hmm I think of myself as paradoxical : A non vegetarian who doesnt like to kill or hurt other living things, A ceaseless romantic who sometimes thinks that relationships are just not worth gettin into since someone eventually gets hurt, A dreamer who ends up being more realistic, A pessimist who hides his optimism in pessimism & finally just another normal human being.

Am I walking on a lonely Road ?

Well since I am currently jobless and feeling a little creative I will attempt another song translation like the earlier Bryan Adam's song : Have you ever really loved a woman?

This song has been running in my mind for sometime now, I somehow seem to relate to it a lot.

"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams" - Green Day

I walk a lonely road (a lonely road that would describe our journey through life)
The only one that I have ever known (obviously it is the ONLY life we have)
Don't know where it goes (& yes do we ever really know where we will be in our life)
But it's home to me and I walk alone (but it is my life and I am the one responsible for it)

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams (Yes we have several dreams and goals that get discarded in our life's journey)
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone (have u ever had the feeling when you are walking in a crowd you still think you are all alone in the road)

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me (yes my shadow is my only real company on the road : this could be our conscience always reminding us that we have responsibilities)
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating (isn't our heart fickle, don't we have very unnecessary desires .. like say owning a BMW or something when there are people starving to death in other parts of the world)
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone (isn't it easy when someone else helps you through your life..I have always been unashamedly hoping for a girl to find me rather than me do all the work ;-) maybe it is time to settle down with a family huh. But until then I will still walk alone)

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind (how many times have we been undecided in life, how many times have we lost friends due to our indecisiveness)
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone (yes I would still have to try to make those decisions alone)

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright (even though we feel that we have screwed up maybe it was for the better in the long run)
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone (sometimes we appear so dead to the world that someone has to really dig deep to figure us out)

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
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 (Yes I would really like it if someone out there will find me, but knowing me I would still not listen to that person)

Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Ah-ah, Aaah-ah
Ah-ah, Ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams (my dreams lie scattered in my past and there will be several more that will be lost as time goes by)
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...

Oh well i know this song may sound more depressing than it actually is and I would like to assure you that I am not depressed.

Its just that I sometimes relate to this song because I do feel that I am the only person walking on a lonely road even though I have so many great friends and dear family nearby.
