Mystery
Dio [USA] Lyrics

Hey, can you hear me can you see
The singer is asking if the listener is paying attention to what is happening around them.

There's a storm on the edge of the sky
There is something big and potentially dangerous happening.

Does it matter
The singer is wondering if the listener cares about what is happening or not.

Well it does to me, and I can tell you why
The artist thinks it's important and wants to explain why.

You know when there's thunder, there should be rain
The artist is pointing out that when something usually happens, it is odd if it doesn't happen this time.

But it don't always follow the rule, no
The singer is acknowledging that sometimes things don't happen as expected.

And is the wise man always right?
The singer is questioning whether or not those who are considered wise are always correct in their beliefs or actions.

No he can play the fool
The artist is saying that even wise people can make mistakes and act foolishly sometimes.

It's always a mystery, not what it seems to be
The artist believes that things are often more complicated or different than they appear at first glance.

It's always a mystery, just like you and me
People are complex and can't always be easily understood.

We are lightning
The singer is emphasizing that humans are powerful and unpredictable.

We are flame
The artist is continuing to emphasize that humans have great potential for good or bad.

And we burn at the touch of a spark
Humans are easily influenced and can be pushed towards good or bad actions.

When there's fire, but no one sees
Even when something is happening that is important, it may not get noticed by others.

There's only the dark
When something is overlooked, there may be consequences that are hidden or unknown.

Just imagine, will you try
The artist is encouraging the listener to open their mind and think creatively.

I can see that you've opened your mind
The artist thinks that the listener is now thinking more openly and freely.

Silver linings can disappear, but they always shine
Even when something good goes away or ends, the positive memories or lessons remain.

It's always a mystery, not what you want to see
The singer is acknowledging that people often hope to understand things perfectly, but that isn't always possible.

Always a mystery, always a mystery not what you want to see
Repeating the previous line for emphasis.

Always a mystery, always a mystery
The artist repeats this idea, saying that things will always remain somewhat mysterious or unknown.
