This is a part of the song Love of My Life by the Queen
You will remember when this is blown over,
And everything's all by the way,
blown over, that probably means like when it is over
but what does "EVerything's all by the way" MEAN?
thanks
Hi, ryunin. You're right on "blown over." It means when it has ended, like a storm that has "blown over" and is now gone. "Everything's all by the way" means much the same. Whatever has been has now been laid by the wayside (another storm-related metaphor) and no longer matters.
Everything's, "All-by-the-way" : Everything's casual, laid back.
The storm has blown over, life is back to normal and the present crisis is ho-hum, "Oh, by the way, you remember when....."
Thank you, I am going to do this song with students today.
