Shape of my Heart (Lyrics) [Sting]

The lyrics to "Shape of my Heart" by Sting on the Ten Summoner's Tales album.
This is what Sting said in his lyrics book:
"Dominic Miller, an extraordinary musician and a dear friend, has been my guitarist since 1990. One day a week, he'd come down to visit me at Lake House and we'd try out rough song ideas that either of us had had in the interim. During one of these visits, he turned up with a beautiful guitar riff. I was very taken by it, and he and I worked on shaping it into a song for the rest of the morning.
That afternoon, he asked me what I thought the song would be about. I said I didn't know, but I would take a walk and try to figure it out. I took off along the riverbank for a mile or so, through the woods and up to the sheep meadow, then headed back as the sun was dipping to the west.
When I got back, the whole song was written in my head.
Dominic now thinks that I find lyrics under a rock somewhere....
He could, of course, be right."

Like this video (or dislike it, if you must), comment, share it, or even tell me which Sting song I should do next. In whatever case, thanks so much for watching.

Unbelievable how many Sting's songs I have heard in my childhood without knowing it was Sting - until today.

I think the song is about logic not being the definitive measure of why one does something or not. It's a critique of social expectations and pressures, as well as an exploration of what it means to be human and what we present ourselves as. The masks are the ones we put on to rationalize events and feelings that we're otherwise afraid to admit aren't in our control, and perhaps never will, in order to shelter us from painful truths. But ultimately, they're not the 'shape of our hearts'.
