As the lyrics do state "Several years ago..."

JP was an adult when this happened. But he was scared for good reason. Pay particular attention to the lines:

Maybe you'll recall A cannibal curator A character inspired By my brother's life.

The Count of Tuscany is taking him to the man that the character HANNIBAL LECTER was based off of. Yea, you know, the elegant psycopath from "The Silence of the Lambs"? (In the second film "Hannibal" he becomes the new curator of the Capponi Library under the name "Dr. Fell")

The reason JP was frightened was because he thought he was going to be KILLED, SLAUGHTERED, AND EATEN. I'd say that's a good enough reason as any to be afraid as a grown man!

Cannibal? Ohhh... the whole song just clicked haha! Thanks!
