Ava Della Pietra’s Marionette Weaves Theatrical Elegance with Haunting Emotion
Ava Della Pietra’s new single Marionette moves like a puppet caught between tension and release, its strings pulled taut by eerie strings and a pulsing rhythm that never quite lets go.
The indie-pop track leans into theatricality, blending classical flourishes with brooding electronic undertones, creating a sense of both elegance and unease.
The song opens with an atmospheric soundscape, delicate notes and ghostly string arrangements, setting a stage where control and power struggles take centre focus.
Ava’s vocals waver between soft surrender and quiet resistance, mirroring the emotional conflict of the lyrics.
“Can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily,” she sings, her delivery haunting yet restrained, as if caught in a push-and-pull she can’t quite escape.
“‘Marionette’ is about feeling controlled by someone who takes advantage of that power—like a marionette struggling to cut the strings,” Ava explains. “It’s about knowing you have the strength to walk away but still feeling trapped in an unhealthy connection.”
The accompanying music video brings her vision to life, blending vaudeville aesthetics, gothic costuming, and surreal choreography to heighten the song’s eerie atmosphere.
With its striking visuals and emotionally charged delivery, Marionette is a must-watch, cementing Ava Della Pietra as an artist unafraid to push creative boundaries.

Ava Della Pietra Marionette Lyrics
hold me like you own me
maybe now you do
touch me like you love me
make me think it’s true
my strings are frayed, dear puppeteer
have mercy, let me disappear
you whisper softly in my ear
i need you near
can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
and you’re holding my thread
like a marionette
can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
from the moment we met
been your marionette
like a marionette
(ha ha ha ha ha ha)
only
when you’re lonely
i’m your saving grace your angel
and it’s painful
trapped in your embrace
you keep my face wrapped in your hands
spin me around ‘til i can’t stand
your voice will echo in my mind
‘til the end of time
can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
and you’re holding my thread
like a marionette
can’t help it, you’re controlling me so easily so easily
from the moment we met
been your marionette
swear i’m stronger than this
but you’re so damn hard to resist
and i know you didn’t mean
to say you love me
you’re controlling me so easily
(so easily)
controlling me so easily
can’t help it, you’re controlling me
and you’re holding my thread
like a marionette
oh controlling me so easily
from the moment we met
been your marionette
(ha ha ha ha ha ha)
