DIO

- Rainbow In The Dark Lyrics

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

I cry out for magic
I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold, lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

No sign of the mornin' comin'
You've been left on your own
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 mornin' comin'
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 mornin' comin'
There's no sign of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a rainbow
Like a rainbow in the dark
Yeah, yeah

You're a rainbow in the dark
Just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the mornin'
You're a rainbow in the dark

It reveals the inner struggle of confronting the demons and fears that can hide the person's real identity, giving stronger emphasis to the feeling of being alone and not understood even when magic and light are around. The Rainbow in the dark lyrics are mostly about despair, angst, heartbreak, solitude, and reflection. At the same time, the song emphasizes the necessity of isolation and loneliness, fighting with one's inner devils and looking for hope and magic.

This appears to be about admiring satan as being free, and wanting his magic.This person then realizes he is not of satan,he is of God, but now must endure the dark for making that mistake.
