| Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
From the BBC Rock band Queen, fronted by gay icon Freddie Mercury, has become the first rock act to receive an official seal of approval in Iran. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3593532.stm In that article its said.. "The cassette, ... comes complete with translated lyrics and an explanatory leaflet. It tells Queen fans that Bohemian Rhapsody is about a young man who has accidentally killed someone and, like Faust, sold his soul to the devil." But I think this song relates to what Freddy may have faced if he was to have homosexual acts in Iran which is punishable by death(Although there is a fatwa that if a person feels trapped inside a different gender, then he or she can appear as the opposite sex, which is the only way gays in Iran can live). I think the man he kills may have been his partner which they have both been caught and one executed. "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" Here the Fandango could be a dance of lovers and forbidden sex acts.. and he proclaims that like Galileo who was condemned by the faith for his search of truth in science, he believes that his sexual relations are also of true nature. Bismilah "So you think you can stop 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," In the name of god, you want to stone me for my acts!? |

like someone said earlier, watch the music video. the era of hippies and the Vietnam war. to me this song is about young soldiers. the parents sell their kid for food. the weather is the everyday propaganda changing moods. spring is here... a new generation for war. and he, the soldier, likes the same pretty music as you and i, he likes to sing along, he like to shoot his gun, but he does not know the meaning of the values. nature is a whore to produce precious life every generation. the young soldier is bruised by war at his tendar age. the pretty songs the hippies listen to hold values and peace. but the soldier does not know what it means. in the video, 330 in, distorted guitar chords are played... Jimi Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8rHPIm6qjU http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3222428405488271724 |

| The Rolling Stones – Sympathy for the Devil Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
i think this song is about the devil possessing ones body and it goes thru the devils work throughout history 1 Pilate, governor of the Roman Judaea, was a person who was possessed, possibly payed, to order jesus christs crucifixion (i personally believe this was because jesus was against usury and material things) 2 the devil had the czar and his ministers killed because it wanted to create the u.n. 3-4 he played armies in the world wars by funding both sides to gain more power and control 5 kennedy was a troubadour (if you know his real famous speech) and wanting to expose the devil that got him killed before he reached the masses (bombay) 6 every cop is criminal because they keep the devils law some know of zog, and i feel every one of us in the "democracies" is contributing to the devils plan to rule the world there is sympathy for us because we are not aware or are just players who who? you you Arash |

when i first heard this sont i thought it was political or more i wanted it to be political... i like how someone earlier said it was about how facism is still in control. anyway i think the real meaning of the song is about homosexuality it applies nicely to all the lyrics and how the song is about one person talking to himself "We spoke of was and when Although I wasn't there" here this is him doing something gay in the past and secretly not being there "I thought you died alone A long long time ago" maybe him repressing his gay feeling in the past but it coming back "I searched for form and land" he searches for form as if male or female and land , exsample-> san francisco or a town where gays are excepted "I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here We must have died along, a long long time ago" i also this this song does have double meaning in a way of biblical times and also remarks on the millions of gays who die alone. women or men who are kept in the closet and arent with the same sex of lover. "Who knows? not me We never lost control You're face to face With the Man who Sold the World " here he is talking to him self saying were still gay and we fooled the world as to being straight. i came to this conclusion after reading that bowie is bisexual on wikipedia and his album cover of him being in a dress it would be a tripp if kurt was gay altho i dont encourage gayness i think its natures way of keeping population control |
