To me this song is about alcohol abuse/addiction.
And a relationship between a father and a son.
My father was an OK father, when sober. He looked normal. Like a wolf, in this song.
When he was drunk, the expression in his face turned and he raged. Into a werewolf, of sorts.
I couldn't recognize him, he was terrifying. I was only 5-6, (I think) since conciousness/awareness didn't "kick" in earlier, lol...
My parents divorced when I was 12, just about or had hit puberty etc.
Here I am, turning into the werewolf myself at the ripe age of 34.
Just my interpretation, seeing as Daddy Hetfield & Jaymz himself also struggled with alcohol.
