Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Green Day Lyrics

I walk a lonely road
The singer feels isolated and alone, with no one to turn to.

The only one that I have ever known
The singer has always felt this way.

Don't know where it goes
The singer has no idea where their path in life will take them.

But it's only me, and I walk alone
The singer is alone in their journey.

I walk this empty street
The singer is walking down a street with no one around.

On the boulevard of broken dreams
The street represents the singer's broken dreams and aspirations.

Where the city sleeps
The city, which is usually bustling with activity, seems to be sleeping.

And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
The singer is completely alone and isolated.

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
The singer's shadow is the only company they have.

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
The singer's heart only beats superficially, indicating a lack of emotion.

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
The singer yearns for companionship and someone to understand them.

Til then I walk alone
The singer will continue on their journey alone.

I'm walking down the line
The singer is on a certain path that they cannot deviate from.

That divides me somewhere in my mind
The singer feels torn between different thoughts and emotions.

On the border line of the edge
The singer is teetering on the edge, unsure of whether to take a risk or not.

And where I walk alone
Despite the uncertainty, the singer knows they must continue alone.

Read between the lines
The singer encourages listeners to look beneath the surface.

What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Things might seem chaotic or bleak, but the singer is accepting of this.

Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
The singer reassures themselves (and listeners) that they are still alive.

I walk alone, I walk alone
The singer repeats this phrase to emphasize their isolation.

Ah ah ah ah ah
This repeated vocalization is a cry of despair or sadness.

I walk alone, and I walk a
The singer is emphasizing how alone they are in their journey.

My shadow's only one that walks beside me
The singer reiterates that their shadow is their only company.

My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
The singer continues to emphasize their superficial emotions.

Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
The singer still yearns for companionship and understanding.

Til then I walk alone
The singer resigns themselves to this fate until they find someone.

I walk this empty street
The singer is still walking down the same desolate street.

On the boulevard of broken dreams
The street still represents their broken dreams.

Where the city sleeps
The city remains still and quiet.

And I'm the only one, and I walk a
The singer reminds listeners that they remain completely alone in their journey.
