She Wolf
Sia feat. David Guetta - She Wolf 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

The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of falling apart or "falling to pieces," suggesting that the singer is being destroyed by the relationship.
