Song Meaning of “Pulled Out of You” by Motus Tenebrae
‘Pulled Out of You’ by Motus Tenebrae is a song about the power of moving on and coming to terms with the darkness and sadness that comes with heartbreak. The lyrics focus on the feeling of being pulled apart by the emotions surrounding a relationship’s end, and the longing for a return to wholeness.
The opening lyrics, “We used to be together, on fire, head in the clouds, feeling of forever” reflect a sense of nostalgia over the newfound emptiness. But as the song progresses, the narrator becomes increasingly self-aware and determined to move on: “Pain and silence taking me to the edge and I’m not breaking, no I’m not breaking,” they vow.
The chorus encourages the listener to look to the future and gain strength from within. “Won’t surrender, no I’m gonna be alright/Free again, free from you and the heartache tonight.” In the bridge, the narrator reaffirms their renewed resolution to “walk away” and “let go” in order to make peace with what’s gone: “And I won’t look back, I’m pulling out of you.”
‘Pulled Out of You’ is an inspiring song about taking charge of your own healing and emerging from darkness with newfound understanding and resilience.
