She Wolf
Sia/David Guetta 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 your 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
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
The lyrics of "She Wolf" by Sia and David Guetta convey the theme of an intense, passionate, and predatory love, where the singer is caught up in the complexities of their emotions. The opening lines suggest that the singer is lost in time and space, and doesn't know where to start with their story. They feel hunted, like a deer in the headlights, by their lover who is compared to a wolf, a predator.
From there, the lyrics discuss the intensity of the relationship, where the singer's lover is hungry for their flesh, and the singer cannot compete with the "she wolf" who has "brought them to their knees". The she-wolf is portrayed as alluring and dangerous, with her "yellow eyes" perhaps a reference to the predatory nature of actual wolves.
The middle section of the song portrays the singer as being betrayed by their lover, who may have been using them as bait to catch other prey. The singer confesses that they thought they were a part of their lover, but feel alone and isolated now. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "I'm falling to pieces," conveying the emotional devastation of the singer's experience.
Overall, the lyrics of "She Wolf" paint a picture of a passionate but dangerous love, where the singer is caught up in the thrill of the chase, but ultimately suffers the consequences.

You feel, is a sin

I lay with the wolves

Alone, it seems
I am isolated and without allies
I thought I was part of you
I believed we were connected and in harmony
Falling to pieces
Complete emotional disintegration and collapse
