She Wolf
GUETTA & 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

The lyrics of "She Wolf" by GUETTA & SIA depict a relationship in which the singer feels hunted and overwhelmed by their lover. The first verse establishes the feeling of being lost and chased, with the predator/prey imagery. The second verse suggests that the lover's desire for the singer is consuming and intense, but ultimately not enough - the she wolf is the competition that the singer cannot compete with.


The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm falling to pieces," which suggests that the singer is becoming undone by the intensity of the relationship. The line "What do you see in those yellow eyes?" could be interpreted as the singer questioning what the lover sees in them, or asking what kind of person could be so ruthless and predatory.


Overall, the song is about being consumed by desire and feeling like a victim of that intense passion. The she wolf represents the ultimate object of desire - untameable and unattainable.

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
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)
