Scorpio Season
Charlotte Cardin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You took another sick day, you don't feel any better
I already missed you before you left
You're the love of my life, but our life is a mess
And there's never a reason
It's Scorpio season
When really, we've been runnin' out of reasons why
You say I've lost my mind
But it's just the Scorpio
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too)
Season
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too)
We're two broken hearts beatin' together
November's always dark, but this one is darker
I already missed you before you were gone
You're the love of my life, they were doin' it wrong
And there's never a reason
It's Scorpio season
How dare you say we're fine
When really, we've been runnin' out of reasons why
You say I've lost my mind
But it's just the Scorpio
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too)
Season
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too)
Scorpio
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too)
Season
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too)
Can't say we didn't try
When really, we've been runnin' low on love sometimes
Maybe I've lost my mind
Maybe it's
Scorpio
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too)
Season
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too) Scorpio season for me too
Scorpio
(What you gonna do? It's Scorpio season for you too) it's Scorpio season

In Charlotte Cardin's song "Scorpio Season," the lyrics paint a picture of a rocky relationship between the two lovers in question. The opening lines of "We're two breaking waves crashing together" suggest that the two individuals are conflicting with each other and are undergoing turbulence in their relationship. The second line of "You took another sick day, you don't feel any better" implies that one person in the relationship is struggling with something and possibly even using it as an excuse to avoid time with their partner.
The verse continues with "I already missed you before you left/You're the love of my life, but our life is a mess" indicating that even though they are still with each other, they are already feeling disconnected, and their relationship is in a state of disarray. The chorus emphasizes that it is Scorpio season, further reinforcing the idea that something is off, and there's always a reason for it. The lines "How dare you say we're fine/When really, we've been running out of reasons why" point towards a lack of communication and honesty in the relationship, with both parties putting up a facade of being okay when, in reality, they are struggling.
The second verse continues to hint at the troubles in their relationship with the line "We're two broken hearts beatin' together/November's always dark, but this one is darker." It shows that even though they are together, their hearts are already broken, and they are not bringing any light into each other's lives. The line, "You're the love of my life, they were doin' it wrong," suggests that outside people might have interfered with their bond causing turmoil. The chorus repeats with the idea that it's Scorpio season for both of them, indicating that it's affecting them individually and as a couple. The bridge conveys a sense of acceptance, where they realize they might have lost their love for each other, but the reference to Scorpio season is still prevalent even as they consider moving on.
