Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Oasis vs. Green Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk a lonely road
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
And I'm the only one, 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
'Til then I walk alone

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
'Til then I walk alone

Ah ah 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
'Til then I walk alone

Line by Line Meaning

I walk a lonely road
I am walking a path in solitude


The only one that I have ever known
This is the only way of life that I am familiar with


Don't know where it goes
I am uncertain of where this path will take me


But it's only me, and I walk alone
I am completely alone on this journey


I walk this empty street
I am walking on a road with no one else around


On the boulevard of broken dreams
This path is filled with shattered aspirations


Where the city sleeps
In the city that never sleeps, the only place of solace is a street of broken dreams


And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I am the only living soul in sight and I am travelling alone


My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shadow is the only constant companion I have


My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
My heart beats, but only superficially; I lack passion


Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
I yearn for companionship and connection


‘Til then I walk alone
Until I find what I seek, I will remain alone


I'm walking down the line
I am straddling a divide


That divides me somewhere in my mind
The division is within me, a mental one


On the border line of the edge
I am standing on the edge of a precipice


And where I walk alone
And I do this all by myself


Read between the lines
To truly understand, you must infer


What's fucked up and every thing's all right
The situation is grim, but I am okay with it


Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
I am alive, but barely hanging on


And I walk alone
And I persist all by myself


And I walk a
And I continue my journey


Ah ah ah ah ah
Vocalizations that serve to evoke emotion


I walk this empty street
I traverse this vacant path


On the boulevard of broken dreams
This is a road of disappointment and heartache


Where the city sleeps
The city is quiet while I walk down this abandoned street


And I'm the only one, and I walk a
And yet again, I am walking alone


My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
Once again, my shadow is my only companion


My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
There is no depth to my emotions, and my heart merely pumps blood


Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
I desperately desire someone to discover me


‘Til then I walk alone
But until that happens, I continue to trek solo


Ah ah ah ah ah
The vocals stir ongoing emotions


Ah ah
A vocalization to conclude the song


I walk alone, and I walk a
I persist in solitude
