| Megadeth – The Scorpion Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
The Scorpion and the Frog is a fable of unknown author, though often mis-attributed to Aesop.[1] The story is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown as well. The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the two of them. When asked why, the scorpion explains, "I'm a scorpion; it's my nature." This song is obviously about human nature, and the fact that we betray and deceive. The "Scorpion" is a great metaphor for humans. "I'm not a lowly scorpion I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man" |
