"Born to Die" is about making the most of life while accepting that death is inevitable. She contrasts glamorous, wild experiences with the harsh reality of death, singing "Come and take a walk on the wild side / Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain / You like your girls insane" and then pointing out that we all have a limited time here and should make the most of it before it's too late: "Choose your last words, this is the last time / 'Cause you and I- we were born to die". Ultimately, she is encouraging the listener to have fun, as life is too short to waste.
