I never got the impression that the song has anything to do with slavery or imprisonment.

This song is still amazing but every time it finishes, I am left wondering what the fuck they were thinking with the last few seconds. So odd...

Me too, and it's important, because it's the kind of thing they used to do. At their best, they were a delightful mix of both tight (ability to play together as one) and loose (relaxed, having fun).

absolutely, they have several earlier-career songs that kind of descend into a loose "mess" at the end, instead of finishing neatly; this, as well as the ending of "River Cross", are very Pearl Jam to me

The ending of Blood demonstrates this really well.

Other places I can think of are the beginning of Last Exit and the end of Who Ever Said.
