Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Journey Through Solitude: Wild Tales' Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Lyrics
I walk a lonely road
I am navigating a solitary path.
The only one that I have ever known
This is the only path I've known in my life.
Don't know where it goes
Uncertain about its destination.
But it's only me, and I walk alone
It's just me, and I'm on this journey alone.
I walk this empty street
I'm walking on an abandoned street.
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Referring to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams, a desolate place.
Where the city sleeps
The city is dormant around me.
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I'm the sole person here, continuing my solitary walk.
I walk alone, I walk alone
Emphasizing the loneliness in walking this path.
I walk alone and I walk a
Continuing the theme of solitary walking.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shadow is my only companion.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
My emotions are superficial; my heart is the only thing alive.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Expressing a desire for someone to discover me.
Till then I walk alone
Until then, I continue my lonely journey.
Ah ah ah ah ah
Instrumental or vocalization without specific lyrical meaning.
Ah ah ah ah ah
-I'm walking down the line
Walking a path that mentally separates me.
That divides me somewhere in my mind
Describing a mental struggle or conflict.
On the border line of the edge
Being on the edge of a challenging situation.
And where I walk alone
Reiterating the theme of walking alone in a challenging environment.
Read between the lines
Encouraging a deeper understanding of the situation.
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Acknowledging the messed-up aspects, yet finding a semblance of normalcy.
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
Checking for signs of life and vitality.
And I walk alone
Continuing the solitary walk despite challenges.
I walk alone, I walk alone
Repeating the theme of walking alone.
I walk alone and I walk a
Continuing the emphasis on solitude in the journey.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
Reiteration of the shadow as the only companion.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Highlighting the superficial nature of emotions.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Expressing a longing for connection with someone.
Till then I walk alone
Until that happens, the lonely journey continues.
Ah ah ah ah ah
Instrumental or vocalization without specific lyrical meaning.
Ah ah ah ah ah
-I walk alone, I walk a
Repetition of the theme of solitary walking.
I walk this empty street
Reiterating the image of an empty street.
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Recalling the desolation of the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.
Where the city sleeps
Repeating the imagery of a sleeping city.
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
Continuing the narrative of being the sole walker.
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
Reaffirmation of the shadow as the constant companion.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Reiterating the superficiality of emotions.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Expressing the desire for someone to find the lonely individual.
Till then I walk alone
Until that moment arrives, the solitary walk persists.
