Open your eyes, look up to the sky and see...
Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy, i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, dosnt really matter to me,
To me
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now hes dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on, carry on, as if nothing really matters-
Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo, galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no-
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-
Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters- nothing really matters to me,
Any way the wind blows....
I dont listen to this song very often. Which is kinda weird, coz i love it, but...i dunno. I guess it just puts me in a wierd mood, and i cant handle that all the time. But i was watching somthing on tv the other day about makin the video for it, and its been stuck in my head ever since. Anyway! Ive been listening to it, and thinking about what it means, which is always kinda a trap i think because what it means to you is never gonna be the same as what it means to the person who wrote it, right? But thats not relly important. Most of the time id rather know what i think about then what they think about it, coz tryin to get into somone elses head is pretty hard and can drive you CRAZY if you try to hard.
But lots of people seem to wonder about this song in particlar. So...heres my thoughts on it, i guess. Haha!
Sometimes its a real depresing song. I reckon a lot of interpretation comes from how your feeling at the time, and its also kinda why it tends to change over time, if that makes sense. Like...your not the same person you were yesterday, so the song sounds diferent. It means somthing diferent. A lot of people i know find Bohemin Rhapsody relly sad, and i guess its easy to take that way. I mean, 'somtimes wish id never been born at all'...thats pretty depresing right?
I dunno. I always kinda got the feeling that the whole song was kinda...whats the phrase? Tounge in cheek. Like he was taking a bit of a shot at himself, or somthing. And...'is this the real life, is this just fantasy'...i think maybe he was setting us all up, relly. Is the song about real life? Or is it just fantasy? But then, all fantastys gotta have a root in raelity. Theres always gotta be a link. So it makes me sad to think that...that sombodys been feeling bad enough about themselves to write stuff like this. But then theres 'artistic lisense' or whatver, too, so some of its bound to be exageration, right? Well maybe not. Maybe somone feels bad enough about life that theyd rather it all just ended. I dont realy understand that, myself, but i can understand the...motive, or something. About being down enough that seems too hard to get back up again. Maybe thats why i dont listen to it that often...its too easy to let music just own you, and if i listened to somthing like this all the time i might get stuck. I dont want that.
But the line 'any way the wind blows doesnt really matter to me'? I like that line. I like it a lot. Even if its part of the sad bit, i think its kinda hopeful, in a way. Or..well, maybe thats just me. But...yeah. It dosnt really matter which way the wind blows, does it? Coz you can either try and fight it, or you can go with the flow and see where it takes you. Maybe its better that way. Maybe its worse. But somtimes you just gotta take that leap of faith.
