Unwritten
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah
I break tradition
Sometimes my tries, are outside the lines, oh yeah-yeah-yeah
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way, no, no

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Yeah, yeah
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, here we go
Mmm, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh yeah, mmm

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
hey!

No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten, yeah, mmm
The rest is still unwritten

Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh

The rest is still unwritten

Overall Meaning

The song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield is about embracing life and taking one's own path toward success. Bedingfield sings about the idea that life is like a blank page or untold story, waiting for the individual to write it. She uses the metaphor of the pen and the blank paper, “I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined, I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned.” And encourages the listener to start writing their own story, making their life their own by breaking conventions and living with open arms.


Throughout the song, Bedingfield calls for the listener to let go of their fears and release their inhibitions, “Staring at the blank page before you, Open up the dirty window, Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find, Reaching for something in the distance, So close you can almost taste it, Release your inhibitions”. She stresses the point that, ultimately, only the individual can make their life what they want it to be, “No one else can feel it for you, Only you can let it in, No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips”.


The song "Unwritten" has a positive and uplifting message that speaks to a wide audience. It encourages people to live life their own way and follow their dreams and desires.
