Written in response to a close friend’s escape from an abusive marriage, Boomerang channels both ferocious anger and total equanimity, a dynamic that heightens the drama in Yebba’s thwarted revenge fantasy.
[Verse 1]
If I shoot him in the stomach
Then he’s hurting on my dime
And if I shoot him in the head, then he’s dead and he’s livin’ on my mind
My reflection in the mirror
Her perfection in his eyes
I’m a danger to myself
I run from twelve
And take my rage across the county line, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t let this go
Not my tomorrow
Don’t forget your pride, it’s laying in her bed of sorrow
[Chorus]
What you done to me
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang
Wooooo
Wooooo
Woooooooooo
[Verse 2]
You knew my daddy didn’t like you
From the moment you two met
Hе knew too well, you would drag me through Hеll
And never come back for the baby we’d regret
Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t let this go
Not my tomorrow
Don’t forget your pride
It’s laying in her bed of sorrow
[Chorus]
What you, what you done to me
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang
Woooooo
Wooooo
Woooooooooo
What you done to me
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang
And knock you to your knees
I swear to you it’s gonna come back like a boomerang
Woooooo
Woooo
Wooooo

Another piece of my Dawn, ‘Boomerang’ is out in 30 minutes – it’s song that has symbolized maybe a fraction of my rage at life. There’s no virtue signaling I can do with this-just angry. Now, I’m happy to share it with you. I love everybody.
