boulevard of broken dreams
♫ Green Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
I walk alone, I walk a
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
The lyrics of Green Day's song Boulevard Of Broken Dreams describe the feeling of loneliness and isolation that often accompanies personal struggles and a sense of detachment from one's surroundings. The singer is walking down a lonely road, not knowing where it leads, but knowing that he is alone on this journey. He continues to walk down empty streets and through a city that sleeps, being the only one present. These lines emphasize the singer’s sense of isolation and the feeling that the world has turned its back on him.
The second verse explains how the singer is walking on the line that divides him, both mentally and emotionally. The line he speaks of is the one between sanity and insanity. He checks his vital signs to make sure he is still alive and asserts that he walks alone. Finally, the chorus repeats the idea of the singer walking alone while his shadow is the only one accompanying him, and the only thing that keeps him company is his shallow heart.
The overall message of the song is that sometimes it feels as though one is walking down a path without direction, purpose, or companionship. It's a feeling of loneliness and despair that some individuals may relate to as they navigate their own personal struggles. The song remains popular since its release in 2004 because of its relatable lyrics and exceptional sound.

I walk a lonely road
I travel alone through life's journey
The only one that I have ever known
I have always been alone in my journey
Don't know where it goes
I don't know where this road will lead me
But it's only me, and I walk alone
I have only myself and must handle everything myself
I walk this empty street
I walk on a path with no companionship
On the boulevard of broken dreams
This path is full of shattered hopes and unfulfilled dreams
Where the city sleeps
I walk alone while everyone else is asleep
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I am the only one on this path and must face challenges alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
The only company I have is the shadow I cast
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
I have only myself to depend on and my shallow heart drives me forward
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
I long for companionship to share my journey
Till then I walk alone
For now, I have only myself
I'm walking down the line
I am treading a fine line between success and failure
That divides me somewhere in my mind
This line separates my thoughts and desires, causing me inner turmoil
On the border line of the edge
I am on the brink of something, but I don't know what
And where I walk alone
I must face this uncertainty alone
Read between the lines
Pay attention to detail and look beyond the surface
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Despite everything being chaotic, I am still okay
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
I am alive and well, despite feeling alone
And I walk alone
This journey is mine and mine alone
I walk this empty street
I am still walking on this path, despite feeling lonely
On the boulevard of broken dreams
This path is filled with the wreckage of past dreams and hopes
Where the city sleeps
The people around me are unaware of the journey I am on
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I am still alone on this path, facing whatever comes my way
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shadow is still my only constant companion
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
I am still surviving on my own and with my own strength
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
I still yearn for companionship
Till then I walk alone
But for now, I must continue alone.
