yeah that bird thing seems spot on, wouldn't have guessed that on my own though - the song goes a bit deeper than that. He compares lots of things (successfully) to suicide: the bird killing itself, the harshness of love, the "ounce of pain" -depression that leads to a "ton of rage" -suicide; and the difference between the way the bird had lived - in control, like murder, and the way the bird had died - like suicide.
Thank god this song wasn't inspired by yet another "girl". Beautiful lyrics. Chris Cornell and Billy Corgan are the best songwriters of our era. Who disagrees?

Aside from Corgan being a complete tosser with no like-able aspects..yeah, I agree.
