Chris Cornell led a pretty bad life in his early days. Music was his way to escape and if you look at his songs with Soundgarden the lyrics can be pretty depressing. So this song is kind of about him growing up and appreciating life.
Ed Vedder100 got it right i think w/ the "You'll stay the same." His old self will be the same, his negative and depressed self. However, in his new life w/ marriage and kids, he is like a worm that has added on rungs to his body. It's really a fantastic metaphor when you think about it. In life you grow up and gather information one ring at a time.
Growing up,enjoying life, and overall happiness is a motif on this album.
