I believe this song is about his relationship with heroin. It is known as the " jealous lover". You have to give most of yourself to the drug as an addict. You can not have your life more than 8 hours without it or the sickness comes. It keeps you from being and doing the things you once thought of as hopes and dreams. As you become a slave to it, you know and feel your doom but feel helpless to fight it. It very much becomes who you are and you accept it. There is another saying that heroin addicts say. Its "live by the needle. Die by the needle." I was a heroin addict for 8 years. This song always touches me because I personally understand the struggles with that addiction. I made it out of that hole. Bless his heart , he didn't and he knew he wasn't. This song always reminds me of what I went through and gives me strength today. It doesn't matter if Cantrell wrote it, You can tell a lot about a person by who they are or hang around with. I believe they all had issues with addictions. I do not believe that there is a golden boy in that band!
@Angeliaxoxo Yes I agree with this version was myself in the hole for 13 years. And the womb is not a women's, but the warm feeling of the drug which surrounds you.
