Top Rated Interpretation

I think this song is about a man who is trying to find someone who likes him for who he is, and he can't find that person. During the chorus the lyric: "Sometimes I wish someone up there would find me" suggests that he is longing for someone like him.
Boulevard of broken dreams is about being alone... And being afraid to be alone...
It's about a guy who is alone, and that's all he knows. He wishes someone would find him and walk with him. I also think he is walking away from something, hence the Broken Dreams part.
It's sort of a metaphor for life. The guy is all alone and he wants somebody to be with him, as he walks the boulevard of broken dreams, which is life. That is why part of the song says, "I walk a lonely road, the only on that I have ever known. Don't know where it goes, but it's only me and I walk alone."
I think this song is about someone who wants to find a place where he or she belongs. Somewhere she or he can be with someone that can trust, a place where he can be safe.
I think this song is about depression, maybe being alone is in his head there could be people all around him but they don't see him, like he has clearly displayed he wants some help but no one is helping
Basically (not to get into the whole story of the CD) I think this song is about going out on your own and not always following the group; going against popular belief as a part of growing up.
I see this song as being about how the 'American Dream' and the idealistic view that everyone will be able to make something of themselves on their own generally, is completely wrong because life just isn't like that. People need people and if you try to go out completely alone then life will be very lonely, especially if you fail since not everybody can make it to the top and completely fulfil their dreams. I can also see how it's about depression though and
It's about depression. "Check my vital signs" if you have ever been in the hospital for depression you would understand this completely.
I think it's about a guy who has problems with suicide. He is lost in his mind in his head. He knows that whatever he does in life, he'll commit suicide and he won't never be able to do something good. He wishes that someone would soon help him to get out of this situation. He feels really sad, he's near death. I think it's what it means.
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams is about what this guy is feeling inside. To me, it doesn't really have anything to do with him actually walking by himself, but in his mind he's all alone. It's as if no one knows exactly what's going on in his head and that's why he's alone because no one understands what he's dealing with. In the verse "Sometimes I Wish Someone Out There Will Find Me" I think it's saying that sometimes he wishes someone was on his page feeling the same thing he is and understands what he's going through, and until then he walks alone. I think this because the entire middle of the song talks about what's going on in his head. Get the CD and read the lyrics... Also, this is how I interpreted this song because that is exactly how I feel right now.
I think it means two things. Following Jesus of Suburbia's story, he feels like an outcast, or a stranger in the land he is in, because it says, "Where the city sleeps and I'm the only one and I walk alone." Also, I think he feels lonely and maybe misunderstood, because he says "My shadow's the only one that walks beside me," and "Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me." So basically he is alone in a land where he doesn't know where anything is or who anyone is, and just wants to be found.
I think it's about someone who wants something more in his life. The person has a good life but he wants more. He/She doesn't want to walk alone anymore, want someone with the same dreams
