Bedshaped

Estaba escuchando una canción de Kean y me entró la duda sobre la palabra "bedshaped", evidentemente no es un apalabra que exista en el diccionario. Me gustaría saber que interpretación le dan a esta palabra.

Saludos.

'bedshaped' es dos palabras: 'bed shaped', y significa la forma de una cama. en la cancion, la chica esta formado como una cama. no se por que y ingles es mi idioma primera!

Maybe it means, I haven't heard the song though, that she is a girl that can only be taken to bed, not a girl you can introduce to your family as a girlfriend (?)
Or maybe her body is literally square as a bed.

Encontré "bedshaped" como "desamparada", maybe because you have suffered so much you spend most of your time crying in bed and now you are "bedshaped".
Does that sound better?

Tim Rice-Oxley (singer in Keane)

"The song is about feeling that you've been 'left behind' by an old friend or lover, and about hoping that you'll be reunited one day so that you can live out the end of your lives together the same way you started them. When someone is ill and has to spend a lot of time in a hospital bed they can become 'bedshaped'. It sounds depressing... but in the context of the song I wanted to suggest old age and frailty"

That's not right, but it's pretty funny!

Dani dónde encontraste eso? Yo nunca pude encontrar el meaning. Y recuerdo que una vez le pregunté a una amiga americana y no supo contestarme exactamente cual podría llegar a ser el significado.

Bedshaped by Keane Songfacts

For sure it is not right, but definitely funny interpretation.

this may be a pun on "badshaped".

I guess we need to thank scorchio for sending us Tim Rice-Oxley's own vision of the subject. However, I am not sure whether it is Tim's voice, who is actually the pianist, or the one from Tom Chaplin, the regular singer for Keane...

gentle, are you asking who sings this particular song o who explained what "bedshaped" means for him?
According to the link I posted, it is Tim's vision and he is the one who composed this song 3 years prior to the release of the album.

Who explained that!?

Tim explained and composed the song

Thanks Dani!

Yeap...but it's Tom Chaplin's voice ;-) I heard him live.

I wish I could heard him live!
