Boomerang
Mammoth City Messengers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How will I dish it when I′m taking all that I can stand
It's clear I′ve got a right to make you understand my point
But will reaction really solve it all
Gotta make a choice
At the end
Pushed past where I can stand
I'm sure there's another way
To sort out what′s wrong today
I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It′s coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)
Another day and here's a chance for me to do what′s right
What I believe gives me ideas to be a different light
And if I'm weak I know that he can understand my heart
And help me walk in love
Keep me going on when the road gets long
Want to be
Someone that he competes
And I′ll be different
When there's another way to live in the world today
I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It′s coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)
(Life is a boomerang)
Life is a boomerang
Life is a boomerang
I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It's coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)
I get back everything I do
Who I am to you
Is gonna come right back
You know when good or bad finds me I can see
It's coming back at me
Life is a boomerang
(Boomerang)
Life is a boomerang
Life is a boomerang
Life is a boomerang
Life is a boomerang
The Mammoth City Messengers's song Boomerang is a reflection of the concept of karma, which is the belief that what one does in life will come back to them in some form, whether good or bad. The song expresses the idea that the choices we make and the actions we take have consequences, and we need to be mindful of how we treat others and the world around us. The opening lyrics suggest that things have gotten out of hand and the singer is struggling to cope. They assert their right to make others understand their point of view, but question whether a reactionary response will solve the problem. The chorus emphasizes the belief that life is a boomerang; what we put out into the world will come back to us, good or bad.
The second verse suggests that the singer has had an opportunity to make a positive change and take a different path. They acknowledge their own weaknesses and the role that others can play in supporting them. The lyrics express a sense of hope and determination to be a better person and live in a kinder world. The idea that life is a boomerang is reinforced in the refrain, reminding us that we are all connected and responsible for our own actions.
Overall, Boomerang is a song that promotes mindfulness, empathy, and personal responsibility. It encourages us to be aware of the consequences of our choices and strive to be a positive force in the world.
