Lyric discussion by MassiveBoogers 

I've read that this is about Cornell feeling "outshined" by his deceased friend, Andrew Wood (singer of Mother Love Bone). Apparently Andrew was, in Cornell's opinion, a superior lyricist, vocalist and performer and this was a song to perhaps vent a little frustration about it but also maybe as a - somehow - humbling acknowledgement.

Eddie Vedder took the place of Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood with Pearl Jam.
