Born To Die

[Your Girl Lana 546]

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 you're 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
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and 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
'Cause 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
Tried 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
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and 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
'Cause you and I
We were born to die
We were born to die
We were born to die

Come and 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
Let's go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and 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
'Cause you and I
We were born to die
We were born to die
We were born to die
We were born to die
We were born to die

[Lana Del Rey 752]

Thankyou, I need this for my singing lesson tomorrow :')

I didn't see this song in the Lyrics section, so I started a new thread.

 

In Born To Die, at the beginning, after Lana whispers "Who, me?", there's a male voice that says something... sounds like "Lana" but with a drawl, as if he's calling her name, but I can't tell.  Anyone know what he's actually saying?

Born to Die samples Long Red by Mountain and the voice says "You out there? Louder!":

(the thread already exists btw as the above poster already stated)

This was a song-specific question, so I thought it made more sense under the "Lyrics" subforum.

 

Thanks for pointing me to that thread... I wasn't smart enough to notice the first time that there were 6 additional pages of the "Lyrics" subforum; I thought it was just one page and didn't see "Born To Die" in there.  My mistake.  However, that being said...

...the thread did exist, but it didn't answer my question, so I'm glad you answered it here.   But now that I know the additional pages are there, I'll remember to look.

Her Masterpiece.

Why does this thread only have 2 replies  

[BoardingSchool 2,916]

When she sings it live, she sings, "let me fuck you hard in the pouring rain" (here for example) ...do we know if that was the original lyric, changed to "kiss" to be "cleaner", or a concert-only thing? Are there any recordings of her (other than concert vids) where she sings it that way?

 

(I thought of it bc of the recent drama where she said she felt she got too much flack if she did really provocative or sexual songs)

 

Edited to add: of course she also changes other lyrics live sometimes, like "you make me feel like home so I tell you you're mine" in this video (I LOVE that) but I mostly wondered if she really wanted to say "fuck" LOL

how can lyrics be so simple yet so iconic

[Malibu princess 14]

What are these alternate lyrics she’s singing? I can’t make them out. Only the “I’m pretty sure that it’s true” part. Wth is this? Does anyone know any information about this? Such as where to find these alternate lyrics

She always does that when live, other version of the bridge is "don't ya babe, I heard you did, you heard I am" 

[honeymoon is alive 21,013]

her mind when she made this song 

[Embach 40,945]

The expression "born to die" is equivalent to any type of quote or expression made by Caesar, Cicero or Aristotle or any kind of person from ancient eras. Because it's just that iconic and timesless and makes you think about life a lot.

[Let the Light In 18,569]

Maybe I don’t belong to this world, maybe I was born to die. 

[PARADIXO 32,925]

I can't believe people used to trash her for lyrics like these... mastermind.

[blackenedrussianpoetry 2,383]

Woah… this song was released as a single on the same day that Rob (guy who inspired heroin) passed away
