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 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, 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 alright
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, aah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone and 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 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 to Green Day ft Oasis's song Boulevard of Broken Dreams & Wonderwall are poignant and reflective, portraying a sense of lonely, unfulfilled longing for companionship and understanding. The singer walks alone down a lonely road, the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, where the city sleeps and they are the only one. They feel lost, as though they don't know where the road takes them, but at the same time, it's home. The sense of duality in the lyrics is reinforced as they walk down the line that divides them somewhere in their mind, on the border line of the edge, where they walk alone. They check their vital signs to know they're still alive.
Throughout it all, the singer's shadow is the only one that walks beside them, and their shallow heart is the only thing that's beating. They wish someone would find them and understand them, but they continue to walk alone. The repeated chorus of "I walk alone" reinforces this sense of isolation and disconnect that the singer is feeling.
It's clear that this song is a reflection of the deep feelings of loneliness and isolation that are common in modern society. Many people feel disconnected from others and long for understanding and companionship, yet feel like they are walking a lonely road. The lyrics of Boulevard of Broken Dreams & Wonderwall capture this sentiment perfectly, and the overlapping of Green Day and Oasis's music creates a unique sound that adds even more nuance to the song.

I walk a lonely road
I am taking a journey all by myself
The only one that I have ever known
This is the only path I have ever taken
Don't know where it goes
I don't know where it leads
But it's home to me and I walk alone
Even though I am alone, this path feels like home to me
I walk this empty street
I am walking on a street that is barren
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
This is a path where people's dreams have been shattered
Where the city sleeps
This is a city where everyone has gone to bed
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I am the only one here and I am walking by myself
I walk alone, I walk alone
I am walking by myself, all by myself
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
I am so lonely, that even my shadow is the only companion I have
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
My heart feels empty because I am so lonely
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
I wish somebody would come and find me, and give me a reason to stop walking alone
Till then I walk alone
Until I find someone to walk with, I will continue walking alone
I'm walking down the line
I am walking on the edge of something
That divides me somewhere in my mind
There is something dividing me from within
On the border line
I am walking on the line that divides two things
Of the edge and where I walk alone
I am walking on the edge, all by myself
Read between the lines
Take a closer look, there is more to see here
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Things may look bad, but I'm fine with it
Check my vital signs
Make sure I'm still alive
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone
Just to remind myself that I am still alive, but still walking by myself
I walk this empty street
I am walking on a street that is barren
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
I am walking on a path where people's dreams have been shattered
Where the city sleeps
This is a city where everyone has gone to bed
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I am the only one here and I am walking by myself
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
I am so lonely, that even my shadow is the only companion I have
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
My heart feels empty because I am so lonely
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
I wish somebody would come and find me, and give me a reason to stop walking alone
Till then I walk alone
Until I find someone to walk with, I will continue walking alone
