@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Now i will find peace of mind
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest found the best
Stormy day won't find me sinking
I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore.
Dare to look face the test on the eve
When you set sailing
What you've learned what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing.
I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore.
Wind is high so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance.
Dreams unfold seek the gold.
Gold that's brighter than sunlight.
Sail away see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold's insight shining bright
Brighter than the sun that's rising.
3000 sails on high are straining in the wind
A raging sea below is this voyage coming to an end.
Finally found a way of thinking
Tried the rest found the best
Stormy day won't find me sinking
I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore.
Dare to look face the test on the eve
When you set sailing
What you've learned what you've earned
Ship of joy will stop you failing.
I can't conceal it like I know I did before
I got to tell you now the ship is ready
Waiting on the shore.
Wind is high so am I
As the shore sinks in the distance.
Dreams unfold seek the gold.
Gold that's brighter than sunlight.
Sail away see the day
Dawning on a new horizon
Gold's insight shining bright
Brighter than the sun that's rising.
3000 sails on high are straining in the wind
A raging sea below is this voyage coming to an end.

"Now I find peace of mind Finally found a way of thinking Tried the rest found the best Stormy day won't see me sinking"
This first verse sets the story - Ozzy has finally shut out the people telling him how to think and live. He's tried their ways for too long and now he wants to do what feels natural, and he is willing to bet he can weather any storm if his ways get him into trouble.
[Chorus] "I can't conceal it like I know I did before I got to tell you now the ship is ready Waiting on the shore"
Ozzy is saying he can't fake who he is anymore, and needs to let out the part of him that society has tried so hard to suppress. He then tells the audience he is out the door because his next voyage in life is ready to go.
"Dare to look face the test on the eve When you set sailing What you've learned what you've earned Ship of joy will stop you failing"
Before Ozzy actually changes into what he wants to be, he becomes introspective and wonders if he is making the right choice. He realizes that he's been through a lot and knows he deserves to be true to himself. The ship of joy is his vessel into his new way of thinking. Allowing himself to be happy will make his life seem like less of a failure.
[Chorus]
"Wind is high so am I As the shore sinks in the distance Dreams unfold seek the gold Gold that's brighter than the sunlight Sail away see the day Dawning on a new horizon Gold's insight shining bright Brighter than the sun that's rising"
Ozzy is now in full swing - doing drugs and can't go back. This doesn't bother him though, because he's realized so many of his dreams since getting on that ship. His new life experiences have been worth to him more than gold. He's excited for the future and says his experiences motivate him and brought him closer to God/his spirituality.
"Three thousand sails on high are straining in the wind A raging sea below is this voyage coming to an end"
Ozzy has finally lost all control. He doesn't know if he is going to be able to weather this one after all.
@btmngtrmn I think you're right. I also think S.A.T.O. can be interpreted as, "Solo And Taking Off".
@btmngtrmn Sorry to break it to you, but bassist Bob Daisley wrote the lyrics. This song has literally nothing to do with Ozzie Osbourne.
This is a great classic heavy metal song. According to some people S.A.T.O. stands for Sailing Around The Ocean. Some other people think its Ozzy writing about his love for his wife Sharon Anne Teresa Osbourne (tried the rest found the best). But im not sure about those middle names and that story definatly sounds like a rumor.
@ZepHead86 Except according to wikipedia, her name is Sharon Rachel Osbourne, with the maiden name Levy. Her father went by the name Don Arden, so You could get the "S", the "A", and the "O", but what would the "T" stand for?
sorry it's Sailing Across The Ocean :p
It's got to be Sailing Across The Ocean, that's what the lyrics talk about.
ok, to me the name of the song doesn't matter much.. and it IS saling across the ocean. But the song is about a pirate! Because it's talking about searching for gold. But i got to thinking, and it might be about some guy getting high, and thinking he's a pirate, because if you read through the lyrics, it gets more like a pirate, and 'Wind is high, so am I' makes it seem like that too.

"paranoid live with randy roads, over the mountain flying high again, you can´t kill rock and roll".
That hole album, "diary of a madman" is really weird. It seam that the hole lyrics of the songs have a lot to do with what happend next, the accident and death of Randy Rhoads I mean, this song and everyone in this album is like ...a diary of what happend that morning when they crashed. Sharon (2003) admitted have an affair with Randy.
Daniel Hart was obviously higher than ozzy when he posted that! jk man!
