My InterpretationMy interpretation of Lego House is that is about a guy who has stuffed up really badly in his relationship with his girlfriend, they've broken up and now he wants her back.

'I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a lego house, if things go wrong we can knock it down' (in my opinion this is the man's words trying to convince his ex that they should try again, what have they got to lose?)

'My three words have two meanings' (he means 'i love you' but i don't know what the two meanings are.)

'but there's one thing on my mind' (his ex)

'it's all for you' (all his love is for her)

'And it's dark in a cold December,
but I've got ya to keep me warm (he depends on her)

and if you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now' (he's saying that she can rely on him)

'I'm out of touch, I'm out of love' (he's out of touch with the girl he had an affair with and he's called it all off with her)

"I'll pick you up when you getting down' (He's saying he wants to take care of her again)

'and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now' (after all the cheating, the girlfriend finding out and breaking up with him, he realises that he needs her and loves her more than anything, so he will be a better boyfriend than before.)

'I'm gonna paint you by numbers
and colour you in' (He'll make her really happy)

'If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall' (If things go ok in the relationship he might propose)

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before (Maybe he has cheated before)

and I will surrender up my heart
and swap it for yours (He says now that he has changed and he would give anything to have her and her love back)

Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking
and it's more than I can take
(I'm not really sure what is meant here but maybe it is his pleas as he so desperately wants to get back together with her. The waiting for her answer is torturing him. Or maybe it is the fact that she said no to getting back together?)

In the last chorus where he says "I will love you better now' he is saying that he knows that he will remain faithful to her and will love no one but her.

Anyways this is my interpretation of the amazing song Lego House by Ed Sheeran. I hope it makes sense.

Also in the part where he says

'I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind' (maybe he means that the other girl doesn't try to make contact with him anymore.)

'I'll do it all for you in time' (maybe he isn't really ready or he isn't sure he can make her the happiest she can be.)

I wouldn't disagree with your interpretation at all. It's brilliant. SUCH a great song.

I would like to suggest that 'paint you by numbers' could also possibly mean that he would do as she wished; do whatever it took to make their relationship as perfect as she'd like it ; do anything to please her.

Also with the 'out of touch; out of love' I don't think it's regarding another conquest.. i think it's still in reference to The Girl in the sense that he's either A- lost actual contact with her and is yearning for her to come back.. or B- that without her he feels out of sorts, thus out of touch. which then leaves him 'out of love'

and finally, im not so sure to say he's propose with the 'put it on a wall' - but i do believe he's saying that they'd work at it; as one would with any piece of art; and they'll build it into something they appreciate, so figuratively something good enough to be framed.

Wow, I never thought about it that way! I totally agree with you especially the "put you on a wall" thing. Thanks!

That's an amazing interpretation; I love it. The first few lines has my mind twirling. I totally agree with your analysis, and the "what do we have to lose" part of it got me thinking about Legos. The thing about lego houses is that to make one, in the end, sure, you have one big house, but to get there you have to put together hundreds of little pieces, and even then, that makes the house much less permanent, in a way, much easier to tear down. Maybe that was intentional, in a sense that we can try to rebuild this house, and if we don't like it, it's not permanent anyway. Then my mind unraveled some more. What are all the pieces? Actions? Memories? Any thoughts? I'd love to brainstorm a bit.

My InterpretationI'm going to frame my observations in light of not only the lyrics but also the music video. While the video depecits an obssessed stalker/fan, I'm going to choose to look at it as someone unhappy with who they are and longing to be someone better. In the vein of a stalker then you've got someone trying to take over someone else's life as their own in an unhealthy kind of way but the core concept is a quite normal one. If you don't like who you are, change.

Judging from the video, the character played by Grint is either singing this song to Sheeran or he isn't. If he isn't, then he's singng it to himself - or some version of himself - possibly a version of himself he wants to be. I would propose that every time he used the word 'we' that it is meant to imply himself now and himself in the future, together, the pair of them. "I'll do it all for you in time" could easily be a promise to himself in the future. In time everything I do will cause you to exist in more than my desires, I will be the man I want to be and looking back I will be able to see all the things I've done have led me to where I am.

"It's so hard to say it but I've been here before and I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours" is just another way of saying that so far his efforts have led him back to his old ways again and again, but he's willing to trade all the things that he currently cares about (his heart) for the things he wants to be able to say he cares about in the future. You could wrap up a lot into the phrase 'cares about': people, addictions, habits. Sometimes the person you want to be doesn't have ties to the things you yourself currently have ties to.

"If you're broken I'll mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now. I'll pick you up when you're getting down. " The use of 'we' and 'you' can get vague and tricky when talking about yourself in seperate time periods. And ths line introduces a third 'persona' of self. Kind of an outside controlling entity. In order to create person B from person A there must be a person C to orchestrate the change. 'If (you in the now) are broken I (the one in charge) will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now. I'll (the one in charge) pick you up when you're (in the now) getting down.' You could argue that the controlling persona is an abstraction in the now of the person he wants to be in the future.

I know right now I've lost some of you, but how different is this than telling yourself to buck up after something personally devestating happens. You might be wrecked. And you know you need to not be wrecked, but you feel wrecked, so you tell yourself to buck up and straighten up and you do. Persona A turns into Persona B through the controlling influence of Persona C.

"Out of touch, out of love, out of sight, out of mind" is how he will seem once he achieves his goals in the future. This is how I was - best not to think of it anymore, things are better now.

"I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in", Painting by numbers is an act of creation. Creation by the book, according to the plan. He's going to create this future self by his plan(s) and "If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall". If it works out right it'll be worthy for display, a finished product, he can cease his efforts of creating this person he wants to be because he will have succeeded and become that person.

And as far as the phrase '"Out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now", he's sayingthat even though he might not be there yet. and though he may have failed on numerous occassions to invoke the exact changes he desires in his own life, he's happier with the result now than with what he had before. Like a Lego House, anything that isn't satisfactoy will be broken and restructured the next time around.

As a closing thought, the three words with two meanings. I believe the words are obviously 'I love you'. And in light of my interpretation here I would say the two meanings are the love he has for himself as a being (ie he's not suicidal or anything, he loves himself too much to do anything stupid, etc) and he also loves himself too much to let himself stay the way he is. A love that sees the potential for something better. A self version of the old concept "I love you for who you are, but I love you too much to let you keep doing what you're doing (to yourself)."

@UnderTruth I really like your interpretation of the song and how it ties in with the music video so well. There's something special and incredibly meaningful about the music video that he has for this song, which very clearly shows that it's not about a situation as simple as a broken relationship. Your explanation has done both the song and the video justice :)

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now, now

I'm gonna paint you by numbers and colour you in
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before
Now I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours

Don't hold me down, I think the braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind,
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down

[Album version ending:]
And out of all these things I've done, I will love you better now

[Music video version ending:]
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now

The idea behind this song was explained by Ed Sheeran, who said, "'Lego House' is about a break-up and it was me using the metaphor of Lego. You spend so long putting Lego together and if you drop it on the floor, within an instant it's broken, and it takes a while to put it back together."

Jake Gosling, one of the co-authors of this track, explained his approach to writing by saying, "The concept was about how simple love can be, in terms of you can build it up as much as you can easily knock it down. It was trying to look at love, I guess, from a childish point of view."

With this song Ed Sheeran drew the attention of Taylor Swift, who contacted him after she heard the song. Sheeran and Swift ended up collaborating on her song "Everything Has Changed".

The music video features actor Rupert Grint, known for his role in the film series about Harry Potter.

Don't hold me down, I think the braces are breaking and it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on.

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind,
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I’m out of touch, I’m out of love
I’ll pick you up when you’re getting down
And out of all these things I’ve done, I will love you better now

Я собираюсь собрать частички и построить домик из лего.
Если что-то пойдет не так, мы можем с легкостью его разрушить.
Мои три слова имеют два значения, но в моей голове только одно :
«Все только для тебя».

Такой темный и холодный декабрь, но у меня есть ты, согревающая меня.
Если ты будешь разбита, я исправлю это и защищу от бушующего шторма.

Я потерян в жизни, мне не хватает любви.
Я буду поддерживать тебя, когда понадобится.
И после всего, что я натворил, мне кажется я люблю тебя намного больше.
Я потерян в жизни, запутался в мыслях.
Со временем, я сделаю все для тебя.
И после всего, что я натворил, мне кажется я люблю тебя намного больше.

Я нарисую тебя во всех подробностях и раскрашу в цвета.
Если все будет хорошо, мы поместим это в рамку и повесим на стену.
Так трудно сказать, но я проходил это уже раньше.
Теперь я отдам тебе сердце и заменю твоим.

Не держи меня, кажется связывающие нас ниточки рвутся.
И это выше моих сил.

Я потерян в жизни, мне не хватает любви.
Я буду поддерживать тебя, когда понадобиться.
И после всего, что я натворил, мне кажется я люблю тебя намного больше.
Я потерян в жизни, запутался в мыслях.
Со временем, я сделаю все для тебя.
И после всего, что я натворил, мне кажется я люблю тебя намного больше.
Я потерян в жизни, мне не хватает любви.
Я буду поддерживать тебя, когда понадобиться.
И после всего, что я натворил, мне кажется я люблю тебя намного больше.

before watching the video i thought it was about a boy who is madly in love with his friend ("my three words have two meanings but there's one thing on my mind" wich means that when he says 'i love you' to this girl she thinks that he means it in a friendly way but what he truly mean is that she is the love of his life) and he's ready to do anything to make her happy and to be the best he can for her but then when i watched the video i understood that ed sheeran was talking about a fan (and he used the first person to give the song more emotion) lego house is the relation ship between the fan and the idol because a fan build the success of the singer through voting for him, buying his albums when ed says "I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind" it shows that it's about a fan because the idols most of the time are ignorant of the existance of a fan and then he says "i'll do it all for you in time" means even though the fan is aware that he doesn't represent anything for his idole he is still going to help him whenever he needs help. but the fan is strugling her/his own life so he surrender up his heart and swap it for ed's and lives the life of his idole to escape his own misery.

2 TOP RATED

Lego House by Ed Sheeran is a actually a lyrics poem but isn't read as a poem since Ed is a singer. This song is metaphorical, it is not really talking about Lego. Lego, in this context,represents the breaking of a relationship. While the whole lego house symbolises a sustained relationship. "I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a lego house, if things wrong we can knock it down". This verse/stanza simply means I am going to mend our relationship by sustaining the broken pieces of our relationship and if things go wrong we can break our relationship.

3 TOP RATED

I don't think this song is about a romantic relationship, friendship, or internal struggle. It's about all of them at once. Sometimes the "weakest" parts of us/the other person are also the most important, and learning how to love those parts is necessary but can take retrospect and time. they make us who we are. Additionally, IMO this is not one person (or part of a person) singing, but 2 "parts" at once with certain lines relating to 1 or the other, as a struggle by definition is never 1 sided. I've include a personal example of my own below. and could just have easily written similar comments about my own struggle internally. As much as I comment on myself, it is becuase I cannot speak from her side, and the entire song is a testament to her patience and internal beauty, and how much we now care about each other because of this. It's about her.

I met my girlfriend "in a cold December" where she just wanted me to keep her warm after a breakup. Little did she know was I going through a battle inside as well, with heavy drinking being the easiest out, but drinking was not the problem. It was internal pain and anxiety. Fortunately she stuck with me through this, and I think we both love each other more now because of the struggle we both went through and still are.

“I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down”

(ME) After rehab I was not totally myself, and exploring a new world after being “exposed”. Being a perfectionist and engineer I always figured there was an "equation" to fix me. The anxiety of not being able to build the lego house perfectly on the first attempt would have been too much. Having a calming person with me to let me know that it was not a quick fix and wouldn’t be easy, made it easier to fight through failure

“My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you”

I love you = you love I (me)

“And it's dark (started) in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now”

The quickened pace refers to a flashback (in this case my GF) she just wanted a warm body after her most recent break up (in a December). It turns out we were more than that, but at the same time I was broken and a burden. I hide at her apartment from the world for 2 months, but she never fed my anxiety and still can’t explain why she wanted to help me. She let me take myself to the “bottom” where a stubborn person like me could only be fixed. She calmed the raging anxiety (storm) within.

“I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now”

*after rehab
(HER now) I don’t understand this, I’m breaking down too (you’re not where I expected)
but I’m still here to calm the storm and comfort the pain.
*2 options; or both
1. I’ve done so much for you, and aside from whether you appreciate it, I know I’m a good person
2. This has been so hard, but I knew I saw something in the darkness. He makes you who you are and I love both the new and old you.

"I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now"

Ditto….. I knew this person was there and he was worth the effort…. Ditto also means the other person is saying it now too

“I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in
If things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall”

(HER) Back to the original problem, as much as a perfectionist I know he is, I thought I could change his mind with my “equation” because something was flawed with his. Mine will fix him for sure, and I get both parts of him.

"And it's so hard to say it but I've been “STUCK AT 4”
And I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours"

OK, I admit this isn’t what I was expecting….my last shot is to put my pride aside…. I need to look from your eyes. “Maybe you entered your darkness because of your light”

“I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now”

Beat picks up here… happiness shows itself.

“I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now”

"Don't hold me down,
I think my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take"

“And if it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broken I'll mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now”
fairly self-explanatory…. peace

Перевод на русский или английский язык текста песни — Lego House исполнителя Ed Sheeran:

Я собираюсь взять на себя ответственность,
и построить лего дом
когда дела идут плохо, мы можем сбить его

Мои три слова имеют два значения,
есть одна вещь, на мой взгляд,
Все для тебя

И это темно в холодном декабре, но у меня есть Я., чтобы держать меня тепло
и если ты на мели я буду чинить я, и держать вас в защищенном от шторма, который бушует на

Я оторвана, я из-за любви
Я заберу тебя, когда вы получаете вниз
и всех этих вещей, которые я сделал, я думаю, что я люблю тебя лучше сейчас

Я из виду, я из ума
Я буду делать все это для вас во времени
И из всех этих вещей, которые я сделал, я думаю, что я люблю тебя лучше сейчас

Я буду рисовать тебя по номерам
и цветовую гамму, в
если дела идти правильно, мы можем сформулировать его, и поставить вас на стене

И это так трудно сказать, но я был здесь раньше
и я сдамся мое сердце
и поменять его на твой

Не держите меня
Я думаю, что мои брекеты ломаются, и это больше, чем я могу взять

И если это темно в холодном декабре, у меня есть я, чтобы держать меня тепло
и если ты на мели я буду чинить я, и держать вас в защищенном от шторма, который бушует на
