Ed Sheeran triumphed at this year's Brits scooping not one but two awards for 'Best Male Artist' and 'Best British Breakthrough Act'. 21 year old Ed made a huge impact on the UK singles charts in 2011 with debut single and No.3 hit 'The A Team', followed by 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You' which peaked at No.4 – he then continued the charge with 'Lego House' which scored him a No.5 smash in November 2011.
Lego House
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you
And 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 I 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, now
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
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
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
Don't hold me down
I think my braces are breaking
And it's more than I can take
And it's dark in a cold December
But I've got ya to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya
And I 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
And out of all these things I've done
I will love you better now
In Ed Sheeran's song Lego House, he uses the metaphor of building a Lego house to represent building a relationship with someone he loves. The lyrics suggest that things may not always go as planned, and problems may arise, but they can always be fixed or rebuilt. This is demonstrated in the lines, "When things go wrong we can knock it down" and "If you're broken I'll mend ya." Sheeran also declares his love in the lines, "And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now," and "I'll do it all for you in time."
One of the most interesting things about this song is that the music video features Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, who bears a striking resemblance to Ed Sheeran. Additionally, the song was written by Sheeran when he was just 17 years old, and it was initially meant to be given to boy band One Direction. Sheeran later decided to keep the song for himself when he realized how personal the lyrics were to him.
Another fascinating aspect of the song is the line, "Don't hold me down, I think my braces are breaking." Sheeran has stated that this was a reference to his own experience of having braces on his teeth. He apparently wrote the line during a live show, after feeling the braces move around in his mouth.
Finally, the chords to the song are as follows:
Verse: C, G, Am, F
Chorus: C, G, Am, F
Overall, the lyrics to Lego House tell a story of love, resilience, and rebuilding. The metaphor of building and rebuilding a Lego house is a clever way to express this sentiment, and the song is one of Ed Sheeran's most beloved works.
