Song: Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Band: Green Day
Source: TV
Trivia: There is a continuation of 2 music videos - "Holiday" music video as a party, and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" as the subsequent hangover.

Interpretation:
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
Till then I walk alone

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah

I think the character is talking about the hardships which he is going through to overcome an addiction. Due to his addiction he has no friends all his ties with others are severed. All he has left are the fellows who are in this addiction. He feels lonely. He wants to wade through this misery by taking
the path which is lonely, he knows that it will take effort and pain to detox but he still wants to do it
even though there is no one to cheer him in this path, he is still managing to drag himself forward.
But he is been lurked by his shadow which is the temptation to go back to the addiction. It is right there following him in his every action constantly waiting to possess him. He knows that his heart is weak and prone to attack but he has a hope that it is capable of carrying out what he has set his mind upon. He wishes that the people who once cared about him will return back in his life and encourage him to completely set out of this addiction.

The Basketball Diaries (film)

In this movie Jim, a kid with basketball skills gets hooked to cocaine but with the help of Reggie , an older neighborhood friend with whom Jim "picked up a game" now and then, he is able to begin the long journey back to sanity.

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
While walking this path he feels that his waking on the edge with no support and alone, knowing that one small misstep could make all the effort go in vain. He is aware of the things around and he knows how people perceive him this causes him to rage and go back to the old ways but he is well aware of the stakes , so he continues to walk in this path and overcome the shadow of addiction.

This song can be interpreted as the character trying to overcome the addiction\ depression.
