Born to Die is an original song from Trolls World Tour, sung by Delta Dawn and done in a country/western style of music.
About[]
The song intends to express the feeling of despair and talks about the mortality that comes with life. It's fairly depressing, but intended to communicate and create a sense of empathy among the Country Trolls, helping them cope with the hardships of life. The song unites the Country Trolls and brings them together.
Branch found himself liking the song, noting that "life is sad sometimes".
Lyrics[]
We don't hope for makin' things better
All we want is to keep it together
Every day is a rainy day, no changin' the weather
This kind of life has made our hearts as hard as leather
And all these tears are from the dust in our eyes
And all these years just keep on passin' us by
And all this misery makes it hard to deny
We all know that we're just born to die
That's the way it goes when you're just born to die
I hear the voice of a whip-poor-will singin'
She don't know all the comfort she's bringin'
We all know the sound of when the truth is ringin'
Yeah, it hurts your soul just like a bumblebee stingin'
All these tears are from the dust in our eyes
And all these years just keep on passin' us by
And all this misery makes it hard to deny
We all know that we're just born to die
That's the way it goes when you're just born to die
All these tears are from the dust in our eyes
And all these years just keep on passin' us by
And all this misery makes it hard to deny
We all know that we're just born to die
'Cause we all know that we're just born to die
That's the way it goes when you're just born to die
Trivia[]
- In terms of storyline, this song likely led to Branch sing Perfect For Me later in the film, which is another sad song.
- This song wasn't originally going to be the song sung by Delta, as shown in storyboards supplied by Chris Heltzel. The original song had Delta singing about how the Country Trolls have been preparing for the time the Rock Trolls would attack their home.
