He's torn.

Amazing song. The "trapped" references are him saying that the guilt is tearing him up but he hasn't the courage to admit to his crime. He doesn't want to be seen as a bad person, but deep down he knows he is, at least partly.

It's about an accident, yes, but then the internal struggle and guilt that follow.
