Chris Cornell defined this song as being open to interpretation as 
there is no overall theme throughout the song, “a picture painted with 
words”, he said,.
To me, it speaks of the dark shadow that dwells
 inside of all of us. The many masks we use from day to day, hiding some
 parts of who we really are, those parts we wouldn't ever want others to
 know,.
To me, it appears the songs shares the perspicacity of 
what this dark shadow is (in all of us) and the disgust of facing that 
part of yourself,.
The understanding of how uncomfortable it is, 
being exposed to others under such light. Or even worst, having that 
which you dislike of yourself, in the mirror, staring back at you,.
The protagonist asks for a reset. To the way things were, when one was 
pure, untarnished by what humanity is and makes you become.
At least that's my take on it,.
