Master of the Moon Lyrics

Cover art for Master of the Moon lyrics by Dio

This song was written about a friend of Ronnie's son, who is at the age where he is becoming defiant and doesn't want to do what anyone tells him, he wants to do what he wants.

I think, I remember a video from an interview where RJD said something about some teenager dealing with his hormones, or something like that...

Because of that, I initially thought the song was about homosexuality, but later I realized that I was wrong.

The Moon is a metaphor for the Childhood.

A Master of the Moon is a grown-up person, an Adult. This is about a child who is growing, and not listening to the adults. At the end, he grows up too, and says: "I'm master of the moon" (I finally grew up).

You are 100% right...

I seem to remember reading somewhere that he said the Moon was a metaphor for darkness, and all the things that society as a whole tends to look down upon. So by declaring himself Master of the Moon, he is embracing his individuality, and rejecting conformity.
