Okay, I will attempt to provide a veritable blow-by-blow analysis of this song's lyrical content in another post, operating under the assumption that Kevin is in fact afflicted with some form of psychosis, or psychotic disorder. Accepting the above supposition as true (for the sake of argument), one preemptive point can be made now - wolves seem to play an integral role in the, shall we say, esoteric cosmology of Kevin's psychoses: for instance, in addition to this song's title, wolves appear in the artwork for "False Priest," and in a line from "And I've Seen A Bloody Shadow" which recounts having to hide from a digital wolf. If there is causality between these wolf references, the implicit nature of the wolves is then (hypothetically) that they are invading (perhaps resurgent) hyperspatial and/or pandimensional entities - they an "anti-human army" which has already gained the support of our human systems (they are embraced by both government and organised religion), has dispatched spies (both scouts and deep-cover operatives) for reconnaissance purposes, and ultimately seeks to usurp humanity's position as the dominant species on earth via transubstantiation of form.
