boulevard of broken dreams
绿日(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 home to 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
I walk a...
My shadow's 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, aah-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 everything'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
I walk a...
My shadow's 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, aah-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 a
My shadow's 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 to "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day describe a feeling of isolation and loneliness. The singer is walking down a lonely, empty street, and although it's the only place they know and call home, they don't know where it's leading. They feel as though they are the only one in the city that is awake and walking alone. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels disconnected from the world and that they are searching for something. The line "My shadow's the only one that walks beside me, my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating" illustrates the loneliness of the singer. They wish for someone to find them, but until then, they walk alone.
The second verse of the song suggests that the singer is on the border line of the edge, which could imply a sense of peril or danger. However, they try to stay positive despite everything being "f**ked up" and check their vital signs to ensure they are still alive. The lyrics suggest that even though things are tough, they continue to move forward, despite the feeling of walking alone. The bridge of the song repeats the singer's feeling of loneliness, emphasizing the fact that they are walking alone and searching for someone to find them.

Here in 2024 😎 heroes come and go, but Green Day is forever ♾️
I remember when they were on the radio back in the early 2000s 📻
A band essential to my childhood that made me love rock music 🎵🎸🥁
That sound man, there's no one else like 'em.
That transition from "Holiday" to this song never gets old and I was always happy that radio stations played both songs right after each other 😎
Every now and then I'll hear one or the other song on the radio, but never both.
Rock on green day, rock on 🤘
