She Wolf
Ft. Sia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
Falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces
Falling to pieces

Did she lie 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 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
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

Overall Meaning

In "She Wolf," a collaboration between Shakira and Australian singer Sia, the singer sings about being hunted down by a predator like a wolf. She is falling to pieces and cannot compete with the she wolf who has brought her to her knees. The lyrics suggest that the she wolf represents a powerful force that the singer feels powerless to resist.


The song is rich with imagery that evokes the wildness and danger of the wolf. The singer describes being hunted down like prey and feeling like a deer in the she wolf's headlights. The she wolf is portrayed as an irresistible force that the singer cannot escape.


While the lyrics can be interpreted in a number of ways, they could be seen as a metaphor for a toxic or abusive relationship. The predator and prey imagery suggests a power imbalance, with the predator exerting control over the prey. The line "I lay with the wolves, alone, it seems" could suggest that the singer has been taken advantage of by someone who is not what they seem.


Overall, "She Wolf" is a powerful and evocative song that explores themes of power, desire, and vulnerability.

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 love lights
You loved me and I froze in time
