Scorpion
Savv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just waiting for the night so we could lay low
I took my vices and I put 'em on my payroll
Don't tell no lies
I put all this shit behind me now I'm fine
And she a good girl but she bad at it
I've been between Solstice and Compassion
I'm looking for solace and more passion
Don't go switching on me
Don't go getting around
You acting the same as me
I should've found out by now
You hate when you're alone
And you love going out
Sangria's and some sugarcane feel better when you're down
The leaves are turning auburn outside of your house
You never changed at all you're out here still having your doubts
Dyed your hair red, tried to turn your life around
I left the city just to sleep on someone else's couch
Lately how these days go
I'm just waiting for the night so we could lay low
I took my vices and I put 'em on my payroll
Don't tell no lies
I put all this shit behind me now I'm fine
Baby I've seen the signs
They told me love was blind yeah
Ain't nothing good about byes
You gotta make up your mind yeah
Look
Summer sorrows and a gram a day
It's always best to burn than fade away
If you ain't want it
You ain't gotta stay
There's something else
And I could say the same
There's no one out there who could take my place
Look at me and how I spend my days
When I'm not in you I'm insane
Lately how these days go
I'm just waiting for the night so we could lay low
I took my vices and I put 'em on my payroll
Don't tell no lies
I put all this shit behind me now I'm fine
In Savv's song "Scorpion," the artist showcases his experiences and emotions about finding solace and passion in a relationship. In the first verse, he shows his anticipation for the night as they can "lay low" and indulge in their vices. He confesses to putting his vices on his payroll, indicating his willingness to indulge and pay for pleasures. However, he also claims to have put all that behind him and is now fine. He then talks about his relationship with the woman, acknowledging that she is a "good girl" but implies she is not that good at being wild and adventurous. He references Solstice and Compassion, which may represent divergent paths or a love-hate feeling towards his partner. Savv is looking for solace and more passion in the relationship, which he feels is still lacking.
In the second verse, Savv is critical of his lover's behaviour. He tells her not to switch sides or go around, for he is looking for consistency. He reflects on how much the sugarcane and Sangria make him feel better, even when he is down. He sees the leaves turning auburn outside of her house and notes that despite her attempts to dye her hair red and turn her life around, she still harbours doubts. He also mentions how he left the city to sleep on someone's couch, an indication that he is seeking refuge from the chaos of his city life. In the bridge, Savv is expressing his angst about his lover's indecision. She is sending mixed signals, and he wants her to make up her mind. He sees the summer sorrows posting along with his life on Instagram and takes a gram of something every day to cope with it. He ends by saying there's no one out there who could take his place because he's living in wild abandon when not with her, and eventually, he's fine now.

Ain't nothing good about byes
Farewells and goodbyes usually have no positive aspect

Look
Listen to what I am saying
Summer sorrows and a gram a day
Sadness during summertime and drug addiction, possibly to marijuana
It's always best to burn than fade away
It's better to go out in a blaze of glory than to gradually disappear or become insignificant
If you ain't want it
If you do not want it
You ain't gotta stay
You do not have to stay or endure it
There's something else
There is something or someone else
And I could say the same
I feel the same way
There's no one out there who could take my place
There is no one who could replace me
Look at me and how I spend my days
Observe and consider how I spend my time
When I'm not in you I'm insane
When I am not with you, I feel crazy or mentally unstable
