Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Journey through Solitude: Boulevard of Reflection and Resilience
Lyrics
I walk a lonely road
I am traversing a desolate path
The only one that I have ever known
It's the only path I've ever known
Don't know where it goes
Uncertain where this path leads
But it's home to me, and I walk alone
Yet, it feels like home to me, and I navigate it alone
I walk this empty street
I'm walking on a deserted street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
This street is symbolic of shattered dreams
Where the city sleeps
It's a place where the city is in slumber
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I am the sole presence, and I walk by myself
I walk alone, I walk alone
Emphasizing the solitude, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
Reiteration of walking alone
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 shallow, and my heart beats weakly
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
Expressing a desire for someone to find and connect with me
'Til then, I walk alone
Until that happens, I continue my solitary journey
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Musical interlude
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
-I'm walking down the line
Walking a fine line that separates my thoughts
That divides me somewhere in my mind
In a mental space on the edge
On the borderline
Existing on the borderline between despair and solitude
Of the edge, and where I walk alone
Reaffirming that I tread this path alone
Read between the lines
Encouraging scrutiny of my experiences
What's fucked up, and everything's alright
Acknowledging challenges but asserting everything is fine
Check my vital signs
Monitoring my vital signs for assurance of life
To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone
Confirmation of being alive on this solitary journey
I walk alone, I walk alone
Repetition of walking alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
-My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
Reiteration of the shadow as my sole companion
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Emphasizing the superficiality of my emotions
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
Reiterating the desire for connection and understanding
'Til then, I walk alone
Until that longing is fulfilled, I persist in solitude
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Musical interlude
Ah-ah, ah-ah, I walk alone, I walk a-
-I walk this empty street
Repetition of walking on an empty street, the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Reaffirmation of the symbolic nature of the broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
Highlighting the city's dormancy as I continue my journey alone
And I'm the only one, and I walk a-
Reiterating that I am the only one on this path
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
Shadow remains my sole companion
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Reaffirming the emotional shallowness within me
Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me
Expressing the ongoing desire for someone to discover and understand me
'Til then, I walk alone
Until that moment arrives, I persist in walking alone
