Queen: In the Lap of the Gods Meaning
In the Lap of the Gods Lyrics
It's so easy but I can't do it

The song is about Freddie’s struggle with wanting to be a performer while his father wanted him to be an accountant. “it’s so easy, but I can’t do it” (being an accountant), “It’s so risky, but I’ve got to chance it” (becoming a performer), “I can’t be what you want me to be, but I’m no fool, it’s in the lap of the gods” Whatever happens, his future will be decided by the gods of fate.

I recognized it to be Freddie crying out as he needed to come out which is sad because of the times in which he lived.
