Liar

I totally disagree. The song isnt supposto be centerd so much on lying as it is on sinning in general, "liar" is just the accusitory name used. Look at the lyics. Freddie comes tentatively and remosfally to confess to sins in his heart to a "father", repenting and asking for forgiveness and help and to be "let in". but in turn to this, hes met with accusation (LIAR) and condenation, no matter how much he beggs "father, please forgive me, I know youll never leave me, please will you direct me, in the right way?" its really a song about Freddie feeling overwheledly guilty and then feeling, at the same time, unforgiable and unnacceplable by God or some sort of higher power. Its obvious, and its so, so sad.

a graceful song about the importance of your relatives, that you will quit because you are not sinless but not a liar.

Basically a 'boy who cried wolf' type tale. They have lied so many times, no one is willing to listen. The person accepts that they have done wrong, but they also long to tell someone something without it being dismissed immediately as untrue.

i agree. i think this is my favorite guitar works in this here song. Liar I have sailed the seas Liar from Mars to Mercury Liar I have drunk the wine Liar time after time Liar you're lying to me Liar you're lying to me

its his tales he told so many times, and noone believes him

Mama I'm gonna try behave All day long Mama I'm gonna be your slave All day long I'm gonna serve you till your dying day All day long I'm gonna keep you till your dying day All day long I'm gonna kneel down by your side and pray he begs for forgivness so that he would never lie again. the ending shows the moral of the story.

Nice one freddieismyqueen, I think you've got it bang on.

Absolutely brilliant song with some class guitar. One of Queen's best. freddieismyqueen's right but I'm not fussed about the meaning - its a class song!

So Bohemian Rhapsody like, yet...not... *^^

This song is basically bout a person hu's lies have finally caught up 2 him...just lyk most ppl in this world... *><

Watever it means, THIS SONG ROCKS!!

This song is great!!! The guitar multi-tracking (which Brian was famous for) is amazing!! And the song has cool little bass solo in it! I'm not too fussed about what the song's about, it's just a really cool song!!!

This is like having two different voices in you're head. I think the concept is Freddie having conflicting thoughts, he is wanting to confess his sins, but the shouting voice is saying "Liar" almost like a voice in his head accusing him. I think it is this voice that wins out over his own confession and asking for help, as you can see from the end of the song. It is a really aazing concept, I think it is supposed to be a similar concept to Eminem's "Guilty Conscience," with the two voices inside you arguing.

Did you know that the intro to Liar was played at Wembley '86? It's played between Seven Seas of Rhye and Tear It Up, or as an intro to Tear It Up I'm not to sure.
