Beartrap Island Lyrics
You can't have me,
I won't go, I'm not yours to move,
Or own, or spin around the room,
And if you're so strong, then how come
I can scrawl this down at all?
I can't give you a name, but I can
Bring my fist (with the force of the rain)
Down on you (in that other place).
My arm comes back all sticky,
But you're removed, for now.
You'll come around again
As a dirty kid
With insects all in your mouth.
But, after thirteen months
On Beartrap Island,
I'll have learned the words
To bring you down.
I won't go, I'm not yours to move,
Or own, or spin around the room,
And if you're so strong, then how come
I can scrawl this down at all?
I can't give you a name, but I can
Bring my fist (with the force of the rain)
Down on you (in that other place).
My arm comes back all sticky,
But you're removed, for now.
You'll come around again
As a dirty kid
With insects all in your mouth.
But, after thirteen months
On Beartrap Island,
I'll have learned the words
To bring you down.

dunno about you guys, but i'd love to hear some ideas about this one.
my vague guess: beartrap island is some kind of place where evil souls might be captured, or where one strong evil being brings people/souls. the narrator is one of these people, maybe a written down journal about their strife with the strong evil being.
or maybe i've just watched too much LOST.
