BOOMERANG
Gonzales Feist & Dani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a boom and a bang
Beating in my broken heart
Love's just like a boomerang

Bouncing back to where it starts
We belong like yin and yang
Even if you pull us apart
I feel a boom and a bang

Someday soon you'll feel it too
Watch out for the boomerang
Always bouncing back to you
I got hooked but you will hang

Time will pass and then we'll be two
Watch out for the boomerang
I feel a boom and a bang
Beating in my broken heart

Love's just like a boomerang
Bouncing back to where it starts
We belong like yin and yang
Even if you pull us apart

Today it's a real scorcher it's
Sheer torture when I set fire to

My own self-portrait
Now I'm in the Boomerang Brotherhood
Shoe's on the other foot now
To be a member is to be a pretender

Just pretend that you don't remember
But that's how it goes
The first offender gets a boomerang, man
It's return to sender

I feel a boom and a bang
Beating in my broken heart
Love's just like a boomerang
Bouncing back to where it starts

We belong like yin and yang
Even if you pull us apart
I feel a boom and a bang
Someday soon you'll feel it too

Watch out for the boomerang
Always bouncing back to you
I got hooked but you will hang
Time will pass and then we'll be two

Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang




Watch out for the boomerang
Watch out for the boomerang

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Boomerang" by Gonzales, Feist, and Dani reflect a relationship that has a tendency to repeat itself. Love is compared to a boomerang that keeps coming back to where it started, even after being thrown away. The individual feels a "boom and a bang" in their heart, indicating a mix of excitement and unease, but regardless they know that this cycle will continue. The chorus provides reassurance that even if they are pulled apart, like Yin and Yang, the boomerang effect will eventually bring them back together.


The second half of the song introduces a new perspective. The lyrics suggest that the singer has now become a member of the "Boomerang Brotherhood" because they have hurt someone just like they have been hurt before. They now have to face the consequences of their actions, where they will inevitably receive a similar reaction from the person they hurt. The lyrics end with a repetitive warning to "watch out for the boomerang."

I feel a boom and a bang
I am experiencing intense feelings in my heart


Beating in my broken heart
These intense feelings are causing pain and sadness due to a past hurt


Love's just like a boomerang
Love has a way of coming back around to where it began


Bouncing back to where it starts
It has a cyclical nature, returning to its original source


We belong like yin and yang
We complement each other and cannot exist without the other


Even if you pull us apart
We will find a way to come back together


Someday soon you'll feel it too
My love will eventually be reciprocated


Watch out for the boomerang
Be careful because love has a way of returning


Always bouncing back to you
No matter what, love will come back to you


I got hooked but you will hang
I have fallen in love with you, but eventually you will feel the same way


Time will pass and then we'll be two
Eventually we will both move on from this love


Today it's a real scorcher it's
Today is a very hot and uncomfortable day


Sheer torture when I set fire to
It is unbearable when I reflect on my own mistakes and regrets


My own self-portrait
I am examining my own character and actions


Now I'm in the Boomerang Brotherhood
I am now part of a group of people who have experienced the return of love


Shoe's on the other foot now
Now I am experiencing what others have before


To be a member is to be a pretender
Being part of this group means pretending that we do not care about those who hurt us


Just pretend that you don't remember
Act like you have moved on from the person who hurt you


But that's how it goes
This is the way of love, it can hurt but it can also heal


The first offender gets a boomerang, man
The person who caused hurt will eventually experience it themselves


It's return to sender
The hurt will come back to the person who caused it


Watch out for the boomerang
Repeated warning to be careful of the cyclical nature of love

Şevval Hüseyinoğlu

Bunu kullanmış patos sadece sözleri değiştirip müzikte azıcık oynama yapmış bence

Mr. Chad TV
