Shape of my heart

So this guy's a philosopher, you know, and he's not playing for respect and he's not playing for money. Hearts are not his strong suit. Dealing the cars is many times defined as saying the rules, controling something, playing with some situation or with someone. The song was used for the end credits of the film starring and , and within the 1993 film. A poker face may be great for a game of cards, but if you can't take it off when you're with a lover then you're in trouble. . The, the diamonds mean money.

The man is lost and doesn't want to end it, nor start anew. The game is a metaphor for the life that he has created for himself. The, the clubs are weapons. And the people don't suspect a thing. This song is similar, at least in theme, to Fortress Around Your Heart. He just wants to try and figure out the, the law, I think.

Whether he is playing cards or not is irrelevant. So be carefull if you choose to be a Joker in your life. In fact, he doesn't express any. That's good for a poker player, but it's terrible for a, for a lover. But that's not the shape of his heart neither combat fighting, nor making a lot of money for spying. His intentions are definitely not the ones of a king, but from a totally lost soul in love. The people that talk too much will find out that their giving away of information will cost them.

Once that arrow shoots through your heart, do you want to ever get out from it while knowing its danger and risks? But, no artist writes something that does not reflect his inner feelings, fears or desires. . The most precious thing is love. Society can put labels to anything and everything except true love from the heart, from the soul, which remains constant throughout the ages. For me this is my personal song to lead me out of my darkness. He may even come to lay with a queen, or play the prince, or kidnap a politician a king.

Shape Of My Heart by Sting

Shape of my heart

A sort, some sort of scientific law or almost religious law. And for me that is the main message of this song, if you fear you are lost. You are right on the nose to say that a lady was the cause of an inner war to him! He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades Again our cardplayer is reassuring himself of what he can do. He doesn't play this game with the same motivations as the average player. So, get up, Cheer up, get back on your feed. . And people who curse their luck constantly or have fear, will never amount to anything virtuous such as himself.

He realizes that some soldiers go and fight as soldiers with hand combat, or weapons of war. He emphasizes his bewilderement by repeating like a mantra what he does know, but his own heart and also the love of another person is out of reach. Where they are, the suits of the cards. There is only one thing that is completely alien to him. That is, he plays with people to get information from them.

. Renowned harmonica player Larry Adler played on this song. If you're having a relationship with a guy like this, the poor woman is lost. Before collaborating with popular musicians like Sting, Elton John and Kate Bush in his later career, Adler worked with composers like George Gershwin, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Darius Milhaud - many of whom composed works specifically for him. The obvious symbolism here is the heart representing emotion and love.

Dealing the cards must be, walking thru life, analising the choises made in the past. And so, there's a kind of conflict there between reality and fantasy. But to understand what the king is all about we need to remember one of Sting's other songs, which he did with the Police: King of Pain. Dominic now thinks that I find lyrics under a rock somewhere. He may conceal a king in his hand - kings stand for people who have mastered their lifes in some kind and understand the world.

. Sorry, but in my understanding you misquote the lyrics of this song at the for me most important point! Shape of my heart He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for the money he wins He doesn't play for the respect He deals the cards to find the answer The sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of probable outcome The numbers lead a dance I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While the memory of it fades I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape, the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who smile are lost I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart. Who gambles not, not to win, but to try and figure out something. British metalcore band released a cover of the song as part of , a compilation cover album released on November 9, 2018. But now, even their memories fade. Hmm, yeah, yeah Baby, please try to forgive me Stay here, don't put out the glow Hold me now don't bother if every minute it makes me weaker You can save me from the man that I've become, oh yeah. Fortress is a story about someone who has protected their heart for so long, and built such high walls to guard it that they have essentially created their own prison.

. And it's just one mask and it never changes. How ironic, as that may be directed at one of the two women depending on which one happens to be sitting in front! Unfortunately, he would be blacklisted during the anti-Communist crusade led by Senator Joe McCarthy in the '50s. I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier I know that the clubs are weapons of war I know that diamonds mean money for this art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape, the shape of my heart And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man of too many faces The mask I wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost Like those who curse their luck in too many places And those who smile are lost Our character lives his life in a shell, unable to express himself to those around him. He's not a man with two many faces, he tells her, he just wears a single mask and that's only during work.
