Cover art for Pirate Bones lyrics by Natasha Bedingfield

What I think this song means is that she doesn’t want to conform, because she might make other people happy but at what cost, her happiness? Yeah she might make other people happy but she won’t be happy and she doesn’t want to end u p empty. “Its not worth that much to me If losing out is what it means This way may shallow victory Is empty Empty Its just not worth the prize Its only a fools pirate dies If its draining every drop of lies Til I'm dry”

But that’s just what I think it means! : )
