QUEEN: LYRICS AND POETRY
by Grant M.
How does Queen use poetry in their songs?
For example.....
In the song "Bohemian Rhapsody" they use poetry in these lines.
"Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low"
He means in his first line that when he's given something he doesn't care much about it and if he looses that thing he could care less.
Also when he says....
"To late, my time has come
Sent shivers down my spine
Body's aching all time"
He is using personification, because time can't really send shivers down your spine.
Another example is when he says.....
"I see a little silhouetto of a man."
He means he sees a man's shadow.
