it's possibly about a first crush/love: 'I'm absorbed in your thinking'. And how he was confused about his feelings for her hence 'legions upon legions of craftsmen handmade my feelings'. suggesting they are delicate and intricate thoughts. he kept it to himself though I think as the lyrics say 'and you don't know'.
I think the bear thing is just a metaphor, he was scared of revealing his feelings so he kept them inside, not leaving the 'chalet' so he was at no danger of being harmed by 'bears'.
maybe idk....
