I could put it on a CD and listen to it for weeks at a time. The third line sounds like he's attempting to quit, or he's been on it too long and he's on the line between going insane/dying, or staying to his addiction.Ĭhrous again, just underlining the previous one.Īgain with the second line, simply restating that he's still "helpless" and alone and such.Īnyhoo, this has been one hell of a long meaning, and I enjoyed writing it almost as much as I enjoyed listening to the song itself.

This is the measure of true poverty, when people are. It also conveys that nobody cares that he's alone and that he'll never fix anything(hence the Broken Dreams).Ĭhorus is just restating that he's lonely and he wishes someone would help him out of his hole, but until he gets intervention he's stuck alone. Truly, a boulevard of broken road is an indication of broken networks of creativity and productivity.

The next line just expresses a feeling of, you guessed it, utter and complete loneliness, but that's not all. (I've only ever heard this song by itself, I plan to buy the CD sometime in the future.) The words make it seem like he's been on this road for so long that he's gotten used to it, and it's just a part of him now. Don't know where it goes.) seems to me like he's talking about addiction or an extremely hard time in life. General CommentWell, during the first part of the song(I walk a lonely road, it's the only one I've ever known. What's fucked up and every thing's all rightĬheck my vital signs to know I'm still alive Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating My shadow's only one that walks beside me
