The Police's Synchronicity Tour ran between July 23, 1983 and March 4, 1984.
During the early dates, the band resided at a mansion in Bridgehampton, New York and were flown to the concerts. This was the band's final tour as a working unit and one of the highest-grossing tours of the 1980's.
"I was never relaxed," drummer Stewart Copeland recalled. "I had so much anxiety. And I know how crazy that must sound to people who do real jobs." Copeland did however cite the August 18 show at Shea Stadium as the peak of "Policemania": "Playing Shea Stadium was big because, even though I'm a septic tank (rhyming slang for 'Yank'), The Police is an English band and I'm a Londoner – an American Londoner – so it felt like conquering America."
The November 2 and 3 shows in Atlanta were filmed and recorded for a live album and DVD.
"Wrapped Around Your Finger" is the ninth track from the fifth and final studio album by the Police titled "Synchronicity," recorded at AIR Studios, Montserrat between December 1982 – February 1983 and released on June 17, 1983. The overdubs were done at Le Studio in Quebec during January–February 1983.
Like other tracks on Synchronicity, such as "Every Breath You Take" and "King of Pain," "Wrapped Around Your Finger" was a personal song for Sting. He said in an interview, "'Every Breath You Take,' 'Wrapped Around Your Finger' were all about my life."
Sting described "Wrapped Around Your Finger" as "a spiteful song about turning the tables on someone who had been in charge." Like other Police songs from this period, it features mythological and literary references, including the Scylla and Charybdis monsters of Greek mythology, and the German legend of Faust. It has a relatively slow, almost foreboding feel in the beginning verses, modulating to evoke a lighter, triumphant feel during the chorus.
The story of Faust is a classic German legend about a scholar who makes a deal with the Devil, a tale that inspired Thomas Mann's 1947 novel Doctor Faustus. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is a poem written in 1797 by German poet Goethe, which follows a young apprentice's dubious decision to try his hand at magic while the sorcerer is away. The story was adapted for Disney's Fantasia.
The line "Caught between Scylla and Charibdes" is a reference to Greek mythology. Scylla was a nymph who was turned into a six-headed monster by Circe. She lived on the Straits of Messina and destroyed any boats that passed by. Across from Scylla was a whirlpool where the a monster named Charibdes lived. Sailors going between them were usually killed. Odysseus made it, which is described in the book The Odyssey.
"Mephistopheles," as heard in the line, "Mephistopheles is not your name," is another name for the Devil.
As he did on "King Of Pain," drummer Stewart Copeland played a mallet part "as an additive, as a bit of decoration." When The Police played the song live though, it was with much more elaborate percussion: Copeland would leave his kit and step into a rig with crotales, timpani, a gong, and just about anything else he could strike with a stick. It was an impressive display and a great showcase for Copeland, who is a multifaceted percussionist.
This song is vaguely alchemical and probably about a friend of mine, a professional psychic and my tutor in tarot, with bits of Doctor Faustus and The Sorcerer's Apprentice thrown into the pot for good measure. — Sting
I have researched the meaning of the lyrics in depth, and have found many interpretations available. I believe this is one of those songs that can have many interpretations that can be equally valid, depending on the listener's own life experiences.
