Lyrics
I'm a boomerang
I am like a boomerang, a returning object.
In the outback
In the remote and wild interior of Australia.
Keep your throwing arm steady
Keep your throwing arm steady, suggesting a need for stability.
So I get home
So I come back home, like a boomerang returning.
I'm a vampire bat
I compare myself to a vampire bat.
Out in shanghai
In the bustling city of Shanghai.
Haven't eaten in four days
Expressing deprivation, not having eaten for four days.
I've ordered in a Chinese takeaway
Despite the hunger, I resort to ordering Chinese takeaway.
I show more than I hide
I am open and revealing rather than secretive.
I care more than I cry
I am more caring than I show sadness through tears.
I'm a phonograph baby
Comparing oneself to a phonograph, an old music player.
My wires are live
My emotions are vivid and intense, like live wires.
And I'm in crisscross
Feeling entangled or confused in a crisscross pattern.
Fine. I feel fine.
Expressing contentment or acceptance; I feel fine.
I'm a fortune cookie
Comparing oneself to a fortune cookie, containing advice.
Full of cheap advice
The advice given is simple and may lack depth.
I'm a suicide rookie
Describing oneself as a beginner in handling difficult situations.
Blowing last call
Dealing with the consequences of a late decision or action.
Show more than I hide
Reiterating the theme of openness and honesty.
Care more than I can cry
Emphasizing the contrast between caring and showing emotions.
I'm a phonograph baby
Repeating the comparison to a phonograph, indicating emotional intensity.
My wires are live
Highlighting the intensity of emotions, akin to live wires.
And I'm in crisscross
Feeling entangled or confused in a crisscross pattern.
Fine. I feel fine.
Reiterating a sense of contentment or acceptance; I feel fine.
