Meaning of “Boomerang” by Imagine Dragons
“Boomerang” by Imagine Dragons is a song about a romance the band’s lead singer, Dan Reynolds, is engaged in. The relationship (which is apparently between him and his wife Aja Volkman) is rife with trouble.
Indeed it is so tumultuous that it can seemingly expire at a moment’s notice. Yet despite the perpetual heartbreak, turmoil and confusion he experiences, he does not have the wherewithal to end the union. He concludes that the relationship is indeed faulty. However, these defects do not mean that he and his wife should stop loving each other. Instead he acknowledges the unbreakable power of attraction that his spouse has over him.
In all, he likens her to his boomerang. And as we all know, a boomerang will always find its way back to the thrower no matter how far it is thrown! Just like a boomerang and its thrower are never separated, so are Volkman and Reynolds.
