BOOMERANG
Emin & Nile Rodgers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You keep coming back around
What I though was over
Look at us now
Said our goodbyes but
Never really felt that this was done
Now your body burning like the Sun
You keep coming back into me
Repeating our history
Your love is like a Boomerang
Your touch your Silhouette
Pictures burned in my head
Your love is like a Boomerang
3rd times a charm girl
This thing is all worked out
Anything you got it you got it now
Panamera waiting.
Everywhere I wanna go with you.
Spark this old flame your lips make it new
You keep coming back into me
Repeating our history
Your love is like a Boomerang
Your touch your Silhouette
Pictures burned in my head
Your love is like a Boomerang
I can you see the way you wanna let go
Anything you want cause it's out of control
Every time you leave you come right back here
Right back to me again and again.
You keep coming back into me
Repeating our history
Your love is like a Boomerang
Your touch your Silhouette
Pictures burned in my head
Your love is like a Boomerang
You keep coming back into me
Repeating our history
Your love is like a Boomerang
Your touch your Silhouette
Pictures burned in my head
Your love is like a Boomerang
You keep coming back into me
Repeating our history
Your love is like a Boomerang
The lyrics to Emin & Nile Rodgers's song "Boomerang" explore the cyclical nature of a relationship. The singer compares his lover to a boomerang, as no matter how many times they say goodbye, they always come back to each other. The singer also talks about how he thought the relationship was over, only for it to resurface again later on. The lyrics convey a sense of both frustration and obsession, as the singer seems unable to break free from this pattern.
The repetition of phrases like "You keep coming back into me" and "Your love is like a Boomerang" emphasizes the themes of repetition and cyclicality. The lines "Pictures burned in my head/Your love is like a Boomerang" suggest that the memories of this relationship linger even when they are apart. The singer also notes that their love is like a "spark" that can reignite at any time, demonstrating the power it has over them.
Overall, "Boomerang" is a reflection on the human tendency to repeat patterns in relationships, even when they are unhealthy or unfulfilling. The lyrics suggest that sometimes we cannot help but be drawn back to the familiar, no matter how much we try to move on.
