Shape of my heart

"What the heck are you talking about? It's very cool you know! Just deal a card, wear a mask, and say that I love you. But, what's hidden in this song? I just feel something fishy around this song."

That is my response at the first time I heard the song. I just feel something's hidden between this three KEYWORD. I just think about it every moment when I hear this song. It just chain each other. Make it to be meaningful for me.


First, the CARD.
The song tells us about "He". He plays card, but not for money or respect. So, he just play without any destination? Just play for a meditation and an answer? How Come? How about the answer? What is the geometry of chance? The hidden law of probable outcome? And how can be the numbers to lead a dance? Is he play while he is dancing? Many mystery about this one. If you shuffle the card and deal it, you will get a card that different with the second time you do this. Maybe He want to reveals the probability of card that he deals, randomly. He may play the jack of diamonds, or lay the queen of spades, or conceal a king, but his memory of "it" fades. What memory? I don't know what he mean by "it". But the mean of all card is in the refrain. He makes the symbol in the card into something different. The spades are the sword, The clubs are the weapon of war, the diamonds mean money, but he not tell about heart. He just say that the three symbol is not the shape of his heart. Maybe he mean that this "art" has his heart. Maybe he just want to try his luck. Maybe...

Second, the MASK.

It says that he is falling in love to someone and he say "I love you". But he is pretending that she is thinking about something that going wrong. He thinking like that because he wear a mask, and (maybe) she think that he wear a hundred mask. I'm just wandering, why is he say that he just wear a mask, not a face. If he wear a mask, that mean he have a double face. And it can be a half to her and a half to something different. Maybe to his "heart"? 

I just thinking. What is this song's true meaning? Card and love? Maybe those two thing have similarity.

1. Card and love are random, blind. It can give you heart to love you, or maybe spade to pierce you.
2. Both of them are not absolute. It is the thing that the song tell in the first time you hear it. Probability. It can take you up to ace of heart, or maybe bring you down to ace of spade.
3. Both of them are taking cost to yourself. It can be respect, money, or maybe a heart.
4. Both of them can stab you from behind. It can be happen because of mask, lie, etc.

Things are going worse if the card in your heart is club, spade, or diamond. But if you take the heart card to your heart, things are going to change. Maybe good, maybe neutral, or maybe bad. 'Cause this life is a card.
