"Boulevard Of Broken Dreams"

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

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

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
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

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

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
When 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...




In this song he talks about waking alone and thinking for himself. He speaks of begin alone in the streets and of his shadow like he needs no one else because in himself he can trust and not in the people around.

I thought about using this song but you beat me to it! its a great example of self-reliance and as you say show how he, even though he accepts the fact that the road is difficult, travels it by himself. We see transcendental mentality clearly as he says "I walk a lonely road, the only one that i have ever known, dont know where it goes but its home to me and i walk alone." He clearly shows trust in himself.

As hector says "He clearly shows he trusts him self" ,every tough decision or action he as a individual has made was done by himself without reliance for others .He's self reliance for all these journey tell us that he's his own person ,his faults and or actions have made him a stronger person .He 'walks a lonely road" and is perfectly content with doing so .

[omarcabadas]

This song show great self reliance since it say "My shadow's the only one that walks beside me" is saying the fact that no one else has helped him besides himself. That also shows he doesn't need anyone else since he can handle himself. He shows only to keep to himself since he done that ever since he known. This song is an amazing song to show self-reliance and I think a little of non- conformity.

[leslierios]

This is a great example of self-reliance because he doesnt trust anyone but himself. His journey can be difficult but he can handle it by himself.

I was thinking of using this song as well!! Oh well but yeah this song shows a lot of self reliance when he says "Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me 'til then I walk alone" clearly shows someone who grew up relying on himself. He is his own person, who doesn't need anyone to survive. Its transcendental thinking, in a basic form.
