Scorpio
Schäffer The Darklord Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

When I go out, almost every time
People wanna ask me "What's your sign?"
I think it's kinda silly
But I really don't mind
I pause then I reply

"Guess!", with a little grin
And then they go "Yes! Of course it just

Makes so much sense!"
Cuz everybody everywhere knows
That answer only comes from a Scorpio

And with that little line I
Know I've got 'em
Other signs in the crowd slide
Down to the bottom
It seems a little odd that
It would make me awesome
But it does, just cuz I was born in autumn
All my other Scorpios are much the same
Looking for love and out running the game
Doubt nothing, full power now, without shame
This song is about you you're so vain

So it goes in zodiac
Our egos tend to be the worst
Born October 23rd to November 21st
We live in houses filled with mirrors in
Which we peer upon the hour
Often the envy of the other eleven
And drunk on our own power

Passionate, jealous, obsessive and intense
Magnetic and ambitious
Completely self-obsessed
Narcissistic, secretive, dark and emotional
Brooding, stubborn, resentful, very
Very sexual!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers
And the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns
And Leos all will fall and face their fate
At the feet of the Scorpio!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers
And the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns
And Leos all will fall and face their fate
At the feet of the Scorpio!

Take a look here, do you like what you see?
(Yeah)
Don't answer that, I was talking to me (Oh)
I own every room when I enter a place
I got a wall full of
Photographs all of my face
And it isn't my fault, I was born into it
Doesn't this beat sound like porn music?
(Yeah) doesn't it even kinda make you
Want to do it? (Yeah)
Sex is a dialect, Scorpio is fluent

Here's a little bit of odd irony (Huh?)
I couldn't care less about astrology (No?)
Never read my horoscope's a policy (No?)
Do my Scorpio's here all follow me? (Yeah)
Have you ever got it
On after terrible weather? (Yeah)
Have you ever gotten married
And then barely remember? (Yeah)
Have you ever yelled out
That you'll live forever? (Yeah)
Is your birthday in the first
Two thirds of November? (Yeah)

Don't you other signs go lose your
Minds and have an episode
Or I'll declare you Scorpio
Haters are all arachnophobes
If you try to challenge us
Then surely you will truly fail
Get your fixtures between our pincers
Poison you with our tails

Passionate, jealous, obsessive and intense
Magnetic and ambitious
Completely self-obsessed
Narcissistic, secretive, dark and emotional
Brooding, stubborn, resentful
Very very sexual!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers
And the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns
And Leos all will fall and face their fate
At the feet of the Scorpio!

All of the Pisces, Taurus, Geminis, Aquarius
All of the Aries, Cancers
And the Sagittarius
All of the Libras, Virgos, Capricorns
And Leos all will fall and face their fate
At the feet of the Scorpio!

Once upon a time the
Mighty hunter called Orion
Stood defiant on the Earth with sword
And draped in skins of lions
And he cried that he could slaughter
Any monster that would fight him
So incited by this Hera sent
A scorpion to find him

From a single sting that son
Of Poseidon did die and
He was made a constellation and placed
High into the sky and
So was Scorpio but they were
Placed on opposite horizons
So one would never have to face
The other one when rising

To this day the Scorpio is still
The water sign and which
So many underestimated monsters
Died on finding
All the signs identify the body
Parts they are assigned
And so the Scorpio is the genitals
Which I don't find surprising

And I wonder if it's cuz we
Stung the crotch of old Orion
Symbolizing lust for Artemis Orion
Had inside him or perhaps we are the vanity
That blinded and defied him
Either way we Scorpios are known
Both to entice and frighten

Everyone wants to hate a Scorpio

Everyone wants to date a Scorpio
Everyone wants to mate with a Scorpio!
