>> in the book they mention the beast hiding, always watching the children and they're always afraid of him, it also mentions its teeth.
"I'm trapped in my face and I'm changing
Too much"
>>> proving again that piggy's appearance is trapping him

its an interesting book to read about human nature.
this might not be their intention at all in the song. but it makes perfect sense if you know the themes in the story well.">
