Boomerang
Boomerang
I ain't coming back

Stuck in photographs is where I left your heart
'Cause you didn't want to try
Now you're crawling back as someone who is in the picture
You're too late to change my mind

And even if you're begging there on bending knees
It's the end of the road for you and me
I thought you said you'd be okay
And you can take yourself to church and pray that I
Find a way to fit you in my life
And you've already faded to grey

I don't know what you've been on
But it's got you hallucinating
Don't see an invitation
You ain't got a chance
I don't know what you've been on
'Cause you let me walk away
This ain't a boomerang
I ain't coming back

I ain't coming back
I don't know what you've been on
'Cause you let me walk away
This ain't a boomerang

Not a word you say can make me feel any different
Still the one who broke my heart
Not my fault you couldn't see everything you're missing
Don't wanna fix, 'til it falls apart

And even when you're begging there on bending knees
It's the end of the road for you and me
Looks like you're not really okay
So go and take yourself to church and pray that I
Find a way to fit you in my life
'Cause you're already done and erased

I don't know what you've been on
But it's got you hallucinating
Don't see an invitation
You ain't got a chance
I don't know what you've been on
'Cause you let me walk away
This ain't a boomerang

Overall Meaning

"Boomerang" by Le Youth is a song that expresses the singer's determination to move on from a broken relationship. The repeated words "Boomerang" and "I ain't coming back" indicate that the relationship is over and the singer is resolute in his decision to move forward.

The lyrics reveal the singer's frustration with his partner's past behavior that caused the relationship to end. He mentions that he left her heart in photographs, as his partner didn't want to try to make things work. Now that she is crawling back and trying to be a part of his life, he feels it's too late to change his mind. Even though she's begging him and crawling on her knees, he still doesn't want to give her a second chance, as it's the end of the road for them.

The verse "I don't know what you've been on, but it's got you hallucinating" indicates that the singer thinks his ex-partner is living in a world of illusion if she thinks he would come back to her. The chorus repeats the idea that this relationship is not a boomerang and he won't be coming back.
