I wrote this in a night, because I couldn't put the words to describe how I was feeling. I hope you can listen to the weight and how I try to stay optimistic. I hope this melody can also comfort another

Cimmerian Mix Series EP. 30 - Versa & Rowl

„Picobello“ von Lara Wolff ist ein Song über das große Spiel mit der Fassade.
„Wie geht’s dir?“ – „Super.“ Klar. Läuft. Läuft halt nicht.
Wer schon mal mit einem Lächeln gelogen hat, weil’s einfacher ist als die Wahrheit, wird sich hier wiederfinden.
Ein Text zwischen Trotz, Müdigkeit und diesem einen Funken Würde, den man nicht aufgibt – egal, wie kaputt man ist.
Keine Show. Kein Mitleid. Einfach echt.


“Picobello” by Lara Wolff is about saying “I’m fine” when everything inside screams the opposite.
It’s the mask we wear, the lie we tell, just to make it through the day.
If you’ve ever smiled just to shut people up, this one’s for you.
Tired, sharp, stubborn – and still standing.
No drama. No gloss. Just truth.

Picobello

What happens when passion meets fear?

The fiery intensity of Argentine Tango collides with the relentless energy of Drum and Bass in a story of a love caught in a painful cycle. It's the sound of a heart that wants to pull you in, but is too broken to do anything but push you away.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
How can I fall for it every time
A few sweet words and a nice long line
You're so good at saying what I want to hear
It must be why I'm still standing here

[Pre-chorus]
Tell me what the hell this is
If you love me
Baby
Then tell me it
I need to know so I can quit
Or give it all I've got

[Chorus]
You're pulling me in to push me away
Takin' me home just to tell me you need space
When you get close
It's too much
You say
And you're pulling me in to push me away
I don't know why I stick around
Maybe this time it'll work itself out
This back-and-forth
I can't take it now
You're pulling me in to push me away

[Verse 2]
And when you start to leave
I start to cry
I guess it's one way to keep you by my side
You're so good at saying what I wanna hear
It must be why I'm still standing here

[Pre-chorus]
Tell me what the hell this is
If you love me
Baby
Then tell me it
I need to know so I can quit
Or give it all I've got

[Chorus]
I'm letting you in but at my own pace
The closer we get the more i need space
When you reach out
I know I hesitate
I wish i was ready to trust love again
You wonder why you still hold on
Hoping this time i'll come around
This cycle spins
You're feeling it strong
I'm drawing you in because i want you, but how?

[Verse 3]
I can't lose again
My soul is too tired
I guess in the end it all turns to flames
Burning with passion, lust and desire
When love turns to games and spite fuels the fire
There's only one winner and i'm a survivor
My heart still shys away when she makes it brighter
Sometimes it flies from the ashes to rise but
I can't lose again my heart will expire

[Outro]
You're pushing me away to pull me back in  
Walking away so i can walk in,
When you draw near  
I get caught up  
I fear  
And you're pushing me away to pull me back in  
I can't quite seem to break the chain  
Hoping this time it'll ease the strain  
This give-and-take  
It's wearing me thin  
You're pushing me away to pull me back in
You're pulling me in to push me away
You're pushing me away to pull me back in
Just Pull me in, hold me, Don't let me go again
