Well, during the first part of the song(I walk a lonely road, it's the only one I've ever known. Don't know where it goes...) seems to me like he's talking about addiction or an extremely hard time in life. (I've only ever heard this song by itself, I plan to buy the CD sometime in the future...) The words make it seem like he's been on this road for so long that he's gotten used to it, and it's just a part of him now.
The next line just expresses a feeling of, you guessed it, utter and complete loneliness, but that's not all. It also conveys that nobody cares that he's alone and that he'll never fix anything(hence the Broken Dreams).
Chorus is just restating that he's lonely and he wishes someone would help him out of his hole, but until he gets intervention he's stuck alone.
The third line sounds like he's attempting to quit, or he's been on it too long and he's on the line between going insane/dying, or staying to his addiction.
Chrous again, just underlining the previous one...
Again with the second line, simply restating that he's still "helpless" and alone and such.
Again with the Chorus...
Anyhoo, this has been one hell of a long meaning, and I enjoyed writing it almost as much as I enjoyed listening to the song itself. I could put it on a CD and listen to it for weeks at a time. Very well-written and thought-out. I hope you don't flame my understanding of the song, it's just what I think it could mean.
@Cirel After watching the music video, I'm convinced you have a point. I also saw an evident symbol in that he isn't actually walking by himself in the video, probably meant to show that he's not even alone, but his guilt (or something else) is clouding his judgement. His friends are right there with him, but he's unwilling to accept this because of the bleak nature of his position. Then again, maybe I'm looking to far into this.
