Metaphors

• On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
• This means the persons life has been messed up
  for a long time. It could also be his dreams have
  been shattered.

3
Repetition

• My shadow's the only one that walks beside meMy
  shallow heart's the only thing that's
  beatingSometimes I wish someone out there will
  find meTil then I walk alone
• This helps create the theme Its better to
  have memories that you have experienced with
  others. The singer is obviously alone and has no
  one to do anything with.

4
Mood

• I walk a lonely roadThe only one that I have
  ever knownDon't know where it goesBut it's home
  to me and I walk alone

• I walk this empty streetOn the Boulevard of
  Broken DreamsWhere the city sleepsand I'm the
  only one and I walk alone

Both of these stanzas from the lyrics give you
the feeling of loneliness and sadness. The use
of imagery and diction of the words walking down
the lonely road and empty street makes you feel
bad for the singer and makes the song a good
song. This feeling is one reason why I like this
song.
