Music and lyrical themes[edit]
During the writing process, the album was to be titled
Mourning in America, however after the 2016 United States
presidential election, the title and the album's lyrical theme
no longer held true. The lyrics in Wolves follow the band's
usual theme, being politically based, however this time
around the band tackles the 2016 presidential election.
 Songs like "How Many Walls", "Welcome to the Breakdown"
and the title track oppose the views of Donald Trump (just as
they did George W. Bush during his time in office) since the
band members are supporters of Democratic party, while
tracks like "House on Fire" and "Politics of Love" are more
personal, however retain some political leanings.[10] Vocalist
Tim McIlrath stated in an interview with The Shrine
Auditorium: "Wolves isn't about creating a safe space, it's
about creating a space that's dangerous for injustice".[10]
