The best version of this song is the Woodstock 94 version. He was clean and sober for weeks before hand but couldnt pass up the opportunity to take LSD at Woodstock...and then drink alot. They played a version of their song "Time" and it wasnt very good...Shannon was throwing drums into the croud and freeking out. When they played soup he was mellow and he nailed it...it was such a great moment in music history. All the while wearing thick mascara and a white dress.
I think the "pull the trigger" line pertains to his intraveinous drug use. "Corner Stone" is also a bit of a heroin reference...but have never heard a story of Shannon using heroin.
I think the song is about using drugs as entertainment and then realizing you are healing yourself and killing yourself with the same substance.
Actually the band has said that the song is kind of like three stories in one. "Pull the trigger" and that part of the song is about Kurt Cobain.

The beginning of the song and the line "all over a bowl of bitter beans" is about a friend of Shannon's named Bub who died of cancer. He also references bub in the song "Dumptruck", when he says "And, Bub I know you could fly a mile high."
