...song still sets the stage well for the album, as Trapper tries to remain catchy while exploring serious issues.In the third song, from which the album takes its name, singer-songwriter Eric Earley paints an intriguing picture of what it would be like to have his skin turn to fur and then to join a pack of wolves, only to return to society after years in the wilderness.As with many of their songs, “Furr” seems to have deeper implications than the lyrics superficially imply.

...world is serious out there. Not only am I in the thick of classes and all else that school entails, but with the downward turn in the financial markets, even that “outside world” seems pretty heavy right now.

...fiddled with his stolen cravat and practiced his Italian accent.“Eh...veridamente molto bene. A-pleased-ah to meet you signora! Mozzarella...vino...andante!”Squeaking slightly, the miniature engine pulled into the station. The coupling rod of the middle wheel slowly and rhythmically turned and straightened.
