Raw and enlightening. The title will throw you off, no doubt about that, as will the line "just tell me who's mother I have to kill," but the song is a reflection of life. The "wolves" are humans, and though we sometimes we do not realize it, the actions, perception, and beliefs that we hold against other people and that are attributed by harsh opinion and brutal misconception, in the end, tear us apart morally. We plot against one another, sometimes in harmless gossip or in full-blown world wars, and this leads to self-destruction because as one goes down, we all go down. "We're living on borrowed time" is common sense: our lives are too short to begin with and to not utilize the time we have on Earth is a waste. "And it looks like they want it back" is a reference to death, when (depending on your beliefs) we die and "meet our maker".
