About Lyrics and Action by Scorpions

The lyrics for Action are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1972 song by Scorpions. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Action have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Action - Scorpions and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Action by Scorpions in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Action" means the words set to the music of Action, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Scorpions. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Action and the lyrics to Action are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Scorpions who came here looking just for the lyrics to Action, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
