Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle
Nirvana Lyrics
It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving
As soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To hear that you're asking
Whenever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me
Starting to sound the same
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
In her false witness
Hope you're still with us
To see if they float or drown
Our favorite patient
A display of patience
Disease-covered Puget sound
She'll come back as fire
To burn all the liars
Leave a blanket of ash on the ground
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
It's so relieving
To know that you're leaving
As soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing
To know that you're asking
Whenever you get your way
It's so soothing
To know that you'll sue me
It's starting to sound the same
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad

Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle was inspired by Shadowland, a 1978 biography of actress Frances Farmer, whom Cobain had been fascinated with ever since he read the book in high school.
Frances Farmer was an American actress from Seattle. Despite what many believe, this song has very little (arguably, nothing) to do with her so-called controversial essay "God Dies".

Farmer was involuntarily institutionalised by her family a number of times for causing trouble and legal problems with Paramount Pictures, and what those close to her believed to be psychological problems.
Few of her friends and family helped her, and most actively sought to hurt her. Given Cobain's personal experience of being abandoned as a kid, it's definitely not a surprise he could relate to this.

It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing to hear you're asking wherever you get your way
It's so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
In her false withness, we hope you're still with us,
To see if they float or drown
Our favorite patient,
A display of patience, disease-covered Puget Sound
She'll come back as fire, to burn all the liars,
And leave a blanket of ash on the ground
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
It's so relieving to know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
It's so relaxing to know you're asking wherever you get your way
It's so soothing to know that you'll sue me, this is starting to sound the same
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad
I miss the comfort in being sad

@Sasha Benner Use just once and destroy: well, i guess you know where is written...
invasion of our piracy: THAT'S WHAT IT WAS, THE UNDERGROUND TRIED TO TAKE OVER, from grunge, to black metal, to rave parties, everything was attempted to spread the undergound philosophies back then, to mantain us free from corporate oppression...piracy at the time were hometaping music, i don't rememeber if in the early 90's you could already copy cds... years after Kurts departure, from Napster on, piracy began to become a real threat to business.
Afterbirth of a nation, starve without your skeleton key. US are still in their afterbirth, all in all, and so many european countries as we know 'em, not even to talk about nations that became independent from their colonizers after the WWII, all of these relatively new countries, like we are seeing these days, if they lose their key that can open all doors (skeleton key is also called with a french term in my native language - which isn't nor English neither French- passe par tout = go everywhere, pass for every passage), money, proper business, international agreements, they / we are bound to starve. I LOVE YOU FOR WHAT I AM NOT could be about Courtney (i.e.: i wish i were more cynical but also more enthusiasitic like you) but also about s1 else, not necessarilly a lover, maybe he is pointing at Life Herself: he should have loved a non-rockstarish existence, or at least a less rumoured one. I love life for what my life is not.
i do not want what i have got: take it literrally. Said it over and over again, in interviews, in his diaries, etc. ., linked to the previous verse.
A blanket acned with cigarette burns: take it literrally, he and Courtney repeatedly burned blankets falling half asleep, napping while high, with cigs in their hands. Frances Cobain also complained that her mother risked burning their house like thrice.
here i stop, as i feel like stopping, and i feel that not all verses could be correctly eplained by me, in this moment.
I embrace you, sis. If you tell me it's ok, i'll check your FB page and ask for your friendship...

It means if you dont feel sad you dont feel normal, because thats what you are used to, and depression is so addictive you cant escape it like a drug addiction.

I had absolutely nfi what any of those words were 25 yrs ago till just now. Cheers ©️unts🤘

Well said, only that when it comes to rock stars like cobain all this is greatly augmented by his sudden rise to fame which combined with drug use resulted in severe depression. The bottom line is that when sb is prone to depression and other mood disorders they should not bring drugs into the equation as it can prove to be lethal.

@jkc 18 i agree

"I miss the comfort in being sad" may be one of the most emotionally devastating lines in any song ever. No exaggeration.
