Invisible
Dio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If your circle stays unbroken
Then you're a lucky man
'Cause it never, never, never has for me

In the palace of the virgin
Lies the chalice of the soul
And it's likely you might find the answer there
She had thirteen years of teenage tears
And never a helping hand
She had fourteen more of rain before
She saw the sight of land
She was a photograph just ripped in half
A smile inside a frown
And the the light, the answer right
Inside her coming down

It said
I can go away
I can leave here
I can be invisible
I go away

He was just eighteen and in-between
A lady and a man
His daddy's girl in momma's world
That was when he ran
You know the word confused has been abused
But that's just what he was
And then the spark inside the dark
The answer came because it said

You can go away
You can leave here
You can be invisible

Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick
Of life upon a stage
So I bought the book and took a fast look
At just the very last page
It was a single word that I'd just heard
From the two that came before
The only way to really stay
Is to walk right out the door

So you can go away
I'm gonna leave here
I can be invisible

And go away again
I can go away
When I leave here
I can be invisible

I said, when you can go away
Lord you know it's right to leave here
So I just become invisible
I went away
I disappeared before your eyes
You never touch me you never feel me
You'll never see me again
Because I've just become unseen
Well I'm a photograph that's been torn in half
We're all eighteen and we're in between
We need a helping hand to the holy land




To be invisible
To go away

Overall Meaning

The song “Invisible” by Dio tells stories of individuals who feel lost, confused, and trapped in their current situations. The first two verses are about a woman who has had a rough life and hopes to find answers in the “chalice of the soul” located in the “palace of the virgin.” However, the answers she finds are telling her that she can go away, leave here, and be invisible. The third verse is about a person who is struggling with their identity, feeling confused and unable to fit into society’s expectations. The answer they find tells them the same thing - they can leave, they can be invisible.


The last verse is about the singer himself, who also feels trapped in his own life. He had a taste of fame, but it was not fulfilling. He finds his answer in a single word - to leave. To walk out the door and become invisible. Throughout the song, the repeated message is that there is freedom in disappearing, in becoming invisible. It hints at a desire to escape and start anew, to be free from the constraints and expectations of society.


There are many interpretations of this song, but the common theme is the desire to break free from societal expectations and live a life that is true to oneself. It speaks of a search for inner peace, and the belief that disappearing is one way to achieve it.


Line by Line Meaning

If your circle stays unbroken
If your life stays stable and secure


Then you're a lucky man
Then you are fortunate


'Cause it never, never, never has for me
Because it has never stayed that way for me


In the palace of the virgin
In a place of purity and holiness


Lies the chalice of the soul
Holds the essence of the soul


And it's likely you might find the answer there
You may discover the solution to your problems there


She had thirteen years of teenage tears
She had a period of emotional turmoil during her teenage years


And never a helping hand
And no one to assist her


She had fourteen more of rain before
She experienced more hardships after that


She saw the sight of land
Before she finally found relief


She was a photograph just ripped in half
Her life was torn apart


A smile inside a frown
Despite being unhappy, she still found some happiness


And the the light, the answer right
The clarity and solution


Inside her coming down
That became apparent to her


I can go away
I can disappear


I can leave here
I can depart from this place


I can be invisible
I can become unseen


He was just eighteen and in-between
He was at that crossroads at 18 years old


A lady and a man
Navigating his gender identity and sexuality


His daddy's girl in momma's world
He felt out of place in his family's culture


That was when he ran
So he ran away


You know the word confused has been abused
The word 'confused' is overused


But that's just what he was
But that's how he felt


And then the spark inside the dark
A moment of insight in a low point


The answer came because it said
The solution became clear


Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick
I matured rapidly and experienced life's struggles


Of life upon a stage
Of performing and being in the public eye


So I bought the book and took a fast look
I sought knowledge and quick solutions


At just the very last page
Only to find the answer at the end


The only way to really stay
The only way to truly remain


Is to walk right out the door
Is to leave immediately


So you can go away
You can disappear


I'm gonna leave here
I am going to depart


When I leave here
Once I am gone


Lord you know it's right to leave here
It is the correct decision to depart


So I just become invisible
So I become unseen


I went away
I disappeared


I disappeared before your eyes
You never saw me leave


You never touch me you never feel me
You cannot reach me or feel me


You'll never see me again
You will never lay eyes on me again


Because I've just become unseen
Because I am now unseen


We're all eighteen and we're in between
We are all uncertain and undecided


We need a helping hand to the holy land
We all need guidance and support to achieve our goals


To be invisible
To become unseen


To go away
To disappear
