1) Beaver is a stoner rock band from the Netherlands. Beaver gained some fame with a split EP with Queens of the Stone Age (Man's Ruin), when it was still just a Josh Homme side-project, not a band. They also backed Josh on his stoner-hymn "18 A.D" on the "Burn One Up" album.
2) Jonathan "Beaver" Sheppard, born in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, Canada.
Known simply around town as Beaver, he makes low-fi bedroom 4-track songs with his guitar and pieces of drum kit lying around his apartment. Occasionally he'll tamper with sounds on his mpc2000 and fruity loops.
Live performances are epic, intimate, heart-warming and sincere. His spastic strumming, garbled and personal lyrics, and sometimes wailing vocals can be compared to that of Daniel Johnston.
Beaver has shared the stage with: Sunset Rubdown, Billy Childish, Xiu Xiu, Frog Eyes, Ris Paul Rick, Think About Life and many others.
3) Beaver was an early 80s hardcore punk band from the US. They released one self-titled 7" in 1981.

A Premonition
Beaver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No superstition
I experience a premonition
Out there
After a dark night
By the first light
I'll see an outline
There's a bridge there
To grant me passage
You will be mine
In "A Premonition", Beaver is describing a premonition he's experienced, and how it's not based on superstition or mystery, but a feeling he's having about the future. He describes how after a dark night, there will be a bridge under construction that he will be able to cross, and once he's crossed it, the person he's singing to will be his. The lyrics suggest a sense of destiny, almost fate-like, as if Beaver is certain that this future he's envisioned will come to pass.
The song is open to interpretation, but it could be about the feeling of finding someone you're deeply in love with, and knowing that they are the one you're meant to be with. The construction of the bridge is a metaphorical representation of the journey to find this person, and the idea that once you've found them, you'll know it.
Line by Line Meaning
It's no mystery
The events to come are not shrouded in mystery
No superstition
I do not believe in blind luck or chance
I experience a premonition
An unexplainable feeling foretells an event in my future
Out there
At some distance from my current location
After a dark night
Following a period of emotional turmoil or difficulty
By the first light
At dawn or at the first sign of light
I'll see an outline
I will discern a hazy image or impression
There's a bridge there
A physical bridge exists at this location
Under construction
Currently undergoing building or repair
To grant me passage
I will be able to cross it safely and effectively
You will be mine
I will achieve possession or control over you
