blows': it just doesn't really matter any more he has accepted his fate. What is so hard about the lyrics? They are there and are easily interpreted. Brian says that he knows basically what Freddie was saying and in that it is obvious that it was not the lyrics that were important in Bohemian Rhapsody, but the structure and expression of the music. To read the lyrics and to interpret them as some sort of revelation into Freddie's home life is foolish at best and derisive at worst. Freddie himself hasn't 'killed a man' just like John doesn't really want to 'break free', Roger isn't really in love with his car and Brian wasn't really taught by his naughty nanny. Freddie's music is an entity in itself: the lyrics, the rhythm, the structure, the music and the way it is played all join together to create the song. Bohemian Rhapsody isn't about the lyrics, it is about the song in toto. In this case, it is a blend of different forms of music, of different cultures it rises high and sinks low, it weaves about the mind of the listener and the protagonist, taking both on a journey through the song. The music, like all his music, is a personal statement, but one which simply says: 'I am me and I know who I am and where I am and I don't give a hang about what may come.'

This is the theme of Freddie that is in his music: a man who exists and lives for the moment, a man who is passionate, yet gentle, caring, yet dominating. Bohemian Rhapsody works because it doesn't tell us anything about Freddie in its lyrics, but it is Freddie and it is his soul talking to us through the music.
