Yo, I was a Holy Diver last night. This nun let me go down on her. A shit that is so long it reaches the bottom of the bowl before breaking off. Also, a really good Dio song covered by Killswitch Engage.

Holy Diver song meanings. Add Your Thoughts Comments. General Comment Quoted from ronniejamesdio. Interesting point - "It's simply a song about things that are not always what they appear to be.
You need to look at more than what the package is, you need to look inside. The cover of the album hightlights that - Dio has said many times, why is a devil drowning a priest?
Bad people don't always look bad, many times they look normal. Also, good people may not always be the ones who are prettiest on the outside. He's actually somewhat of a prophet - think of the more recent problems with priests misbehaving with young kids maybe we should have Murray drown them! The song just uses lots of vivid fantasy metaphors. Dio just takes a pretty old, basic proverd "don't judge a book by it's cover" and writes a cool song, with lots of vivid metaphors, that people try to deciper.

My Interpretation Ronnie did an interview on this that revealed a little bit on this, so I'm going to communicate my interpretation based on what I got out of it. The midnight sea are the trials of life; These are choices we make between good and evil. It also refers to the night time that our character is walking through in the song.
It might be that Ronnie is singing to us because he feels some distress about the choices he's made in the past. I support this by saying that each line has a special meaning to him and " What's becoming of me " is a reflection upon one's self. Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean Ronnie has described the tiger as your personal strength; And he has described the stripes of the tiger as the exterior of those around us.
Oh don't you see what I mean? This is telling us not to judge a book by it's cover. We have to be strong and choose our allies by their character and despite what would seem like their flaws when we have a challenge to overcome. When we see the stripes of the tiger, our first judgement is to run. Our first instinct can be wrong. Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you Shiny diamonds gets explained in the very next line, it's the eyes of our tiger and he sees us.
We know what we're capable of and that strength comes in accepting our fears and facing them. That decision is coming a little bit closer for us every day. Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light Oh we will pray it's all right Race for the morning!
Obviously our character the holy diver is running, but this makes me think of sleep. Personally instead of making a decision or working to solve a problem, I often find myself falling asleep and hoping that the next day everything will turn out alright. This is what this reminds me of. Gotta get away-get away Still running. Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel Velvet is a traditionally comfortable cloth.
Here, velvet lies are the things we're comfortable with believing out of convenience or comfort we wallow in instead of owning up to our mistakes and anxieties. The truth that's hard as steel makes you think of a sword. Again, this is another symbol of our inner strength.
You think of a sword or a shield, hard enough to stop any enemy. We can overcome. Now as far as the vision that never dies, I tend to think of visions like those diviners believe they have. Vinny Appice, who left Sabbath to follow Dio to a new project, ended up demoing songs with RJD before the other members were in place.
Holy Diver was one of those early songs, with RJD adding some bass and simple guitar. It was an obvious winner. With songs like that in their back pocket, they set about looking for other band members to complete the puzzle. It happened pretty organically — Jimmy Bain had played bass in the best version of Rainbow, and he was the one who recommended Vivian Campbell. When the full version of the band got to hear and attempt the demo of Holy Diver , the band leader could not have been more happy with how it came out.
There was no particular formula or concept planned for the album. It was all about what the musicians would come up with when they started working on the songs. They all wrote what they wanted to write, and if it felt good, it became a finished song.
