| Keane – Bedshaped Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
The meaning behind 'Bedshaped' has been confirmed by Tim Rice-Oxley in a recent interview :) The lyrics refer to old friends or girlfriends he knew in his 'old town' who inevitably moved away or he drifted away from over time. The song is about this drifting from people he used to know and reflects the slight hope that one day they will meet again in the future (you will knock on my door, and up we'll go) when they are too old to be moving around and travelling. 'Bedshaped', Rice-Oxley says, is a term his mother used to use in reference to hospital patients who had been in bed so long they'd lost their mobility and where in fact, shaped like a bed. In the song it is used to suggest old age, when people may also be in a similar state of restricted movement. |
