Built to Last
Ann Beretta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle is a safety bet
But you know I won't let me let you down
Half mast, beat past
I might laugh first but I won't laugh last
And you know I won't let me let you down
Built to last
Way too fast
To bring us down
Built to last
Living life and going nowhere
Way too fast
To break our fall
And lose it all
Right place, wrong time
False start on a starting line
And you know I won't let me let you down
A foot in a hole I know is too deep
A price on my head I know is too steep
But you know I won't let me let you down
Built to last
Living life and going nowhere
Way too fast
To bring us down
Built to last
Living life and going nowhere
Way too fast
To break our fall
And lose it all
Too right, too left
In the middle is a safety bet
But you know I won't let me let you down
Right place, wrong time
False start on a starting line
And you know I won't let me let you down
Built to last
Living life and going nowhere
Way too fast
To bring us down
Built to last
Living life and going nowhere
Way too fast
To break our fall
And lose it all
Sing loud
Another for the underground
Sing loud, sing proud
Sing loud
Another for the underground
Sing another for the underground
The lyrics of the song "Built to Last" by Ann Beretta seem to address the idea of an individual who is self-assured and confident in their ability to overcome obstacles and hardships. The chorus "Built to last, living life and going nowhere, way too fast" suggests that this person is living life to the fullest but perhaps without a clear purpose or direction. The verses are more introspective, with the lines "But you know I won't let me let you down" implying that the person is accountable to themselves and determined not to disappoint themselves or let themselves down.
