10 years later for me, bitches be drowning my music, fell far from the tree, I never knew or seen Ronnie James in person, but his music made me feel like I could persevere through anything, and I plan to keep it that way, r.i.p. till the day I die
I am 51 years old and live the simple but a good life. Today I sit in my fully paid apartment and looking out the window....see those stars and remember DIO as he and his songs still taking me thru my journey.....but I am not alone with my family .....those words came out real.
I had that experience with my friend. he mentioned Dio and only knew holy diver. I was like SMH ! and he's white american and I moved here from Pakistan but I've been listening to thrse since born. Love Dio !healways gives ne goose bumps. There are many other great singers but RJD...
Dec 2020 Almost 55 yrs old. I still remember the concerts I've had the pleasure of seeing the Show. Solo and with Rainbow and Sabath. Elf , o was to young. RIP Ronnie
This has to be my absolut favorit song of Dio and of all songs. Because the text is like what my childhood with struggles with Aspergers and loneliness. I have same thing today. Sometimes I really think everything is against me. If I do something can it means big mistake. Like go in a train or buss with lot of people I always just get out ASAP. Because I will think they will something to do with me. Because I have social anxiety. The text in this song is like thoughts I will think normally.
The day Warner Brothers dropped this epic masterpiece LP I listened to the entire album day after day for 6 months and still listen to it weekly... A true gift to METAL FANS around the globe!
Just my piece here. Here's how I interpret this song: This whole song is our inside spirit and soul telling our brain and mind- Don't do stuff like wasting yourself over silly thing like a bad woman that would harm you, break you and use you up. At the end of the day, it's just US. Our soul our mind our brain our body. Basically what Dio calls it real and forever that helps you look and feel. We are danger, stranger to ourselves not understanding our own worth and capabilities. The inside is still dark, anger and pain. But at the same time it's master to all of this which indicates it can be controlled for our good. For this, don't let bad stuffs get to your mind. Run away from them. Protect your soul. Don't bluff and easily trust bad people, you are sure to fall next time. And lastly don't dream of women. They will bring you down to their own level. This is how I interpeted it. It may be completely opposite to what Dio would ve thought but this is how I m taking it while going through a bad phase.
I think you are right, i would just adjust one thing. Instead of "women", use "bad partner". Not every woman hurts, just the evil ones .and girls can be touched by this song cos we get hurt by evil men too. Just saying. Hope you find good people in your way.
If you have like autism. You'll probably get those thoughts. Because it is you fear with social situations. I have Asperger syndrom and the text is like simliar thoughts i get in like social aspects. If you do something, you think it just will be bad.
I don't really see that. I think the meaning is actually pretty clear. "Don't talk to strangers because they're only there to do you harm, Don't smell the flowers..." he's being sarcastic, exaggerating the "don't do this, don't do that" mentality we are given as children. When he begins to say, "I'm master, I'm danger" and all that, I personally think he is speaking as Satan, the devil or the tempter. The one who is always there, whether you like it or not. Tempting you to talk to the stranger, because maybe strangers know something that you don't... because remember, if you never smell the flowers, you may be safe, but you'll miss out on the wonderful fragrance. You'll miss out on life if you don't dare to take a risk... but if you do dare, you just might BE BROUGHT DOWN! All his songs are like this really. Living it up because maybe this life has more meaning than the next. Doing what most others are afraid to do, even if the price is your soul. Don't think he put a demon as the album art just to mess with people. The guy was very blasphemous and rebellious. Anyways, that's my thoughts on it.
Not to be the jojo weeb or anything but, i love jojo, not just because the visuals and story and all that stuff, and the simbulism, but the way it has introduced me to so many FRICKING GOOD SINGERS BRUH, first song i here is holy diver cause a dio amv video, and then i search the song up, then i listen to more of the songs, and boom im at this masterpeice
Fuckin..that solo man. I’ve always loved Vivian. I’ve heard this 1000x but it’s been a few years. If the masses heard this today he might get the same accolades that Nuno is currently (and deservedly) receiving.
Do you hear how he growls out the word "pain" at 1:51? What a singer! I heard Dio had classical training in opera. How lucky for us he decided he liked rock and metal better. His lyrics are incredible too. Rock on, Ronnie James, wherever you are now!
Tony & Geezer landed the only one that could keep Sabbath on top, and its obvious to me that after leaving Ronnie really hit another gear, as this album is loaded with evidence, now stand up and shout!!
If you just like rock/metal because the guitar solos, you don’t deserve to play this music. This is deeper than you think. Music always was and is magic and always will be. Ameen to that. Symbol’s talk more than what the average people know. Pbuy 😏
Oni raczej mieli normalne podejście do zła którego bardzo dzisiaj brakuje większości ludzi nie siali paniki etc nie rozpisując się czyli krótki jasny przekaż uważaj na nieznajomych koniec kropka,bez tego całego pitolenia o tym że nadejdzie straszny koniec świata i że wszędzie praktycznie jest ukryty diabeł ale też trzymając zło na dystansie nie pochwalają go tak to rozumiem tak samo jak z rainbow on the dark czyli z tęcza w ciemnościach.

This is about how heaven may be bereft of women. That's what the prophecy of the chosen one is really about, an afterlife where a male angel maintains the light. However, not sure there is a prophecy. H-a-y-l-e-l when I met him, I'm not sure there was a prophecy. But that's the idea.
In Polish już od dziecka uczą nas żeby nie rozmawiać z nieznajomymi ale pytanie brzmi czy tak się da jeżeli chodzi o wewnętrzne demony a wśród nich głównie choroby których nikomu nie warto życzyć ale które każdy ma i które męczą nas każdego dnia natomiast fajna pouczająca piosenka w myśl tego powiedzenia żeby unikać obcych głównie odnosnie dzieci,!
Znacży też inna sprawa że jeżeli chodzi o ludzi rzeczywiście nie wszystkich trzeba poznać ale w kwestii chorób własnych czy potworów wewnętrznych etc to już tak niestety nie ma można udawać co najwyżej ze się ich nie zna ale nie można nie poznać mimo że wszyscy nie mamy wątpliwości o ich destrukcyjnie i przynajmniej nie powinniśmy mieć, ale co do słów na s jest jeszcze strongest lub strikes czy stranges silny szybki i dziwny jakoś tak chyba się nie pomyliłem w nazwach z czego jedna jest od Marvela no w każdym razie dobra nie będę się rozpisywać głównie to już tyle
I think the general meaning of this song is not, be anti social and a recluse, but to stay away from the illusions in life that fool you into destructive behaviors. There are many things that bring instant temporary gratification, but only leave you to suffer, in microeconomic terms, the opportunity costs. When you have that bag of horribly processed bag of Doritos, jack off, then call it a night and go to bed instead of working towards a healthier life style by working out or doing some meditating, you bit the dust. You might think that the first choice was the one that brought the greatest satisfaction, but it was much more temporary than the latter choice and it will also bring suffering both mentally and physically. This is especially true when it comes to the biggest deficits that one has in their life. Everyone has their short comings, and these conflicts are difficult to resolve as there was something to cause this in the first place. The song is filled with internal conflict and to me, the solo greatly reflects that. It represents to me the battle against the shadow within in my subconscious mind.

don't call yourself a dio fan if you only know holy diver
I had that experience with my friend. he mentioned Dio and only knew holy diver. I was like SMH ! and he's white american and I moved here from Pakistan but I've been listening to thrse since born.
Love Dio !healways gives ne goose bumps. There are many other great singers but RJD...
Couldnt agree with you more brother \w/
Ok I will have a go holy diver this one and man on the silver mountain
Stargazer was the song that made me a Ronnie James Dio fan but I love all the albums he worked on. Dio is God, one of the greatest of all time.
Hey! I also know his amazing cameo from Tenacious D!!

I have compared your wisdom to experience and I believe you're right...
I think you are right, i would just adjust one thing. Instead of "women", use "bad partner". Not every woman hurts, just the evil ones .and girls can be touched by this song cos we get hurt by evil men too. Just saying. Hope you find good people in your way.

There's nothing to say about Ronnie James Dio that hasn't already been said so I'm just going to say I miss you and your music Ronnie
Amazing song from an amazing man, What a loss. I'm so glad to have seen him live with Dio and also with Sabbath.
Beatuiful Guitar Solo, you can feel your soul resonating along
