This song explores the journey of Chris Cornell, between Soundgarden of then and now -- He's been walking around, trying to find his place back "Home", only to discover you can walk a million miles, and still not find it, presumably because home is gone.
After so long, people he once knew no longer knew him, or cared enough to save him from danger -- He's been away from who he called friends long ago, for way too long, and there was nothing he could do because it was fate.
The next bit could be about drug use, with the frist one being a gimme: "Kilos" (of cocaine going) "Through keyholes" (or up the nose), though, widows through windows and pilots through eyelets confounds me. That is hat it sounds like to me, anyway (hence the revisions made to the lyrics), can't get any better than that.
The last bit all talk about various alcohol references;
Tankards, large beer mugs, could also refer to steins
Flagons, extraordinary large containers normally for alcohol
Snifters, wide-footed glasses for spirits and liquors
Flutes, referring to the neck of tall bottles
Once again an expression of how long he's been away from his friends and fans, in favor for the long-ass drug trip Cornell's been on. And all of it was fate, destiny he knows he couldn't prevent, just another step in his journey through his music career, and more importantly through life.
