During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine took control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive (1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout (1982), Love at First Sting (1984), the live recording World Wide Live (1985), Savage Amusement (1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads (1989), and Crazy World (1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached No. 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
Scorpions are estimated to have sold over 100 million records around the world, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and heavy metal bands. One of their most recognized hits is "Wind of Change" (from Crazy World), a symbolic anthem of the political changes in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the fall of the Berlin Wall, and it remains as one of the best-selling singles in the world with over 14 million copies. Two of the songs on their ninth studio album Love at First Sting, "Rock You Like a Hurricane" and "Still Loving You", are regarded as some of the most influential and popular works, both in heavy metal music and among rock ballads, defined as "rock anthem" and "a true hymn of love".

Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Maserati comes unchained
Smell the power and energy
Come away, come away, come away
You're the rider of the wildest storm
Live your dreams before it's gone
Feel the spirit that sets you free
You gotta live it up there's no limit
We gotta make it
You give it all you've got there's no limit
Reach for the sky
We gonna leave for tomorrow land
We've got the future in our hands
A piece of heaven for you and me
Come away, come away, come away
You gotta live it up there's no limit
We gotta make it
You give it all you've got there's no limit
Reach for the sky
You gotta let it go there's no limit
We gotta take it
You leave me hot and cold there's no limit
Out of my mind

Take me higher always higher
Reach for the sky]x2
You gotta live it up there's no limit

You give it all you've got there's no limit
Reach for the sky
You gotta let it go there's no limit
We gotta take it
You leave me hot and cold there's no limit
Out of my mind
Out of my mind.

The verses say the rider is the wildest storm, and they are encouraged once again to embrace that spirit of freedom and not let it go. The lyrics speak to the idea that there is no limit to what one can achieve or experience in their lifetime.
The song speaks to the listener's ambition and tells them not to hold back, to reach for the sky and make their dreams a reality.

The song speaks not just to action but to feeling, to the spirit within us that longs for adventure and excitements. The spirit that we all have inside us that needs to be unleashed and its full potential achieved. The lyrics speak to a more profound meaning in that the listener should be able to live life on their terms and enjoy everything that comes along the way.
