STING - shape of my heart (1993)


He doesn't play for the money he wins
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a probable outcome

A travers 'Shape of my heart', Sting a voulu raconter l’histoire d’un joueur de cartes, « d’un homme qui aime jouer de manière générale, mais qui ne joue pas pour l’argent ou même pour gagner, mais pour défier constamment les lois de la logique, les lois de la chance et du hasard. Il joue pour ça, et rien que pour ça. Pour repousser ses propres limites. Il aime notamment jouer au poker parce que dans ce jeu, il ne faut surtout rien montrer de ses émotions ».
Shape of my heart est une chanson de Sting, issue de son album, Ten Summoner's Tales, sorti en 1993. La chanson a été écrite par son guitariste Dominic Miller. Ce titre a été utilisé pour le générique de fin du film de Luc Besson, Léon avec Jean Réno et Natalie Portman.
Sting, de son vrai nom Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner, né le 2 octobre 1951 à Wallsend, près de Newcastle (nord de l'Angleterre), est un musicien et chanteur anglais, et occasionnellement acteur de cinéma. Avant sa carrière solo, il était le chanteur et bassiste du groupe The Police.

He deals the cards as a meditation
And those he plays never suspect
He doesn't play for the money he wins
He don't play for respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of a 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
If I told her 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
But those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who fear 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
That's not the shape
The shape of my heart
