Born To Die
Olympe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take me to the finish line
All my heart, it breaks every step that I take
But I'm hoping that 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
It's like I told you honey
Don't make me sad, don't make me cry
Sometimes love's not enough when the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let's go get high
Road's 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's not enough when the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let's go get high
Road's 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
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's not enough when the road gets tough
I don't know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let's go get high
Road's 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
The song Born To Die by Olympe speaks of the struggles and complexities of love, and how sometimes love is not enough to get through tough times. The singer of the song asks to be taken to the finish line, hoping that the gates will tell him that his love interest is his. He walks through the city streets feeling alone and lost but finds solace in his partner's company.
The verse "Don't make me sad, don't make me cry, sometimes love's not enough when the road gets tough, I don't know why" speaks of the heartbreak and confusion that love can bring. However, in the midst of all this, the singer finds joy in the moments they spend with their beloved, making each other laugh and going on wild adventures together.
The chorus of the song talks about the idea that the singer and their partner were born to die together. This may seem like a nihilistic view, but it could also be interpreted as a romantic idea that they were meant to be together, for better or for worse.
Overall, the song is about the ups and downs of love and how even though love can be hard, it's worth it to keep going and try to have fun in the meantime.
