This is my interpretation, and what the song means to me. Not necessarily the actual meaning of the song.
My ex-husband had me listen to this song early in our relationship in 2010. We tried for 5 years but our mutual mental health issues left us unable to stay together, but we stayed best friends and talked weekly as I moved across the country. Neither of us knew he had schizophrenia, he succumbed to full schizophrenic delusions during the pandemic and was hospitalized after violent episodes. He said he could feel it from his early 20's, from the time we loved this song. For me the wolves were there before our marriage when my "hands were naked" and we danced to this song he loved. He could see the wolves as I left. Since our divorce he woke up cold and lonesome never getting into another relationship. One day he woke up with the wolves everywhere, very literally the wolves took over his existence until they were controlling his whole life. And now I listen to this song to remember the past, even if it makes me cry.
