If you want to find meaning, don’t force it – wait for it

Whenever Freddie Mercury – late singer of British band Queen – was asked about the meaning behind the band’s huge 1974 hit Bohemian Rhapsody, he would frustrate interviewers with vague responses. Often, he would say the song “means whatever you want it to mean”; other times, he would say it’s “about relationships”. Those looking for a definitive explanation behind the timeless classic always came away empty-handed.
