Once upon a time
I was of the mind
To lay your burden down
Leave you where you stood
You believed I could
You'd seen it done before
I could read your thoughts
And tell you what you saw
And never say a word
But now all that is gone
Over with and done
Never to return
And I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun
Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/audioslave/shadow_on_the_sun.html ]
And I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun
Shapes of every size
Move behind my eyes
Doors inside my head
Bolted from within
Every drop of flame
Lights a candle in
Memory of the one
Who lived inside my skin
I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you I'm
A shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Shadow on the sun
Sun
Sun

Cornell was going through a rough time as aslave started up. Relationship part of it. I think he speaks of a love he contemplates leaving, we've all been there. She's a bright a very bright source of energy, enough to cast a shadow of him even on the sun. He understands why relationship can be undoably hard, and tormenting, stay or go. Even if you leave, she stays buried in you.
