She-Wolf

The lyrics portray an encounter with a frightening, alluring woman who seems to overpower the speaker. At first, her beauty and sexual appeal draw him in; then the mood turns toward fear, danger, and surrender. The repeated warning about the she-wolf makes the attraction feel less like romance and more like a trap.

Several images mix human desire with animal threat. Her “poisonous” lips suggest that a kiss or intimacy may be harmful, while “teeth of terror” and the she-wolf’s “bite” turn seduction into an attack. “The lioness will enslave me” implies that the speaker feels controlled by his desire, not simply charmed. The “sound of claws on cobblestone” gives the imagined predator a vivid presence in the night.

The lyrics can be read as a fantasy of dangerous temptation: the woman is presented as both desirable and threatening, while the speaker describes himself as unable to resist. The language is deliberately dramatic, using a predatory creature to express fear of being dominated or hurt. It is not clear whether the she-wolf is meant as a literal supernatural being or as a symbol for an overpowering sexual attraction.
