Mumford & Sons – The Wolf Lyrics 9 years ago
i think the wolf means us. what I mean is that the wolf is our ego, an insatiable animal.

where the lyric picks up is a realization that our ego has led us astray (our "wide-eyed" terror (that reeks of existentialism)) but a memory of something more stirs (that "all I ever longed for", that something "to love in kind") to provide him some inkling of a path to redemption.
