Prophet or Singer?

Is it possible to know how your life is going to turn out, based on songs you hear repeatedly?

Green Day has a song out called “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and I’m beginning to think it’s some sort of prophetic omen for me. Every time I get into a car, this song is playing. Whenever I walk into a store, it’s on. When I turn on streaming audio, guess what? Yup, again.

Considering the words are somewhat dismal, I’m thinking it’s a bad omen, especially given the fact that I’ve begun dating again.

Some random lyrics:
“I walk these empty streets on the boulevard of broken dreams …”
“My shadow’s the only one who walks beside me”
“I walk alone, I walk alone.”


And, to make matters worse, the song that I always identified with my ex-boyfriend is the OTHER song I hear playing if the Green Day song isn’t on:

“It’s hard to say what it is I see in you,
Wonder if I’ll always be with you,
Words can’t say, all I do, just to prove, it’s all for you”


“Rain comes pouring down, falling from the sky
Words without a sound, coming from your eyes.”


I can't remember who sings this song ... I think I blocked it from my memory while attempting to follow the very good advice I was once given "Remember the best, forget the rest."
