The album initially reminisces on simpler times: summer love, youthful innocence, and meeting new people at camp. Wolf provides a narrative of how innocence is destroyed. Wolf replies that if heвЂ™d seen him he would have killed him (вЂњLoneвЂќ). TC asking Wolf if heвЂ™s seen Sam anywhere. Once Sam finds out whatвЂ™s been going on between Wolf and Salem, he vows to kill Wolf and kills WolfвЂ™s friend Earl (вЂњRustyвЂќ), culminating in a fight breaking out between SamвЂ™s and WolfвЂ™s allies (вЂњTrashwangвЂќ). Wolf meets his rival/alter-ego Sam (вЂњWolf), and soon finds himself in love with SamвЂ™s girlfriend Salem and begins seeing her behind SamвЂ™s back (вЂњPartyIsntOver/Campfire/BimmerвЂќ). Wolf is a side-story not directly connected to the storyline of Bastard and Goblin, narrating the title character WolfвЂ™s experiences at a summer camp named Camp Flog Gnaw.

Rather, Wolf hides TylerвЂ™s deeply rooted issues behind a mask of smooth, Summery music. The harsh beats and violent lyrics of previous tracks like вЂњYonkersвЂќ and вЂњTron CatвЂќ are all but absent on Wolf, appearing only in a few tracks over the albumвЂ™s 70 minute span. In fact, вЂmellowвЂ™ would probably be the best way to sum the album up as a whole in one word. Tyler had long stated that his next planned album Wolf would move away from the violent themes of Bastard and Goblin and be far mellower album. Tyler, the Creator has always been known for his shock-value lyrics, dark themes, and tight production, and with 2011вЂ™s Goblin all three of these elements reached their apex.
