      I've been trying to figure out who the dancer is since I first heard this song in the mid 80's. I think you guys maybe on to something here. What I always came up with is that the dancer is a person that is truly good and asks for nothing in return and that nobody recognizes that this person sacrifices their time/energy to keep others afloat. Just the fact that that lyric still has us talking about it 40 years later shows the true mastery that is Ronnie James DIO (RIP) 🤘🤘

Dio left Rainbow in 1979 to fill the vacancy of Ozzy Osbourne, who started a solo career. You gotta check out Rainbows song Stargazer and Gates of Babylon.

    “Bleed for the dancer” meaning has eluded people for decades. There are many interpretations. On one hand, you are the dancer. You are the one that puts in the work to make your life heaven or not put in the work to make your life hell. You got to bleed for your success. On another hand the dancer can mean the arts. The artist gives everything to his art and audience.sometimes no one gives back…

You need to listen more cafe fully to the lyrics. I don't care whst you people think. He always says we are liars we are strong we are evil . He's a freaking liar if you think he's talking about some good . Your fools . Don't get me wrong I like a lot of dios music , but I don't let it get into my head , I know he's trying to make everyone believe his lyrics are not a shot against Jesus and Christian believers, but that's a lie .

    Ronnie in many interviews considered this song to be his best song writing works. In regards to Brad wondering what "No One Bleeds for the Dancer" means; RJD stated No One Bleeds for the Dancer was directed at up and coming artists, to encourage them to pursue their dreams and not be deterred by whatever powers that be. In that context , I think of the dancer as perhaps a metaphor for the arts, how nobody advocates for the arts nearly as strongly as say, politics and power. The world is full of Kings and Queens, who'll blind your eyes and steal your dreams. 2 thumbs up reaction!!

    My initial reaction was the act of “bleeding” for something meant to sacrifice for it. “Love can be SEEN as the answer.” We’ve always heard “all you need is love” “love thy neighbor” but the world is still a mess. Nothing good in life is free (in spite of what our leaders may say). Every decision has a sacrifice attached. Good or bad (or heaven and hell)

      That’s not true. It came from Coven. They came before Black Sabbath, wrote a song called Black Sabbath and had a bass player named Oz Osborne. They’re doing the devil horns on the cover of their first album “Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps Souls”. A few years later, Black Sabbath comes out in England and music critics refer to them as England’s version of Coven.

    “Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer”
    Is a line that has been pondered since the song came out.
    I’ve heard a lot of different interpretations of it.
    I think the dancer is any artist and bleeding for is understanding the hard work and training they put into their craft.
    I of course could be way off.

    Dancer bleeds trying to achieve perfection, and typical person only see result of that hard work (she bleeds for you, you don't bleed for her). You love as an answer but are not willing to bleed for others. Basically doing more than you want to make place better.

    "Nobody bleeds for the dancer" means that nobody feels compassion for the other, the metaphor is the dacer giving it all and just receiving mere applauses
    So the litheral meaning is "you could see love as the answer, but nobody feels compassion"
    And in the end of the song he is telling you "you have to bleed for the dancer" like you have to feel compassion, care about the other, bring a hand if you can.
    Because we all are just dancers struggling in life
