Boomerang
Steven Strait Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Help me lord I thought I found it
Just like a dream turned out all wrong
Don't feel the same madness about me now
Don't feel the hurting when I'm gone.

Don't feel the wonder of the sweetness
Don't feel the aching need to share
Don't feel the way I feel without you girl
Just to fly was in your head.

Should I never look into your eyes again
Should I never want to make the call
Should I never need you like my only friend.
Should I read the writing on the wall.

Its just as simple as a feeling
Just as simple as these cards
Why do I feel so god damn complicated
Don't feel the aching need to share

It keeps coming back without you
Like a boomerang through my heart
And curse that cupid ain't even found me, no. Into the wound another dart.

Should I never look into your eyes again.
Should I never want to give my all.
Should I ever need you like my only friend.
Should I read the writing on the wall.

And all of it seems,
Hoping our dreams would fall together
Never to be,
If only one dream were dreams of love.

Help me lord I thought I found it.
Its like a dream turned out all wrong




Don't feel the same madness about me now
She loves to hear the sadness in my song.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Steven Strait's "Boomerang" portray the predicament of a man who thought he had found love, but it didn't turn out the way he had hoped. The song is about regret and heartbreak. The artist feels the absence of the strong emotions he once had for his lover. He can't feel the sweetness, the wonder, or the aching need to share his life with her. Instead, he is left with a feeling of emptiness. He wonders if he should sever all ties with her or whether he should try to rekindle the flame that once burned so brightly.


The title "Boomerang" is a metaphor for the way love can come back to haunt you. Just like a boomerang, the emotions you thought you had left behind come back to hit you. The lyrics suggest that the artist is frustrated with love: he can't forget his lover, and his emotions keep coming back to haunt him. He is deeply wounded and feels like he is being tossed around like a toy.


The song is a poignant reminder of the vagaries of love; it is never predictable or certain. Steven Strait's "Boomerang" is a deeply moving and melodic account of a love that wasn't quite what it seemed.
