The story behind the song

This song is a personal reflection, described by Sting as a "spiteful song about turning the tables on someone who had been in charge." It draws on mythological and literary references, including the Greek monsters Scylla and Charybdis, the German legend of Faust, and even alludes to a professional psychic and tutor. The music itself mirrors this shift in power, starting with a slow, almost foreboding feel in the verses before moving to a lighter, triumphant mood in the chorus. It's a journey from being controlled to taking control.
