Boomerang
N.D.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Come back to me
Spin in the air 'round and 'round
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air up and down
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
What can I do to make you go away
You can't 'cause I'm gonna stay
Whenever you leave you're always coming back
Prepare for a love attack
You don't know what to do
You're lost in the wind (in the wind)
You're flying alone in the sky above
Can't find love
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air up and down
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air 'round and 'round
Why do I feel so alone when you're gone?
Because I'm the only one
Stay with me, don't leave me anymore
Close your eyes, count to four
You don't know what to do
You're lost in the wind (in the wind)
You're flying alone in the sky above
Can't find love
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air up and down
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air 'round and 'round
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air up and down
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air 'round and 'round
I must be dreaming, can you see
Dreaming of you and me
I have to tell you what it is
Have to tell you the whole of it
You're leaving me here thinking
Thinking of you and me
Waiting to be free, free at last
You have to spin in the, spin in the air
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air up and down
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air 'round and 'round
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air up and down
Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang
Spin in the air 'round and 'round
The lyrics suggest a sense of neediness and desperation for someone's attention and affection. The repeated line "Come back to me like a boom boom boomerang, spin in the air 'round and 'round" conveys the desire for the person to return with an intense force, like a boomerang that comes back to the thrower with great speed and power. The rest of the lyrics elaborate on this theme, with lines like "Why do I feel so alone when you're gone?" and "Can't find love". The singer seems to be saying that when this person is gone, they feel lost and alone, and therefore crave their company again.
The bridge of the song serves to act as a cry for attention to the person the singer is referring to, saying, "I have to tell you what it is, have to tell you the whole of it, you're leaving me here thinking". This suggests that while the person may be physically present, they aren't giving the singer the attention or affection they desire. The bridge, along with the rest of the lyrics, convey a sense of insecurity and need for validation from another person.
