Natasha's single "Unwritten" was featured in the movie "The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants" and many different television adverts. It also served as theme song for the hit MTV reality series "The Hills."

Natasha has just released her second album, N.B. and the lead single is the hit, I Wanna Have Your Babies.

Her latest offering ‘Say It Again', the third single to be taken from her critically acclaimed chart topping second album 'N.B', is no exception to this rule. Natasha Bedingfield co-wrote ‘Say It Again’ with Adam Levine (Maroon 5), and co-produced it with Mike Ellizondo (Dr Dre, Alanis Morisette).

Another song that has gotten international acclaim is pocketful of sunshine. DSTV has used it for promoting their station.

Peace of Me
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing still but still moving
Lying down but not resting
Breathing air, suffocating
All the while, I'm debating

Life was never what I thought
Never what I wanted it to be

Had a plan, couldn't follow
Had a dream, it was hollow
Everywhere felt like nowhere
Everything was so boring

Life was never what I wanted
Never what I thought
Until you came and turned it all around

Oh, you found the peace of me
It was missing; it was broken
You put soul into it
Oh, you found the whole of me
I was empty, now I'm better
All my peace is back together

Restless ways for a living
Fitting in 'cause I was driven
Saying yes when I meant no
Holding on, should've let go

I was scattered all around
Left shattered on the ground
You picked me up

All I wanted was a little bit of hope
Couldn't find it
You showed me something
That I never knew I owned
You put a light to it

Oh, you found the peace of me
It was missing; it was broken
You put soul into it
Oh, you found the whole of me
I was empty, now I'm better
'Cause you pieced me back together

What a life, always tried
What a life, lived without you
Don't leave me, and I won't
Fall apart, I won't leave you
And it's cold and I'm blind
And I would and it feels good
What a waste on my mind
Every time, all the time

Oh, you found the whole of me
It was missing; it was broken
You put soul into it
Oh, you found the whole of me

I was empty, now I'm better
'Cause you pieced me back together

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Natasha Bedingfield's "Peace of Me" reveal the internal turmoil of the singer's mind. They are standing still but still feel like they're moving, as they are experiencing a restlessness that is confusing them. Everything in their life feels monotonous and uninteresting, making them suffocate even when they're breathing. They further confess feeling lost and directionless as they couldn't follow their plan or dream. Life wasn't what they wanted or hoped for, until someone special brought them peace and helped them see the good in life again. This person found the peace that was missing from the singer, pieced them back together, and helped them to become whole once again.

The verse "what a life, always tried, what a life, lived without you," highlights the connection between the singer and the person who has brought them peace. The singer felt that they had tried, but it felt useless until they found someone who made them feel complete. The song's message is that we all need someone who can help us find our peace of mind and make us feel whole, and often it takes another person to help us realize what was missing.

Line by Line Meaning

Standing still but still moving
Feeling stagnant but life is still happening

Lying down but not resting
Physical rest but mental unrest

Breathing air, suffocating
Existing while feeling trapped

All the while, I'm debating
Thinking and questioning everything

Life was never what I thought
Expectations of life were not met

Never what I wanted it to be
Lacking fulfillment and satisfaction

Had a plan, couldn't follow
Difficulty in achieving goals

Had a dream, it was hollow
Aspirations felt empty and meaningless

Everywhere felt like nowhere
Emptiness and lack of purpose in surroundings

Everything was so boring
Lack of excitement and interest in life

Until you came and turned it all around
Meeting someone who changed everything

Oh, you found the peace of me
Partner helped find inner peace

It was missing; it was broken
Lacking and damaged without partner's help

You put soul into it
Partner infused life with meaning and spirit

Oh, you found the whole of me
Partner helped complete and fulfill life

I was empty, now I'm better
Feeling fulfilled and whole with partner

All my peace is back together
Inner peace has been restored

Restless ways for a living
Living life in a constant state of unease

Fitting in 'cause I was driven
Conforming to society's expectations to succeed

Saying yes when I meant no
Pleasing others at the expense of personal desires

Holding on, should've let go
Reluctance to move on from unfulfilling situations

I was scattered all around
Life was disorganized and chaotic

Left shattered on the ground
Felt broken and lost

You picked me up
Partner provided support and guidance

All I wanted was a little bit of hope
Desire for a positive outlook

Couldn't find it
Struggled to find positivity alone

You showed me something
Partner introduced me to positivity

That I never knew I owned
Discovered own potential for positivity

You put a light to it
Partner helped illuminate positivity

What a life, always tried
Life was a constant struggle

What a life, lived without you
Life before partner felt unfulfilling

Don't leave me, and I won't
Mutual dependence in the relationship

Fall apart, I won't leave you
Dependence prevents falling apart

And it's cold and I'm blind
Feeling lost and helpless

And I would and it feels good
Partner's presence is fulfilling

What a waste on my mind
Previous negative thoughts and feelings were a waste

Every time, all the time
Continuously and consistently feeling fulfilled with partner

'Cause you pieced me back together
Partner brought fulfillment and wholeness to my life
