Nice.. Given the whole heroin thing, as others have commented on with slaves and bulldozers and burden in my hand. This would appear to be about a heroin dealer telling the addict that, A, I have no heroin for you (addict throws his arms out...) or, B, I'm not selling heroin anymore (addict throws his arms out...)

Staring at me like I'm driving the nails.. I'm not making you shoot up.. (nails represent syringes) I sell the drugs, but it's your fault you're addicted.

Would it pain your more to walk on water than to wear a crown of thorns? = From other posts on this site I believe every reference Chris makes to water is about heroin (that's what it looks like in a syringe), so to walk on water, is to rise above the heroin (the addiction) and to use it. Most dealers only sell to support their own habit.

I just wonder if this stuff is written from a 3rd person perspective or from real life experience..

From what I can see, the vast majority of soundgarden songs are about heroin.. I still love it all though..
