The Head is the Glasses dude, The Heart is the girl and The Mind is the bike guy
The glasses dude escapes from stress, maybe family one (the red scene the guy grabs his head, with stress you get headaches) The Girl has a broken heart, The red scene shows her trying to grab someone, even screaming. and the Bike guy is depression, falling into the sad abyss, everything is be sad, every moment every decision, maybe that's why there is many wolves.

Ik everyone under the sun has talked about the symbolism of addiction with each character but I really enjoy how each character reacts to the wolf and the details you can derive from their reactions.
how the glasses guy who a lot of people think he's an alcoholic but I don't think people ever really say that the coin he has is likely a sobriety chip, the way he examines it and hands it away after getting that drink makes it feel very much like it is him falling back into the addiction rather than it being a constant, and his reaction to the wolf reflects that as he runs out of fear of his addiction returning.
the girl initially reacts with some fight, but after seeing it has no effect resorts to running, which could give the idea that she's tried to quit before and failed, ultimately choosing to run from the problem rather than stand ground and face it.
even though we don't really see the reaction of the biker (probably because with his addiction theorized to be thrill seeking and speeding it's likely the wolf just showed up while he was riding and he saw it) what you can see is how determined to outrun the problem and when finally has to confront the wolves he is visibly teared up over it but ultimately chooses to stand his ground.
just love the personality of each character shining through and giving a insight as to not only their addictions but their willingness to overcome them

Has anyone else noticed in the beginning, only a single wolf was chasing the guy on the motorcycle, but when we see him again later, a lot more are chasing him. And then, at the end, there's a whole horde behind them. Almost like it's saying that running from your problems instead of facing them only creates new problems and makes things worse in the long run.

LYRIC
Each and every day hiding from the sunshine
Wandering in the shade, not too old, not too young
Every night again dancing with the moonlight
Somewhere far away, I can hear your call
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
'Cause you can run, but you can't hide, I'm gonna make you mine
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
'Cause I can feel how your flesh now is crying out for more
Ain't no fairytale what I see in your eyes
Awaiting your mistake, not too close, not too far
Sneaking in the pain, every truth becomes lie
I won't trust myself once I hear your call
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
'Cause you can run, but you can't hide, I'm gonna make you mine
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
'Cause I can feel how your flesh now is crying out for more
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
I'm out of my head, of my heart and my mind
'Cause you can run, but you can't hide, I'm gonna make you mine
Out of my head, of my heart and my mind
'Cause I can feel how your flesh now is crying out for more

I wanna add that when ever the wolves are in darkness they transform and become more monsterlike i think this represents that if you just leave your problems alone in the dark they won't get better only worse also the guy at the beginning since he keeps only running away they multiply also showing you can't run also notice how the wolf that attacks him in the front is the original wolf and he had to deal with it

Many people have probably already said this, but I think that the wolves aren't even real. They are simply the people's problems fromes into a physical manifestation. Everybody tries to run away from their problems, one at a time, but as the wolves become an army, it symbolizes that the problems are multiplying, that running away from them isn't gonna solve them, but just make them worse.
The finale also symbolizes them confronting their problems, the man getting up, screaming as he runs towards the wolves. The lyrics sound like they come from the enemy's perspective. "cuz you can run but you can't hide, I'm gonna make you mine!" is basically saying that the problems are slowly taking a toll on them with each passing second. The lyrics "I'm out of my head, of my heart, of my mind!" emphasizes that even more. Even the fact that nobody else notices that shows that it is happening only in their minds.

Honestly, the attention to detail in this video amazes me. I've rewatched this video more times than I can count, and here's a few things I personally noticed after my rewatches:
- The zoom-in to the wolf's eye at 2:10 represents an insider look into the struggles the 3 main characters face and how each of their respective addiction takes hold of them. A notable example is how the man with the glasses curls up into a ball as he clutches his head. Because of his polygon-like character model, he ends up resembling the cubes of alcohol that swirl around him, showing how he has become one with his addiction (and how the alcohol/mental turmoil is messing with his brain).
- Another cool example of the "addiction" motif is the girl with the cigarette. There is special emphasis on the cig being lit, hinting at the fact it's her personal coping mechanism for whatever issue she's dealing with. We see that it's also taken hold of her, though. At 1:32, we see the wolf coming from out of the shadows. But at 1:34, when the girl looks up, all we see is the cigarette smoke right where the wolf was positioned, which is metaphorical for how the wolf is her smoking addiction incarnate and that they are both one-in-the-same.
- The use of black and white goes a long way for the thematic of "the only way to solve your problems is to confront them directly". Throughout the video up until the very end, every shadow is perfectly animated to either exist alongside a character, be next to them, or be behind them as if it's following them. There are so many examples of this throughout the video, but my personal favorite is how the motorcycle man's relationship with the shadows progresses over time. When he goes through tunnels with shadows casting over him multiple times, it's metaphorical for how he's been through multiple lapses of struggle (I'm guessing mental health) and has spent his life running away from his problems alone. However, by the end of the video when he finally has friends around him who can empathize with his struggles, we see a fire (representative of his newfound confidence within himself) burning behind him, casting his own shadow in FRONT of him for the first and only time. He then actively charges in THE DIRECTION OF his shadow, finally showcasing how he's built up the courage and intent to face his problems head-on. I thought this particularly was a REALLY cool detail.
Kudos to RUDO Co. and SIAMES for making this artistic masterpiece. It's so much fun to analyze and you notice a new detail with almost every rewatch.
EDIT: After posting this I noticed another neat thing, which is that when the girl smashes the skateboard across the wolf's face, the wolf is startled for a bit and doesn't immediately chase after the girl. This is possibly analogous to how your hobbies can distract you from your addictions and mental turmoil, but it's not enough to keep them at bay forever.

The original source of inspiration and meaning behind the song and video is irrelevant: we can only interpret it from our own point of view. In my opinion, it's about facing your demons and whatever is chasing you. Nobody walks through this life without suffering the slings and arrows that test our resolve as human beings.
