BOOMERANG
Jidenna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh no no no no
Don't come near me, don't come near me, don't come near me
Mm mm, no no

I thought of leaving, I want key
I wanted world, I want it all ,I want to live
She got a grievance, she want the kid
She want the key, she want the car, she want the crib
I got a bit it might be about that
And my moves need to be about that
Somebody pulling me to feel yo yo
Try to leave but I still don't go

Even if I wanted to, I come back around
Even if I wanted to, I come back and
We just go around, baby
Bang, bang boomerang
Do you love me or hate me now, baby
Bang, bang boomerang
I can't believe it all began with a joke and champagne
I really never cared about it
But if you plantin', I'm plantain

Ooh, you got me feeling like boomerang
Bomerang, boomerang, boomerang, 'rang
Ooh, you got me feeling like boomerang
Bomerang, boomerang, boomerang, 'rang

I've got no need to pretend I
I've got no need to pretend I
I've got no need to pretend I
She want the key, she want the car, she want the crib
I got a bit it might be about that
And my moves might be about that
Somebody pulling me to feel yo yo
Try to leave but I still don't go

Even if I wanted to, I come back around
Even if I wanted to, I come back and
We just go around, baby
Bang, bang boomerang
Do you love me or hate me now, baby
Bang, bang boomerang
I can't believe it all began with a joke and champagne
I really never cared about it
But if you plantin', I'm plantain

Ooh, you got me feeling like boomerang
Bomerang, boomerang, 'rang
Got me feeling like boomerang
Bomerang, boomerang, boomerang, 'rang

Lookin' out of the window, 'bout the things I do
Lookin' out of the window, 'bout the things I do
I'm taking my secrets, I got this, I don't need friends
You taught me that I need them
'Cause everything comes back around baby

Bang, bang boomerang
Do you love me or hate me now, baby
Bang, bang boomerang
I can't believe it all began with a joke and champagne
I really never cared about it
You be plantin' a plantain

Ooh, you got me feeling like boomerang
Bomerang, boomerang, boomerang, 'rang




Got me feeling like boomerang
Bomerang, boomerang, boomerang, bang

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jidenna's song "Boomerang" are about a complicated relationship where one person is trying to leave, but keeps coming back around like a boomerang. The other person wants them to stay and is asking if they love or hate them. The first verse talks about the singer's desire to leave and have everything they want, but they are being pulled back by someone else. The chorus repeats the question of whether the other person loves or hates them and recognizes that they keep coming back around like a boomerang. The second verse continues with the theme of wanting to leave but being sucked back in, and then ends with the acknowledgement that everything comes back around in life.


On a deeper level, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on the cyclical nature of relationships and life in general. The boomerang serves as a metaphor for the idea that no matter how far we try to distance ourselves from something or someone, we inevitably end up coming back around to where we started. The lyrics suggest that this can be both frustrating and comforting at the same time.


Overall, "Boomerang" captures the complex emotions of a relationship that can't quite break free from its past, while acknowledging the circular nature of life.
