Straight to My Heart
Sting Sting Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They will attempt to tell us how
A scientific means to bliss
Will supersede the human kiss
A sub atomic chain
Will maybe galvanize the brain
A biochemic trance
Will eliminate romance
When there are arrows in the air
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart
A future sugar coated pill
Would give our lovers time to kill
I think they're working far too much
For the redundancy of touch
But what will make me yours
Are a million deadly spores
Formed by lovers' ancient art
That go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you
If it's a future world we fear
We have tomorrow's seeds right here
For you can hold them in your hand
Or let them fall into the sand
But if our love is pure
The only thing of which we're sure
Then you can play your part
And go straight to my heart
If I should seek immunity
And love you with impunity
Then the only thing to do
Is for me to pledge myself to you
But they only dealt one card
So for me it is not hard
You're the bright star in my chart
You go straight to my heart
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
You'll never have to sweep the floor
Come into my door
Be the light of my life
Come into my door
Come and be my wife
I'll be true. To no one but you
In Sting's song "Straight To My Heart," the lyrics explore the timeless power of love and human connection in a world that seems to be increasingly driven by technology and scientific advancements. The opening lines suggest that in the future, there may be attempts to replace the human experience of love and intimacy with scientific means, such as a pill or a biochemical trance. However, the singer questions the need for such advancements when the ancient and natural art of love, represented by the metaphorical arrows in the air, can still penetrate straight to the heart.
The lyrics emphasize the importance of touch and physical connection, highlighting the redundancy of replacing it with technological substitutes. The mention of deadly spores suggests that love can be dangerous and unpredictable, yet it remains an integral part of the human experience. The chorus speaks directly to the power of love, inviting someone to enter the singer's life and become their light, their partner, and their spouse. The overarching message of the song is that love is enduring and surpasses any technological advancements, creating a deep and lasting bond between two people.

Because you can physically possess them
Or let them fall into the sand
Or let them go to waste and be forgotten
But if our love is pure
But if our love is genuine and untainted
The only thing of which we're sure
The only thing we can be certain of
Then you can play your part
Then you can fulfill your role
And go straight to my heart
And deeply touch my heart
If I should seek immunity
If I were to search for exemption
And love you with impunity
And love you without any consequences
Then the only thing to do
Then the best course of action
Is for me to pledge myself to you
Is for me to commit and devote myself to you
But they only dealt one card
But they have only provided one option
So for me it is not hard
So it is not difficult for me
You're the bright star in my chart
You are the guiding light in my life
You go straight to my heart
You deeply touch my heart
Come into my door
Enter my life
Be the light of my life
Be the guiding force and happiness in my life
You'll never have to sweep the floor
You won't have to worry about mundane tasks
Come and be my wife
Come and be my partner for life
I'll be true. To no one but you
I will be faithful and loyal only to you
