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".

She Said
Scorpions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no place you wouldn't be
If anything, I wish I had
Another dream with you
Life was forever yesterday
Nothing in the world could take
Your love away, will I ever know
That time will ease the pain
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said you can leave, but never
Walk away
Lights reflecting in the evening sun
Back to the place where we were one
Soul mates forever about to chase
Rainbows in the dark
Another day to destiny
Come on and set me free
When I close my eyes, I see your smile
As I walk in the pouring rain
I call your name
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said, we will be together, someday
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said, you can leave, but never
Walk away
I can see a million faces
When I take a walk outside
But I just never knew
That I could go a million places
And I'd see always, only you
The loneliness crawls up on me
Without you there's no me
At any time or any place
But time will ease the pain
For me someday
She said I won't leave you, ever
Just love me forever
She said, we will be together, someday
She said, I will wait forever
I won't leave you ever
She said, you can leave, but never
Ever walk away
Don't walk away
Oh no don't walk away
I'll be waiting, always
Until you'll wake up from this dream
Someday
The Scorpions' song "She Said" is a heartfelt ballad about a past love that still resonates deeply with the songwriter. The first verse sets the mood and tone for the rest of the song as the singer reminisces about the past and how this lost love is ingrained in his every memory. The lyrics are layered with a deep sense of loss, sadness, and longing for returning to the embrace of this lost love. He wishes he could revisit the past and have another dream with her, to relive the moments, to have her memories alive again. The second verse eases up a little as the songwriter shifts from looking to the past to looking at the present. He remembers a place where they were one, where they were soulmates, and were going to chase rainbows in the dark. He seems to be desperate to find solace in the memories, he clings to the thought that someday the pain will ease, and he will find a way back to his lost love.
The chorus is perhaps the most powerful part of the song, singing a promise of love from the lost love saying she won't leave, and he can't ever walk away. It's a haunting, visceral reminder of what once was, and the songwriter desperately wants to believe in this promise of love despite the fact that she is gone now.
The bridge adds a layer of tension and urgency, with the songwriter confessing his loneliness and how he never imagined his life without her to be so empty. It emphasizes again how much he longs to be reunited with this lost love and how he sometimes feels like there is no hope for him.
In conclusion, the song is a powerful ballad about lost love, longing, and the feeling that things could have been better. The lyrics have a raw emotional depth, which is only enhanced by Klaus Meine's powerful vocal delivery.
