Boomerang
Strip No Altar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you knew this since the first time
You run away and say "I won't come back"
But tonight I'll just fuck your best friend
You always come back
Like a boomerang
In your bed
You wanna me acting right
Walking in the line
You keep waiting for this
Every day and every night
I won't change
I won't promise you
This is my lifestyle
So what you gonna do?
You always come back
Like a boomerang
In your bed
Blood, tears, sex and pain
The lyrics of "Boomerang" by Strip No Altar are about a toxic relationship where the singer cannot be a good guy and is aware of this from the first time. The partner always walks away but comes back every time like a boomerang, looking for love, sex, and pain that seems to be intertwined in their relationship. The singer describes the partner trying to make him act right and walk in the line but the singer enjoys the lifestyle he has chosen and won't change or promise to do so.
The relationship is based on lust, pain, and complicated emotions, which are described through the metaphor of a boomerang where the partner keeps coming back no matter how many times she walks away. The blood, tears, sex, and pain are the only things that keep the relationship going. The singer knows that his lifestyle is not healthy or stable and is not the right way to move forward. Despite this, he feels compelled to continue living his life in this way because it's the only way he knows how to live.
