| Dashboard Confessional – Belle of the Boulevard Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
This song is just beautiful, as well as many of their songs. To me, I don't think that the girl is a prostitute, but rather a very beautiful young lady who fell in love, but got her heart broken badly. The "back like you never broke" leads me to believe that. And then it goes on to say "for now you let him, just this once" and from that I think it may meant that she hadn't really dated much since her heart was broken, but she's letting this guy come on to her "just this once". The reason I don't think she's a prostitute is because it says "THE Belle of the Boulevard". And the name "Belle" kind of comes from the Italian word "Bella" meaning beautiful. The guy who's singing this song obviously cares for her, a lot. He's basically saying at the end, "it's time to dry your eyes", like it's time to forget the heart break, and move on. Move on to someone who will love you and not leave you disappointed and broken. And like, "keep it all inside" means remember the good times you had with that person, but it's time to move on and be happy again. Maybe move on the the guy singing it? Anyways, that's my interpretation. Very beautiful song, and its true, love is always the hardest for the "belle of the boulevard". |
