Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
As if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo
Gallileo, Gallileo
Gallileo Figaro, magnifico
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (let him go)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (let him go)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (let me go)
Never, never, never let you go, never let me go
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby
Can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
(Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen is one of the most well-known and renowned songs in rock history. It's a six-minute rock-opera that showcases the different parts of the song, as well as its author's diverse musical styles. The song tells a story of a young man (the singer) who informs his mother that he had just killed a man and, as a result, has lost everything he has ever known. The singer begs for retribution, but ultimately decides to accept his fate and face the consequences of his actions.
The opening lines of the song express the singer's guilt and the fear of facing the consequences of his actions. He tells his mother that he "just killed a man" and begs for forgiveness. The singer is aware that he has made a mistake and that his actions cannot be undone. He also knows that his mother will be upset, which is why he says "didn't mean to make you cry." Despite the regret he feels, he understands that what he has done cannot be undone and repeats that "nothing really matters."
The chorus of the song briefly touches on the singer's desire to live, but then returns to his awareness of death. The singer has no intention of dying, but he knows that his time has come and that he must face his fate. The last line, "I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all," is a reflection of his regret about his actions and the resulting consequences that he must face.

Lyrics,
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go, little high, little low
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh, didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro, magnifico
But I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
No, we will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let him go)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ
We will not let you go (let me go)
Will not let you go (let me go)
Never, never, never, never let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia
Mamma mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Ooh
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

Seek God. It's not about religion, it's not about rituals, it's not about hypocrisy, or about a cheap philosophy of life. It is about communion with God Himself, Creator of all existing things, from the smallest atom to the biggest star. Everything has the hand of God. I know that few will read this message, and even fewer people will be impacted by it, but if you've read this far, I heartily advise you to seek the Lord, who died for you, took the guilt of your sins, and is willing to forgive and accept you, regardless of who you are, or what you've done. I say this as someone who is passionate about astronomy and who was once both skeptical and agnostic. It's your decision! You have the free will to do whatever you want!
