Just because Chris Cornell wouldn't define himself as a Catholic or a Christian doesn't mean he can't sing a song with strong Christ-related references in it to question why he is on earth and why God created him. I know next to nothing about him or the bands he's been in, but I do know that seeking purpose in life is pretty much universal and if you've been immersed in a religious setting as a child that stuff stays with you in some way, even if you rebel.
"Show me how to live" is a great thing to say to God, actually.
@jenbebe Chris used a lot of christian imagery in his lyrics. Solo, in Soundgarden, with audio slave and even with temple of the dog. The man was curious about the spiritual realm at least. He may not have been christian but he was very spiritual. Listen to some of interviews in his later life. If there was one word I would use to describe Chris ....it would be shaman. All that being said, I agree with you. I just ramble a lot.

@jenbebe The song is about Frankenstein's monster. Nail in my head. Not hand.
