“House of Wolves” is a fiery and fast-paced track, setting the scene for The Patient’s arrival in Hell.
Throughout the song, The Patient contemplates the dueling concepts of innocence and wickedness, weighing the worth of what he’s done in his life and how he’s sinned.
The song was described by the band on the feature My Chemical Romance Welcomes You To The Black Parade (from the deluxe version of the album) as being the patient’s glimpse into hell, which was imagined as a fiery jazz club filled with demons, wolves, and sinners.
The phrase by itself has no meaning, but by looking closer at the song itself we can take some guesses.
“House of Wolves” is part of the concept album The Black Parade which follows The Patient through his journey in death in after. This song can be interpreted as when The Patient goes to Hell.
The title “House of Wolves” could simply be referring to Hell. Wolves are generally seen as unapproachable things- something you’d want to stay away from. A house could fit a ton of them, and that many in one space would be very unfavorable.
Hell is pretty similar, as in it’s a place that you wouldn't want to be, filled with things you wouldn’t want to meet.
