Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
kad si pored mene
želim te, imat ću te
noćas pored sebe
Škorpioni odlaze u noć
škorpioni, pobjeda i moć
a ni vrijeme ratova
nije vrijeme carstva vještica
dolazi i naše vrijeme
vrijeme škorpiona
Svuci se i zavedi me
ma nisi ti djevica
budi sada moja sva
a poslije dobra ribica
Škorpioni odlaze u noć
škorpioni, pobjeda i moć
The lyrics of Thompson's song "Škorpioni" are about the power dynamic between two people, specifically the singer and his female partner. The lyrics suggest a desire for physical intimacy with the partner, as the singer states that he wants her and will have her tonight. The use of the metaphoric representation of scorpions suggests that the singer associates himself with their dangerous and powerful nature.
Throughout the song, the singer oscillates between a commanding tone, where he urges the partner to succumb to his desires, to a more tender approach where he asks her to undress and seduce him. Furthermore, the lyrics mention that this is not the era of love or wars, but the age of the scorpions, implying that this power dynamic is natural.
The song has been widely criticized for its misogynistic lyrics and objectification of women, which promote toxic masculinity and contribute to a culture of violence against women. The use of animal metaphors suggests a predatory and violent mindset, and the notion that a woman is an object to possess reinforces the idea that women are inferior and disposable.
