But the underlying sentiment is that via the relationship she is now undergoing with the addressee, she has achieved a sense of relief from these matters. And it has been postulated that she is speaking to her life in general (and not specifically this romance), which could very well be true.

Meanwhile the second verse, which seems to be relayed after she has made the decision to go ahead and fall in love, has the songstress exclaiming that she was “lost but now… found”, “blind”, “confused”, “scared” and other such adjectives. But she decides to do so while simultaneously acknowledging the risk as detailed above. Or another way of looking at the statement “born to die” in relation to this scenario is that since she knows she’s going to ultimately die anyway, then all things considered there’s no harm in taking the chance. At this time she is apparently contemplating whether or not to get romantically involved with the addressee. Thus the song begins with Lana obviously being single.
