I love this song - he sounds just so tired and paranoid. I don't know what it's really about, but to me sounds like someone who has lived in a really rough place, who's had everything taken from them and fears being killed.
'he can hang my neck from the old flagpole'
a referance to the persecution of black people in the USA? Or maybe I'm reading too much into that.
The 'souljacker' could be a play on 'car-jacker', as in someone who steals cars. Maybe he's just an ordinary guy who's had everything stolen from him, and now feel so paranoid, he's worried they'll take his soul.
'[but atleast they] can't get my soul' is his only comfort, beautiful sound.
