FFMS is easy – it just describes a painting by Richard Dadd. Nonsense, but beautiful.
MOTBQ is very difficult to interprete, the meaning is clear I think (man enslaved to woman and his struggle to come to terms with her), but in detail it's a kind of a riddle. I found a very interesting essay abouzt the lyrics on a website that's not available anymore. Here's the text (in two parts because it's too long):

MARCH OF THE BLACK QUEEN
The song "March Of The Black Queen" forms sort of a couple with the song "White Queen". Both songs are from the same album, Queen II. This album is well known for its White Side (featuring among others White Queen) and its Black Side (featuring March Of The Black Queen), as opposed to the usual A and B sides. White Queen was written by Brian May, and like we are somewhat used from Brian this song is about the sad end of a relationship. It is beyond the scope of analysing March Of The Black Queen to completely analyse White Queen as well, but the main point here is that White Queen is about a wonderful relationship that sadly ends. Written by Freddie Mercury, in March Of The Black Queen we see the opposite: the relationship is far from wonderful, yet it continues. This song is much more sarcastic, and has another unusual aspect: usually, when a song is about a bad relationship, it is the man who is being the bad guy. Not here: the song tells about the power that a certain woman have with regard to her man, and all the stupid things that this man does to please his woman.
Note: I assume that Freddie meant this text to be taken with a grain of salt. Please read this analysis in a similar way ;-)
Do you mean it
Do you mean it
Do you mean it
Why don't you mean it
Why do I follow you and where do you go
The man is asking himself whether his love really means all the things she does and tells. These can be either good things (causing him not to trust her, considering the circumstances we will later find out about) or bad things (making him ask why she is behaving so awful to him). He wonders why he is still running after her, while he has no idea what she is up to and where this relationship is taking him. He is blinded by love, and although his common sense tells him to think a bit more about himself, he keeps following her.
You've never seen nothing like it no never in your life
Like going up to heaven and then coming back alive
Let me tell you all about it -
And the world will so allow it
The man continues, trying to explain his mixed feelings. At first sight, it seems like the comparison to heaven is to show how beautiful love is. However, keeping the overall thought of the song in mind, I think we should see the "going up to heaven" as death, as a metaphor for a very bad thing. Then, "coming back to life" would be the opposite. In other words: it's ups and downs in love. This continues in the next lines:
Oooh give me a little time to choose
Water babies singing in a lily-pool delight
Blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night
The man has to choose whether or not he wants to continue the relationship. On one side, there is this wonderful woman, who is poetically compared to water babies singing in a lily-pool delight. Try to imagine little pieces of water (a nice spring rain!) falling into a pool filled with lilies: now isn't that a delight? On the other side, there are the blue powder monkeys praying in the dead of night. "Powder monkey" is a slang expression for a person who carries or sets explosives (the word comes from old navigation, where it was a boy employed on war vessels to carry gunpowder). A "blue powder monkey" would then be a sad person (as in "having the blues") whose mind is in an explosive state. He's praying in the dead of night for all of this to end. The man has to choose which of these two options he prefers in the way he sees himself
I like to listen to the song as they give releaf from stress and give rest to our brain from overthinking. I have listened to this song and I don’t know about this information before thank for this proofreading services now I know a lot of detail about this song and the writer name.
I needed to thank you for this incredible read!! I unquestionably adored each and every piece of it. I have you bookmarked your site to look at the new stuff you post. https://royalcbd.com/ohio/
