Patrick Wolf – Born to Die (Lana Del Rey cover) Lyrics 12 years ago
This song to me talks about Lana's love of New York and her fascination that we are all going die one day. she even said this about both:

1. "A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York"

2. "When I was very young I was sort of floored by the fact that my mother and my father and everyone I knew was going to die one day, and myself too. I had a sort of a philosophical crisis. I couldn't believe that we were mortal."

Again this is what I think. In the chorus she describes living life, getting high, and kissing in the rain. And she also describes her love for someone and not wanting it to end. She doesn't want life and love to end but than she says we are born to die, that we are all going to die and it will end eventually. I think the meaning is not only beautiful but very sad and haunting. You can hear it in her voice, I love this song.
