In this song the music enhances the lyrical meaning. My interpretation is that the protagonist in this song (given a voice by Freddie Mercury) has committed a murder and is reeling from the realization of his crimes (music slowly builds as he becomes more and more distraught), then he has to stand trial for the crime (frantic music accompanies this to show the stress and uncertainty the protagonist is going through), and finally he gets angry with the result of the trial and lashes out (loud guitar illustrating the outburst) before finally realizing he has to serve his sentence and comes to terms with it, more or less.
