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
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

The next line just expresses a feeling of, you guessed it, utter and complete loneliness, but that's not all. It also conveys that nobody cares that he's alone and that he'll never fix anything(hence the Broken Dreams).
Chorus 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.
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.
Chrous again, just underlining the previous one...
Again with the second line, simply restating that he's still "helpless" and alone and such.
Again with the Chorus...
Anyhoo, 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. I could put it on a CD and listen to it for weeks at a time. Very well-written and thought-out. I hope you don't flame my understanding of the song, it's just what I think it could mean.
Some of you stupid kids need to pull your heads out of your asses, go to college, and realize there's much more important things about a person's music other than how many people like it. Judge it based on how you feel about the song, and not how anyone else feels. Stupid pseudo-intellectuals.
PS- Not all kids are stupid. But most kids hear about bands when they have many supporters, but you are right when you say its bad if people like music for all the supporters.
The music is just pure bloody brilliant.
I can relate to the lyrics...often I've found it so hard with people, that I've just decided to "walk alone", and hope that someday "someone finds me". :/ It does get lonely. When I got stabbed in the back by someone who I thought actually cared about me (as a close friend), I felt so awful. This song...I don't know. Damn, it just has so much meaning.
"I'm walking down the line that divides me somewhere in my mind," I think what he was portraying there was that he thinks someone that finally understands him and how he feels is gonna come along soon and he isn't going to be alone. And for once he is gonna know how it feels to not be alone. I don't know if any of you felt that way, but that is how I interpreted it.
Walking down that empty midnight street, it felt like the song just "fit."
The truth is, I am alone. I have a bad habit of pushing people away and hiding my emotions. I've been called an asshole, cold-hearted, and similar by the masses that don't know me.
Sometimes I wish someone would find me, but until then I walk alone.
What's Snuffed up and everythings all right" instead of "Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everythings all right" that kinda got me madbut then again they really can't cuss in their videos, can they?
