I’ve always wondered this…especially since the subject range of the lyrics is so broad and seemingly very random. He obviously would put a minimal amount of thought into these lyrics, so they must mean something to him. Of course, we’ll probably never truly know because he never told us directly. (You can listen to the song here.)
This is what Mercury once said: “I think people should just listen to it, think about it, and then make up their own minds as to what it says to them…’Bohemian Rhapsody’ didn’t just come out of thin air. I did a bit of research although it was tongue-in-cheek and mock opera. Why not?”
Do you have any interpretations of this song? Any perspectives on specific lyrics? What is “Bismillah” and “Beezelbub” and “Scaramouche”? What does “Galileo” have to do with anything? Am I asking too many questions?
