1. Dio was an American heavy metal band formed in 1982 and led by vocalist Ronnie James Dio. Dio left Black Sabbath with intentions to form a new band with fellow former Black Sabbath drummer Vinny Appice. The name Dio was chosen because it made sense from a commercial standpoint, as the name was already well known at that time. The band released ten studio albums and had numerous lineup changes over the years, with Dio himself being the only constant member. Guitarists included Vivian Campbell, Craig Goldy, Doug Aldrich, Warren DeMartini, Tracy G, Jake E. Lee and Rowan Robertson. The band dissolved in 2010 when Ronnie James Dio died of stomach cancer at the age of 67. Dio has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide.

Rainbow in the Dark
DIO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold, I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
No sign of the morning coming
Like a rainbow in the dark
A rainbow in the dark
Do your demons, do they ever let you go?
When you've tried, do they hide, deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're just a picture, you're an image caught in time
We're a lie, you and I
We're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark, yeah
When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic, I feel it floating in the air
But it's fear, and you'll hear
It calling you beware
Look out
There's no sight of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow in the dark, yeah
You're a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the morning
You're a rainbow in the dark
The song Rainbow in the Dark by Dio presents a powerful description of feeling lost in the darkness and seeking a way out. The lyrics begin by discussing the impact of lightning, which brings the singer down as they feel lost and never found. The singer cries out for magic and feels it dancing in the light, only to then lose their grip and be consumed by the shadows of the night. The overall theme is that of despair and hopelessness.
The sense of hopelessness and despair is further reflected in the line “no sign of the morning coming, you’ve been left on your own”. The singer feels abandoned and without a guiding light to show them the way out of their darkness. The imagery of a rainbow in the dark is used to further emphasize the feeling of being lost and disconnected from the positive emotions that a rainbow usually evokes.
In the second half of the song, there is a dialogue being portrayed between the singer and their inner demons. The demons never let go despite their attempts to hide deep inside themselves. They feel like they are just an image caught in time, devoid of real meaning or purpose. The lyrics end on a desperate note with the warning of a voice knowing to beware.
Overall, the song expresses the feelings of hopelessness and despair that can weigh a person down when they feel lost in the dark. It is a message of struggle and the need to keep going despite the challenges that come.

When there's lightning, you know it always brings me down
Whenever there's a problem, it always affects me negatively
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I'm lost and struggling, and I realize that I am the only one who can help myself
I cry out for magic, I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold, I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
I long for something special and hopeful, but the darkness of life has taken hold of me
No sign of the morning coming

There seems to be no hope or help coming, and you're on your own trying to navigate through life's troubles
Do your demons, do they ever let you go?
When you've tried, do they hide, deep inside
Is it someone that you know
Do your inner struggles continuously hold you back, despite your efforts to overcome them?
You're just a picture, you're an image caught in time
We're a lie, you and I
We're words without a rhyme
We're all just passing through life, trying to make sense of it all, but ultimately we're just a small part of a larger picture
When I see lightning, you know it always brings me down
'Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Once again, when trouble strikes, it brings me down and I realize that I'm lost and struggling
Feel the magic, I feel it floating in the air
But it's fear, and you'll hear
It calling you beware
There's a sense of hope and promise in the air, but it's overshadowed by fear and the possibility of danger
Look out
There's no sight of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow in the dark, yeah
You're a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the morning
You're a rainbow in the dark
Once again, the theme of being on your own and struggling continues, with no end in sight. However, there's a glimmer of hope, as represented by the rainbow, shining through the darkness

As the Man on the Silver Mountain is Moses meeting God for the first time...
But you'll never stop me burning
Come down with fire
Lift my spirit higher
Someone's screaming my name
Come and make me holy again..
And Dio was not religious, But he had an encounter with the living God...That is what separates the Hebrew God from all other types of Religion..
Why I said. Maybe 20 people today get it...

[Verse 1]
When there's lightning
You know it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
[Verse 2]
I cry out for magic
I feel it dancing in the light
It went cold, lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
A rainbow in the dark

My favorite Dio tale: RJD arranged for taxis for some drunk kids (some of whom were teenage girls) stranded after his concert; RJD looked out for his fans and genuinely cared about them; he wouldn't leave them out on their own - that's a kind, decent and good man. Also, that this song - his song - he declared it belongs to everyone, it's everyone's song. RIP RJD. You are truly missed.
@trylius
Let me guess. You heard that from Steve Gorman rocks, eh?

Hey Bud I met Dio at random back in the late '90's at a L.A. grocery store and had a nice conversation with-even got his autograph-I mentioned this song to him btw...

@@trylius Maybe - many people have relayed so many stories of RJD's kindness and care for others I can't recall specifically where I read this. But Circus and Hit Parader back in the day printed a few stories, that my poor memory does recall! :)
