Some think it's about a relationship, others think it's about Freddie coming out to his mother, and some don't even realize there's lyrics before the headbanging part. :]
If anyone really knows, it's his mother, sister, or band-mates. And the chances of any of them telling are very slim to none.

I hear Brian knows, but isn't gonna tell. It will forever remain a mystery. But I think its better that way. 3nodding

Oh, totally. Some things are meant to remain a mystery. Some things are ruined once you know the truth. -nods-

Roger admits to being the only living person who knows what the song is really about. He said, more or less, that the premise of the song is fairly obvious, with "a bit of nonsense in the middle". 3nodding

Figures Roger would know. xd Frogger!
But what might be obvious to the British is pretty much lost on Americans... I have my ideas, though. whee

arielphotort yea. I would hate to find out that the song is acutally about a pet turtle eating cheese and nothing at all to do with a juicy secret of some sort. sweatdrop I dunno. If it was about a cheese eating pet turtle, that would be pretty cool. Still, I suppose you can't really beat juicy secrets.

i think the last part of the song is pretty easy to understand... that bit definitely seems to be about a bad relationship. The first bit could be a weird metaphor for said bad relationship, but the opera part... who knows? Why is Scaramouche in there? (Scaramouche, for those who don't know, is a character from the old Italian commedia del'arte, where the name was used for a character who liked to talk about how tough he was, but was really a big softy. He (yes, he) was usually an ex-soldier... but the name was usually spelled "Scaramouch." Scaramouche actually shows up as misspelled on the spell check, but Scaramouch does not... [/tangent.] Also, another interesting note on the lyrics- "Bohemian Rhapsody" and other songs by Queen were allowed to be played in Afghanistan under the old regime, because of the word "Bismillah." It's an Islamic address for Allah... its presence in the song confuses me...
Too bad Roger isn't talking.

Have you guys ever thought about the Bismillah part of the song? The part where it frequently changes between high and low chorus parts. I read somewhere that the "He's just a poor boy from a poor family, spare him his life from this monstrosity" part is basically "heaven" trying to get him saved, whereas the "Bismillah, no, we will not let you go" part is the forces of "hell."
It's interesting because of the "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" line. razz Just something to ponder, at least. It's similar to a technique used in old hymns where they like make the highest note fall on "Lord" or something like that. I personally find it quite interesting if Freddie thought to portray good and evil in that manner.
