Reviews for Under Pressure Lyrics

Hey "endwageslavery", in case you haven't noticed, America has never EVER been a completely capitalist society and has been moving further and further away from that ideal for decades. Our government has way too much power right now, trying to dictate to us citizens how to live, think, and spend our money. Further, if you don't like your "slavemaster", quit your job, start your own business, or move to a more socialist country

If there as ever a truth to be found in this life it's right here in this song. people no longer love because they aren't willing to care, and that is breaking us apart as a society as humanity.we need to stop thinking only of ourselves and think
of everyone. if we cared more for everyone there wouldn't be loneliness nor depression. and the things that bother us, big and small, would be no more
it's amazing how people hear but never listen

They need to play this song in therapy for addicts and those who suffer from depression and anxiety. I had forgotten that this was my theme song and it came back to me while in an inpatient facility. It helped me start figuring things out. Why don't we give love? Why don't we give ourselves one more chance? End of the song says A LOT if you think about it.

Please see the High Definition video of them in concert doing 'Under Pressure'. It's epic. This Kelly chick sounds like bad news. It would be fitting if she read these comments and reflected on her idiocy, and maybe got a little depressed.

LOVE :D

I suffer from major depression and anxiety. This song is a very good description of how I feel most of the time. I feel overwhelmed by a great deal of pressure that evey day life places on me. I believe that more people suffer from these types of disorders today than ever before due to the fast paced, ever growing demand for money and political correctness. I imagine life to be much harder to live in the early years of America, but in a physical perspective. Today our lives are bombarded by mentally exhausting and overwhelming pressure. Kudos to the writer(s) of this song as they obviously have life experience as well as an awesome artistic ability to put this very real emotion into words.

Some people think that this song makes no sense.
That's wrong.
This song is about how the world has gone to a hell in a handbasket!

"it's a terror of knowing what this work is about"


Great song!!

One of the best songs by any band. It seems to be about what a tragic and horrible place the world is and how capitalism is destroying our lives, making human beings into just machines of production. Watch the music video and you can't help but notice the footage from the Great Depression. It's in the video for a reason.

"The terror of knowing what this world is about" is the terror of knowing how insignificant we are to the bourgeoisie and the knowing what a horrible, heartless, satanic economic system capitalist wage slavery really is.

"Love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves", meaning to truly love your fellow human beings you have to realise that our fates are all intertwined instead of being selfish and that the success of a society and the progress of a society can truly be measured in how close it is to the ideal of every baby starting out with the same good opportunity. Instead of caring only about me me me and how much wealth can I amass we have to change what we care about, change the way we feel and change how we interact with each other. A brilliant and very deep song.

First off, I don't think artists wright 'bout themselves, there pretty much pointing out issues that some are blind to. If it would be 'bout them, they'd probably point out to how dumbed down humanity is, nobody would be buyin' records that point out to how wrong they are. And second, why would freddie be hiding in song??? I don't think that he's ashamed of the things some seem to feel ashamed about. He knows who he outta be, and doesn't need to talk it out like so many. Well, I guess some just see things in a different way, and some see it how it is. Anyhow, great duet by two incredibly, down to earth, talented heart felt people.

good god, this song is amazing. Freddy and Bowie make one hell of a team. Freddy's falsetto and bowie's rich baritone mix together to create one of the greatest songs of all time. the lyrics are amazing and filled with emotion. this is #1 on my top ten songs of all time. Rest in piece Freddy Mercury.

While this is not my most favorite Queen song, that would belong to Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to Love, the lyrics are very profound. To all the naysayers that proclaim Freddie is singing about gay love, I am ashamed that in todays day and age that we still have the same concerns that we had when this song came out almost 30 years ago. Have we made no progress? Take the song for what it is. A beautiful moment in time performed by two of the most iconic voices in the history of popular music. I was (and am to this day) deeply saddened by the passing of Freddie Mercury, but so glad that he shared his wonderful talents and voice with us. There will never be anyone to compare.

This song is about how messed up this world has become and the difficulty with having to be under the pressure of being forced to deal with it. The "Screaming 'let me out line'" as Kelly forgot to meantion was coming from his friends, this is a suicide reference, f.y.I. The song really isn't so hard to decipher. You just have to put yourself in the mind of a rock musician who could really care less about all your politics and laws, you'll see similar mind opening words coming from many different songs if you really just listen

This is quite possibly the best song as in shivers up your spine and a tear is the eye . Everytime I hear this one on the radio I stop what I am doing , turn up the volume and give the song the attention it deserves.

lol. some people (like a person called "Kelly" in below) are pretty idiot enough to see everything as a gay, especially if it's made by homosexual/bisexual people. This song is not about homosexuality, NONE of Queen's songs are. Especially, Freddie didn't came out closet in 1981. He stated it in 70s.... and this song, it's masterpiece. best duet ever!

The shakyness is meant to be there.... I am very young about 14, This Queen will always live in my heart forever. This song is one of my favorites but Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite, we will miss you Freddie! R.I.P

The viewer ratings of World's Greatest Dad and its availability on Netflix' Instant Play in the same year of the movie's release had be wondering if I should see it. Not only was it a wonderfully quirky, well-acted, meaningful work, but then they put in Under Pressure to emphasize William's character's epiphany. Perfect!
