She Wolf
Beth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A shot in the dark
A past, lost in space

Where do I start?
The past, and the chase?

You hunted me down
Like a wolf, a predator
I felt like a deer in love lights.

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...

Overall Meaning

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.

Personally I think she is amazing at singing. A cover is not always ment to match the actual song.

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
