seem to be working against us. The dreams we hold onto so tightly slip away all too quickly. Despite this, the chorus asks the haunting question, "Who wants to live forever?", suggesting that even though life is short, we still yearn for immortality.


The second verse further reinforces this sadness by acknowledging that all of our fates seem to be predetermined. Despite this, there is still a single moment of sweetness in life that we must savor. The song then takes an unexpected turn, asking who dares to love forever when love is inevitably destined to die. However, the touching bridge brings a message of hope, suggesting that even though our time on this earth is limited, we can still touch each other's lives in meaningful ways. The final chorus repeats the title question, seemingly leaving it to the listener to answer.

Yes every Queen fan knows this and we all love to brag about Freddie's talent and we know that the song is written by Bri and we know that Roger and Deacy were a GIANT part if Queen Deacy claimed he couldn't sing but when I heard him sing it sounds good Roger and Brian sometimes sang songs and Freddie has that wonderful amazing voice and amazing piano skills and he played guitar a little.

The songs I say were most successful by each member:

Fred- Bohemian Rhapsody

Bri- We Will Rock You

Rog- Radio GaGa

Deacy- Another One Bites The Dust
