Falling to Pieces
David Guetta & Nicky Romero Ft. Sia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A past, lost in space
And 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
Hungry for that flesh of mine
But I can't compete with the 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
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces
Did she lie and 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 the 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
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces (Falling to pieces)
Falling to pieces (Falling to pieces)
I'm falling to pieces (Falling to pieces)
Falling to pieces (Falling to pieces)
The lyrics of "Falling to Pieces" by David Guetta, Nicky Romero, and Sia touch on the theme of a failed relationship where the female protagonist is left feeling defeated by a manipulative and controlling partner. The opening lines set the mood of uncertainty and confusion, as the singer's past feels like a distant memory, and she is unsure about how to proceed in her current situation. The metaphor of the predator and the prey is prevalent throughout the song as the male partner is likened to a wolf, and the female protagonist to a deer caught in the headlights.
In the chorus, the lyrics "But I can't compete with the she wolf who has brought me to my knees" indicate that the male partner's intensity overpowers the singer, leaving her feeling helpless and vulnerable. The use of the word "she wolf" lends an animalistic quality to the male partner's behavior, emphasizing his predatory nature. Later on, the lyrics highlight the singer's self-doubt as she questions whether she was deliberately entrapped by her partner. The use of wolf imagery drives this point home, as the phrase "I lay with the wolves" brings to mind a pack of predators out for blood.
Overall, the song is a powerful anthem to the struggles of being caught up in an intense and potentially damaging relationship. The rich imagery used throughout the lyrics paints a vivid picture of the singer's experiences, and the powerful use of metaphor makes "Falling to Pieces" an unforgettable piece of art.
Line by Line Meaning
A shot in the dark
Starting off blindly and uncertainly
A past, lost in space
Memories that are faded and far away
And where do I start?
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to begin
The past and the chase
Constantly pursuing and reminiscing about what has been lost
You hunted me down
Pursued with intense force and aggression
Like a wolf, a predator
Comparing the intensity of the chase to that of a wild animal
I felt like a deer in love lights
Overwhelmed and stunned by the intensity of the pursuit and affection
You loved me and I froze in time
Overwhelmed and taken aback by the depth of affection
Hungry for that flesh of mine
Desiring every bit of the other person physically
But I can't compete with the she wolf who has brought me to my knees
Unable to match the intensity and passion of someone else
What do you see in those yellow eyes?
Questioning the true intentions and emotions of the other person
'Cause I'm falling to pieces
Feeling lost and fragmented emotionally
Did she lie and wait
Wondering if the other person was deceiving and setting a trap
Was I bait, to pull you in
Feeling used and manipulated to gain affection
The thrill of the kill
Satisfaction gained from achieving the goal of winning over another person's affection
You feel, is a sin
Realizing that the intense desire and pursuit of the other person is unhealthy and wrong
I lay with the wolves
Being caught up in a situation with people who are potentially dangerous or manipulative
Alone, it seems
Feeling isolated and disconnected from others in the situation
I thought I was part of you
Believing that there was a connection and bond in the relationship
Falling to pieces
Repeating the realization and recognition of feeling lost and fragmented

A shot in the dark
A past, lost in space
And where do I start?
The past and the chase
You hunted me down
Like a wolf, a predator
I felt like a deer in your lights
[chorus:]
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
Did she lie in wait?
Was I a 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
