I agree with the very first post. Suicide or leaving someone you love, which can be like suicide (no pun intended) of your soul. I don't care to dissect all the lines, but some of my favorite lines are:
"Lost my grip, fell too far to start again"
I know exactly how this feels. Basically saying that life has taken it's toll and knocked you down and you don't want to get back up anymore.
"A sudden snake, found my shape and tells the world
Remember this, remember everything is just black or burning sun"
I feel like this line is saying, when the shit went down, it exposed who I really am, which is someone who doesn't want to live.
This song defines just how versatile and brilliant Soundgarden was. This is certainly one of the hidden gems, not just from Down on the Upside but all SG tunes.
