Pulling my Strings by DreamyCow - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro - Lo-fi Pop Acoustic Loop, Dream Pop Ambient Pad, Jangle Pop Guitar Picking, Soft Grunge Chord Wash]

Are you just pulling my heartstrings?

Or are you actually into me?

I can’t tell if this feeling’s real

Or just a trick of the melody

[Verse 1 - Melodic Emo Rap Flow, Lo-fi Beat Layer, Jangle Pop Guitar Accents, Indie Rock Bass Pulse]

Your eyes catch mine, then they slide away

Like a sunrise fading halfway

We laugh at nothing, but it feels like more

A secret I’m not ready to ignore

[Pre-Chorus - Dream Pop Reverb Swell, Soft Grunge Power Chord Rise, Raspy Vocal with Pop Rock Drum Build]

And I’m stuck between

The truth and a dream

Are you playing a scene

Or letting me in?

[Chorus - Catchy Upbeat Pop Punk Power Chords, Explosive Drums, Shoegaze Lead Guitar Wall, Emo Pop Harmonies]

Are you just pulling my heartstrings,

For the thrill of the sound?

Or are you standing beside me,

When the lights all go down?

I’m holding on to the echoes,

But the silence won’t speak—

Tell me, are you into me?

[Instrumental Break - Indie Rock Guitar Riff, Shoegaze Delay Trails, Synthwave Bass Swell Underneath]

[Verse 2 - Melodic Emo Rap Flow with Syncopated Indie Rock Drums, Lo-fi Pop Textures, Dream Pop Guitar Layer]

I’ve been here before, in the grey between lines

Where a maybe can hurt worse than no every time

Your smile’s like a song I can’t stop playing

But the words underneath… I don’t know what they’re saying

[Pre-Chorus - Soft Grunge Sustain, Pop Rock Snare Build, Synthwave Pad Undercurrent, Raspy Falsetto Drop]

And I’m stuck between

The truth and a dream

Are you breaking me down

Or setting me free?

[Chorus - Full Pop Punk Wall of Sound, Explosive Kick/Snare, Post-Emo Lead Guitar, Dream Pop Harmonies]

Are you just pulling my heartstrings,

For the thrill of the sound?

Or are you standing beside me,

When the lights all go down?

[Bridge - Half-Time Emo Pop Drum Groove, Shoegaze Guitar Swell, Synthwave Arpeggios, Raspy Spoken-Word Rap Delivery]

If this is a game, then I’m losing the score

If you’re in my life, why do I want more?

I’ll take every note, every high, every low

Just say the word and I’ll finally know

[Final Chorus - Explosive Drums, Pop Punk Rhythm Guitar, Shoegaze Lead, Dream Pop Pads, Lo-fi Pop Vocal Filter]

Are you just pulling my heartstrings,

For the thrill of the sound?

Or are you standing beside me,

When the lights all go down?

I’m holding on to the echoes,

But the silence won’t speak—

Tell me, are you into me?

[Outro - Lo-fi Pop Tape Fade, Indie Rock Guitar Harmonics, Dream Pop Pad Swell, Soft Grunge Chord Decay]

Are you into me…

Or just pulling the strings?
