| @[mysenseofmind:2626] I love how you see this song. Makes me want to cry because I sent this song to a guy a like. And your interpretation describes me perfectly and how I see him. | |

See my interpretation below in the post below. But FYI -- this song was first used in THREE OF HEARTS with Billy Baldwin, not The Professional. Billy played a gigolo who fell in love with some woman (I forget the whole storyline). Anyway, this actually kind of supports my interpretation about this song being about LOVE. |

This is song is about LOVE. About how meeting people and not knowing if they're the one--your one love, or ultimate, or last love, or some kind of love is like playing cards --sometimes you're lucky and sometimes you're not--it's a game of chance. The people you meet are like the cards that you're dealt. You think you have a winning hand and lose in end. Or you think you have a bad hand and win. That's what love relationships are like, if you think about it. He plays not to win money but to find how many hands (or people) must you be dealt before you win: "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" He doesn't know how his current woman feels, but wants to tell her he loves her anyway, taking a chance: "And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong"... ..."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"... --- Again, taking a chance. You don't know how the other truly feels. You can guess they love you back. You "speak" or tell them you love them and find out if they love you in return. It's at your cost because you open yourself up by saying "I love you" first, and if they don't--you're the one wounded. You curse your luck or afterwards fear and are lost. All the other metaphors--clubs (weapons of war), diamonds (money)--queens "laid" (prob lots of women/sex)--he says I'm not playing the game for that--that's not what I'm searching for. The shape of my heart is love. It seems he's been playing this game of finding love for so long that he doesn't even hide what he's ultimately looking for too much---"I'm not a man of too many faces, my mask is one". He might even be telling women he loves them too soon (hence he thinks "if I told you that I loved you, you'd maybe think there's something wrong"). I've loved this song since it first came out when I was in college. Now I believe I know what it means, and it makes me a bit sad, lol. |

He's talking to himself. Do you know where your heart is Do you think you can find it Did you trade it for something, somewhere Better just to have it Do you know where your love is Do you think that you lost it You felt it so strong but nothings Turned out how you want it And then he says back in response to himself, no, I'm fine because "all i need is the air i breathe and a place to rest my head". Like he's trying to convince himself he doesn't need anything more than that to live. He's that broken-hearted. And as the song gets more intense, it's like he's screaming it to himself. But underneath, he knows he's fooling himself. "Do you think you can find it?" No matter how much he says he'll be fine without love, underneath he still hopes to find it. It's very sad. And where I am in my life right now. It's about being hurt so much, you try to convince yourself you survive without it. That you're fine alone. |
