She Wolf
Beth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A past, lost in space
Where do I start?
The past, and the chase?
You hunted me down
Like a wolf, a predator
You loved me and I froze in time
Hungry for that flesh of mine
But I can't compete with a she wolf who has brought me to my knees
What do you see in those yellow eyes
Cause I'm falling to pieces.
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces.
Did she lie in in wait
Was I bait to pull you in
The thrill of the kill
You feel, is a sin
I lay with the wolves
Alone, it seems
I thought I was part of you.
You loved me and I froze in time
Hungry for that flesh of mine
But I can't compete with a she wolf who has brought me to my knees
What do you see in those yellow eyes
Cause I'm falling to pieces.
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces.
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces...
The song "She Wolf" by Beth speaks about a past love affair that left her shattered and broken. The opening lines, "A shot in the dark, a past lost in space, where do I start? The past and the chase?" convey her confusion and uncertainty about how to come to terms with the sudden end of the relationship. She then goes on to describe how her lover relentlessly pursued her 'like a wolf,' and in his eyes, she saw a hunger for "flesh of mine." However, she eventually realizes that she can't compete with a "she wolf" who has brought her to her knees. The song ends on a note of sorrow as the singer knows that she is falling into pieces.
The metaphor of a 'she wolf' she uses here stands for the kind of predatory nature her lover has: wild, unstoppable, fierce, and unrelenting. The singer, on the other hand, is like a deer caught in headlights, frozen by these advances she had never anticipated. She, too, had been in pursuit of love, but her lover's attitude merely breaks her heart, and she falls to pieces over it.

This is just beautiful, so soothing, and your voice is so sweet and soft, and the instrumental is gorgeous too. Great job!
@MissILovePink1
Personally I think she is amazing at singing. A cover is not always ment to match the actual song.

Love her, calming voice from the heights of heaven, yaman! Luv ya Beth ❤

Hi Beth,
Your acoustic version of "she wolf" I find really good. You have a clear voice and a lot of breath. You set the tone perfectly ... Your version touched my heart much more than the original ... Thank you for this ... Jan Olsson
@haleyharper4908

@jaceytollett6979
