I think the comments regarding lost love brought on by him driving her away are right on. The song is about regret. I also, however, always had a picture in my head of this song taking place in a jail cell, as would fit with the trilogy, and the footsteps being the gaurds coming to take him to the execution. Also, the scratches all over the arms has the double meaning of both heroin use because she left, and counting the days that he has been in prison...
Love this song, the words and the emotion conveyed are unreal.
McCready did write the riff for this, as this same riff is on "Temple of the Dog" , the song "Times of Trouble", which has different lyrics, written by Cornell...
Actually the song is part of the trilogy. but the reason he went insane isn't a cause a lost love. It's because he grew up to be a replication of his biological father, making his mother in love with him and sexually abuse him. Sorry, but there's no sugar in this pot of tea.
