Born
OneRepublic [FazMusic.Net] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was born, born to love you
Bust through the door said what's your name
Looking for somebody and you match the shame
Now don't lie
Don't lie
You've seen me television and you know what's up
So don't lie
So don't lie
I said here that's where I'll be living 'til my times up
Yeah, found someone to keep my head up
Yeah, trading darkness for the dawn
'Cause I was born, born to love you
I was born, born to love you
Lost in stars since she was a girl
She dreamt of a place of a better world
It felt like sunlight
Tired of the days living in the dark
She ran to the place where wild things are
It felt right
'Cause it felt right
She said here is where I'll be living 'til my times up, yeah
Found my people now I'm made up
Yeah, always dark before the dawn
Always dark before the dawn
I was born, born to love you
I was born, born to love you
I said here is where I'll be living 'til my time's up
I said here I found my people now I'm made up, yeah
I was born, I was born in the city, born and raised
I was born in the city all my friends are here
I was born in the city, born and raised
I was born in the city all my friends are here
I was born inside
No woo, I woo, I
The song "Born" by OneRepublic [FazMusic.Net] is a powerful expression of love, hope, and belonging. The opening lines, "I was born, born to love you," capture the idea that the singer was created for a specific purpose, and that purpose is to love someone deeply. The repetition of this line throughout the song emphasizes its importance.
The second verse introduces a female character who feels lost and trapped in the darkness of her life. She dreams of a better world and finds it among a group of people who accept her for who she is. They help her to escape the darkness and find hope in the light of a new day. The message is clear: no matter how lost and alone we may feel at times, there is always hope for a better future.
The chorus brings these ideas together, emphasizing the idea that the singer and the female character were both born to love and find happiness. They have found their people and their place in the world, and they are determined to live their lives to the fullest until their time is up.
