Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
Feet don't fail me now
Take me to the finish line
Oh my heart it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping at the gates
They'll tell me that your mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design
I feel so alone on a friday night
Can you make it feel like home
If I tell you you're mine
It's like I told you honey
Don't make me sad
Don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough I don't know why
Keep making me laugh
Lets go get high
The road is long we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Because you and I
We were born to die
Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Trying to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers honey
Don't make me sad
Don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough I don't know why
Keep making me laugh
Lets go get high
The road is long we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Because you and I
We were born to die
We were born to die
We were born to die
Come take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Don't make me sad
Don't make me cry
Sometimes love is not enough
And the road gets tough I don't know why
Keep making me laugh
Lets go get high
The road is long we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Because you and I
We were born to die
We were born to die...
"Born to Die" is about making the most of life while accepting that death is inevitable. She contrasts glamorous, wild experiences with the harsh reality of death, singing "Come and take a walk on the wild side / Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain / You like your girls insane" and then pointing out that we all have a limited time here and should make the most of it before it's too late: "Choose your last words, this is the last time / 'Cause you and I- we were born to die". Ultimately, she is encouraging the listener to have fun, as life is too short to waste.
