No idea, but it is a classic  Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh what's becoming of me Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean Gotta get away Holy Diver Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light Oh we will pray it's all right Gotta get away-get away Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid Jump on the tiger You can feel his heart but you know he's mean Some light can never be seen Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh what's becoming of me Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean Gotta get away Holy Diver  |

| 1.. "Riding the tiger is a proverb whose meaning is that the only place where you cannot be eaten by a tiger is when you're riding it..." 2.. "Ronnie is singing about doing heroin. Tiger is slang for heroin, which makes those black cc measurment lines on the syringe its "stripes", and as a bonus, the heroin is clean." just a quick google search.. my bet is the heroin.. |

The hits seem to be written about sex while they are all on drugs the good songs are ones written about drugs while on drugs and the crappy ones are are everything while sober.

Oh wait, it's metal, it comes from hell. Well, that doesn't mean it's about Satan...

Jack Black makes me laugh. And Dave Grohol is on the drums. It's entertaining because it's not serious, like Dio tried to be. I guess... |

Oh you know, you can see his stripes but you know he's clean. That means...you can pet it. That song is awesome, yet ridiculous. Maybe the writer thought if he sung the song like he did, people wouldn't be sure of what he's saying.Isn't Du Hast by Rammstein the same way? Last edited by NoobCrawler; 11-02-2011 at 08:35 AM. |
