Lyrics [edit]

The lyrics of "Burden in My Hand" suggest the song is about a human being who murders a adult female he is in a relationship with and leaves her in the desert, not without regret. Some fans believe the lyrics are 'deeper' than the surface and indicative of something such as drug corruption or an abusive human relationship; however, the guitarist Kim Thayil chosen the song "the "Hey Joe" of the '90s."^[1] In a 2011 interview with ARTISTdirect.com, Cornell was asked what the song had come to hateful for him, years afterwards. Cornell responded:

That was a song that really came from the guitar itself. It was mostly like the guitar was dictating what the lyrics should be and creating a mental epitome. The mental image was this sort of destitute guy. I guess he'd lost his cool if you desire to put information technology that way. He'due south sort of coming to grips with what had happened and not necessarily feeling specially emotional about it either way. He'southward trying to effigy out how he would stand up and put one foot in front of the other—or not—and the vocal never really resolves any of that. It's just that moment of somebody sitting in the clay. I had more moments like that afterwards that song was written than I always had earlier it was, and then it means a lot more to me at present than it did then.^[two]
