Who Wants To Live Forever Lyrics
There's no time for us
There's no place for us What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us Who wants to live forever? (twice) There's no chance for us It's all decided for us This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us Who wants to live forever? (twice) Who dares to love forever When love must die? But touch my tears with your lips Touch my world with your fingertips And we can have forever And we can love forever Forever is ours today Who wants to live forever Who wants to live forever Forever is ours today Who waits forever anyway?

It sounds like a kind of romeo & Juliet kind of situation "There's no time for us"+"It's all decided for us
" and "This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us" (suicide)
I heard a version of this song where Brian May did all the vocals, and I actually think he sings it better than Freddy. Great Song either way.

let's see it is from the HIghlander, so considering it's about immortals... with the love theme? lets be somewhat logical.

It sounds like a person that someone loves incredibly is about to pass away. And in the beginning of the song, Freddy states their emotions in words:
"There's no time for us
There's no place for us "
In other words, it's all over. They will depart each other and never be together again.
He then sings: "What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away
from us(?)"
And the answer that I think of is HOPE. He feels that hope has, in a sense, left them.
He is saying in the lines:
"There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us "
in my opinion, that the end is now near for the one he loves or the person loving him. They only have a "moment" to spend with each other and to love each other before the person passes away.
Then he asks again, "who want's to live forever?" and then "who dares to love forever?" I think he is saying, that we cannot live forever, obviously, but would dare to say that you could love someone forever when you know that they are going to die?
He stresses this point when he says, "and love must die".
But there is a way to love and be with that person forever. He says: "But touch my tears with your lips
Touch my world with your fingertips
And we can have forever
And we can love forever "
By spending the last few moments together and not worrying about death, but instead concentrating on the love between you and that person, you can have "forever"
He says, "Forever is ours today" meaning, today, the last moments that I spend with you is ours forever.
But then he says, rather abdruptly at the end, "Who waits forever anyway?" I take this to mean, that the end has come and although "forever is ours today", reality has set in and death is as real as it has always been.
THe song, to me, is about loving someone that is about to die. It could be about a Romeo and Juliet style love/dying, but I like to look at it differently. THe reality is that we all love or will love someone that is about to die or is dying.
Freddy, of course, knew this well. I am sure he loved many people and knowing you are going to die has to have an affect on you and the people that love you.
Regardless of it's meaning, it is an absolute beautiful song, musically, lyrically and vocally.
Peace.

This is a great song. I saw Michael Falzon and Kate Hoolihan sing this song in the Melbourne production of We Will Rock You, and it was just gorgeous.

Both this and Show must go on were written by Brian May, not freddie Mercury, not to mention this was 1986 and Show must go on is 1991
