Bohemian Rhapsody- What Does It Really Mean?

A lot of people know about the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, but do they know what it's really about? A lot of people would say it's about a guy who killed a man and tells his mom.  Some people think it's about a guy's mom who frames his son for killing a man (what an evil mom). Freddie Mercury is the one who knows for sure, but he never told anyone and now he's gone. Part of the greatness of the song though is that no one really knows what it means. Queen has sworn to never tell the meaning of any of their songs. We may never know what it really means, but the not-knowing makes the song 20% cooler.
Brian May said in an interview that if everyone knew what the song Bohemian Rhapsody meant, it would lose some of its meaning and wouldn't be as good. (Paraphrase)

Or as I always say, "If I actually listened to the lyrics of this song closely, it might have some sort of deeper meaning to it."

This is the 1975 album that the song Bohemian Rhapsody appeared on.
If you want to take a look at the song yourself, I have the lyrics below to help you figure out the meaning.


If you think you know what it means, please comment below. I want to see what other people think.
