I have read that this song is related to Freddie's relationship with his parents. Apparently his parents, specially his mother, weren't supportive of his musical career in the beginning (I can see what you want me to be) and doubted that Freddie was going to be able to make a living out of it (My money that's all you want to talk about). By the end of the song he has made up his mind (There's no meaning in my pretending, Believe me life goes on and on and on) and leaves everything to fate and sets himself free from his parent's opinions in order to pursue his musical career.
@smichelini Some good points. The only problem is that It would not be in the lap of the gods, and he would be making a chose. Seems like it's a contract problem to me. But if you read that, I understand why you would believe that

@SilverBeat I think what Freddy meant in "the lap of the gods" is that the musical career itself is very risky since he could have not made success as their parents warned him
