Soundgarden 17."Burden in My Hand" @ The Forum Inglewood, CA. 7-22-2011

The lyrics of 'Burden in My Hand' suggest the song is about a man who murders a woman 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 abuse or an abusive relationship; however, guitarist Kim Thayil called the song "the "Hey Joe" of the '90s."
Written by frontman Chris Cornell, "Burden in My Hand" was released on September 18, 1996 as the second single from the band's fifth studio album, Down on the Upside (1996).

I saw Soundgarden 2 nites prior to this in South Lake Tahoe, (and it was Chris Cornell's birthday, so the band had us all sing Happy Birthday to Chris, how ridiculously AWESOME, right?), and it was better than I'd hoped for, especially when they played THIS SONG, my all time favorite Soundgarden song. One of the best concerts ever.

You are looking way to into it. This song is about human empathy, being able to understand when someone is in a dark place.
