Cornell has struggled at different times in his life with social phobia, this song, more than any other from Soundgarden, seems to tell a story on that part of his life. He's tried everything he can think of, but he feels hopeless and unable to beat his condition. He'd just as soon blow up the outside world. He knows it's wrong, but he's exhausted and just doesn't care about living among society anymore.

Good insight. Better read on it than most.
The song's hero also has a lot in common with the lonely man imprisoned by depression and fear in Chris's "Four Walled World".
