My life is everything
That feeds my thirst that causes sin
My wants are all I care
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep into my face
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I can do
Unless you want it done to you, oh-ohhh!

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh

My self I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul
It's black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh-oh!

My lies, to reach the shore
I aggrandize and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away
All that you love, you I'll soon betray
Look deep into my past
The pain I deal is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man



I've been interested in how to define a Scorpio "inner feelings".
I can really relate to this lyrics. It explains my inner nature. I think my nature is split between good and bad. Sometimes I just feel really "evil" or powerful to the extreme, like I can do anything in the world. Like it's a side of me which I'm holding under great restraint. It feels like a big, black boiling soup of power in the core of my soul. It's a really smug, superior feeling. I don't know if this is common, and I don't know how to explain it properly... Is this the self-destructive dark power many Scorpio fall victims to? I think, even if you're an scorpion, eagle, or phoenix, we still have the Scorpio nature deep imprinted in us, which is evil... (I don't have these feelings to people I love of course.)


Like this fable about the frog and the Scorpion:

Can any of you explain how you feel?

I'm no scorpio, but this is an interesting read. I've said it before and this kind of proves my point on why I view some scorpios as leeches. Some can latch onto those that have something they internally want and can literally suck out that desired power, it seems.

I'm no scorpio but I can relate to feeling powerful and superior. The only difference is that its not at the cost of anyone in particular, but moreso the cost of everyone as a whole. For that, a caps desires can never be met.

Who are those lyrics by?

I was reading that I thinking "Nah I'm not that bad" but when I read your explanation about how it feels...yes...I can absolutely relate and it makes me want to hang my head in shame...while at the same time there is that small hint of pride that I can be like that...wtf??

I don't know the different types of scorpios very well..I've only read small descriptions but I think I'm not a scorpion but not an eagle either...if that makes sense. Definitely haven't made it to be a phoenix.

I understand about the holding it under restraint thing. Do you find you sometimes feel like going "stuff this, I'm just going to let it all come out!" but it just doesn't, or you feel guilty about even just considering it? haha now I know I'm not making sense.

"My self I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul
It's black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh-oh!"

That bit is the part that I can 100% relate to...but it's also the part that I'm not so ashamed about. Even in my happiest moments I am trapped in my dark. I feel like I thrive on the dark, sadness, pain, anger...whatever. It makes me feel alive.

Maybe I'm just morbid or not right in the head.

Yeah, it's the same with me. I am proud, and because it's natural, I thrive on it. Many people have Scorpios labeled "leeches", "evil" etc. Maybe we all are deep down... It's not that I use it, but I'm carrying it around all the time. Darkness is my home, because in the end I always end up there..

My self I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own

It's black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what I please

I think this is so beautiful. It's my sentiments exactly.

I find I'm the one giving rather than the one leeching which makes me wish I could let those 'bad' things I feel simmering under the surface out...but I never can. The nearest I have gotten to being 'evil' was with my last relationship. I found out that he had 3 other girlfriends and got one of those pregnant and ooooh how I wish I could lash out and not care who or what I hurt...what I did and what the re-actions would be from my actions. The worst it got was me name calling him and one of the girls! haha. But in my head where there were no restrictions...wow...

I feel like a lot of those things expressed in those lyrics (or my interpretation of them at least) are things that I inflict on myself rather than others.

I also do not tell people what I think they want to hear and not mean it. But that is not necessarily a good thing.

I'm assuming you could be meaning something similar to what I feel when you say "it's not that I use it, but I'm carrying it around all the time"

Perhaps these feelings are present in all of humanity, Scorpios though tend to take them to the extreme. Generally a Scorpio attacks purely in defense, and when attacking without provocation it is often self-destructive in nature.

This song seems to be about fearing vulnerability or weakness, treating everyone as an enemy and then defeating them before they have a chance to defeat the Scorpion. It's also a disclaimer; warning others about it's nature and in turn negating their shock and surprise when stung. It's self-loathing and one who does not love themselves cannot love at all.

I do think that the song accurately describes a period that many Scorpios go through. The people that we meet throughout our lives will affect how long the Scorpion resides in that darkness.

Well, that's my dimestore philosophical take on it🙂



I love it!

Maybe if this isn't a period all scorpios go through...then it could be that this particular person was going through a deep depression in some way.

It's so awesome how songs and poems and such can be interpreted differently from person to person. Even paintings can be interpreted differently! It makes it all the more personal for the person reading it.
