Belle Of The Boulevard

Hey, have you guys listen to the new Dashboard Confessional latest album ?? I know It release last year and I didn't not have time to make review about it because it was release on the same day with my big exam. So right now I'm currently going to review about this one song. Later im going to make the full album. The title of the song was "Belle Of The Boulevard". Lyric on bottom, sing along guys

Down in a local bar
Out on the Boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you from sinking
It's a long way down, It's a long way

Back like you never broke
You tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg
And thinks He's getting close
For now you let him
Just this once
Just for now
And just like that
It's over.

[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
But keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the Belle of the Boulevard

In all your silver rings
In all your silken things
That song you softly sing
Is keeping you from breaking
It's a long way down, it's a long way

Back here you never lost
You shake the shivers off
You take a drink
To get your courage up
Can you believe it?
Just this once
Just for now
And just like that
It's over

[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
But keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the Belle of the Boulevard

Please hold on, it's alright
Please hold on, it's alright
Please hold on

Down in a local bar
Out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you

[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry you eyes
Don't be afraid
Keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the Belle of the Boulevard

Beautiful song izn'it ?? The story in the song is about a girl who cannot find "the one" for a long-term relationship. The girl has a one night stand with a guy, giving him what he wants, and she hopes that in return he will stick with her and it is also saying don't give up, "the one" is still waiting out there, you just have to find him. Suit of those girl who had trouble in making relationship :P

At first I always thought 'Belle of the boulevard' was like the rose in a thornbush or something along those lines. What I had find out the Belle of the boulevard mean "A beautiful lady has wide choice to make". I had adapted some of the lyric onto my essay on SPM English exam, the idea pop in my head instantly. This is why I like song from Dashboard Confessional.

Till then, cheerio.
