When asked about this, lead guitarist Kim Thayil has said that much of the time he didn't even realise he had written it that way. Many of Soundgarden's songs are not in the standard 4/4 time but some still become highly-rotated singles.

Bongsongs from UsaThis song sure seems to be about intense depression that was augmented by heavy heroin and alcohol use.Guarding his privacy is more likely, which was his prerogative. Perhaps subliminal on Cornel’s part? I doubt it. Oh and Andy Wood’s ring is on a string around Cornell’s neck in the video. The name of the first Mother Love Bone EP was. “Outshined, outshined, outshined, outshined”. Alice In Chains uses that phrase inverted, in their Wood tribute, Would? And the final nod to Andrew Wood is the chorus itself. Also I believe the use of “child” is an Andrew Wood reference as his stage name was Landrew the Love Child. Call Me A Dog, Temple Of The Dog, Ride a pack of dogs. The “dog” imagery is an Andy Wood reference that is used again and again.
