Someone else mentioned sarcasm, but wasn't as confident as they should have been when sharing this factor. This song uses the word "Don't" a lot. Let us count the ways: Don't (1) talk to strangers (2) write in starlight (3) stand in doorways (4) dream of women (5) smell flowers. All of these 5 subjects are essentially neutral, but can be positive or negative depending on the situation. They can lead to your downfall, or they can lead to happiness. These are our desires, or a romantic way of actualizing/visualizing your goal (writing in starlight.. something most civillized humans wouldn't do, as what does it accomplish?) You won't write in starlight unless you are truly serious, devoted, trill, legit, etc about your goal. So what do we do? Live in a state of paralysis and fear.. afraid to do anything to talk to anyone, everyone is now a stranger, no girls, emptiness loneliness.. or .. the contrary, actually live and enjoy it. Yes, Dio is quite facescious in this song. Btw, I notice a lot of people confused over Dio lyrics. If they were easy to figure out, then what fun would that be? Sometimes songs have a personal, individual interpretation aswell, that only the listener feels ..
