Understanding "Like A Stone"

On a cobweb afternoon, in a room full of emptiness...Audioslave's hard rock ballad does an excellent job painting a bleak, depressing picture with its words, but as is so often the case, it's the music itself that's really doing the heavy lifting. It uses tricks like ambiguous chords, layered ostinatos, and buried resolutions in order to tell its story, plus Tom Morello's involved so you know it's got a really cool solo.
