i think this song is a pre-"show must go on". a sort of final statement of his life as rockstar. he feels near his end and wants to answer a question, that will name the song.
probably i'm wrong, because when we try to figure out the meaning of a Queen song we often tend to confuse Freddie with Queen... moreover this song (and the entire album is copyrighted by QUEEN). but:
i suppose that Freddie realized he'd contracted HIV between 1987 and 1989, i.e. the years when Queen are should have worked and composed "the Miracle" (published in may 1989).
if you look at the photos in this LP and compare them with the ones of ANY another previous LP, you'll see how Freddie has become thin (right?).
these are the reason why i think this song represents a pre-showmustgoon.
i hope my english (and point of view!) will be understood.
