Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
The lyrics to Queen's "Who Wants To Live Forever" express the fleeting nature of life and love, as well as the desire to hold onto them for as long as possible. The song questions why we bother to dream when everything is so temporary and what is the point of living forever when love ultimately ends in death. The first verse expresses the sorrow of losing dreams and the uncertainty of time and space. The chorus asks who wants to live forever, and it is repeated twice as if to emphasize the question.
The second verse speaks of life being predetermined and only having one sweet moment set aside for us, suggesting a certain fatalism. The second chorus asks who dares to love forever when love always ends in death, highlighting the tragedy of love's impermanence. However, the final verse provides hope. The singer asks the listener to touch their tears with their lips and their world with their fingertips, suggesting that love and connection can transcend mortality. The final chorus proclaims that forever is our today and questions who waits forever anyway, challenging the listener to live in the present and treasure what time they have.
Overall, "Who Wants To Live Forever" is a haunting and poignant meditation on life, loss, and love. It acknowledges the inevitability of death but suggests that love is the one thing that can outlive it.

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
