She Wolf
Sia (Feat. David Guetta) 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," Sia explores themes of vulnerability, betrayal, and the destructive nature of love. The opening lines immediately set a dark and melancholic tone, as she describes herself as lost in space and unsure of where to begin. The image of being hunted by a predator, specifically a wolf, brings a sense of danger and instability to the relationship she is describing. She feels like prey, unable to escape the pursuit of this powerful force that has taken over her life.


As the song progresses, Sia describes the passion and intensity of her romance with the wolf, but also the devastation that it has caused her. She knows that she can never measure up to this other woman, the "she wolf," who has captured the attention and affection of her lover. Despite her best efforts, she is falling apart, losing herself in the all-consuming emotions of love and desire.


Overall, "She Wolf" is a haunting and emotional exploration of the darker side of love, where the line between passion and destruction is blurred and the pain of heartbreak can consume us completely.

I felt like a deer in love lights
You loved me and I froze in time
Hungry for that flesh of mine
