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
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
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
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

Add to it his increasing conflict with his bandmates who wanted equal pay/credit, despite not writing nearly as much material as he was or facing the pressure of being the frontman to field all press as well as maintain the band's image and credibility. Evidently, he was on the brink of disbanding Nirvana in 1993.
I think he was missing feeling the familiar sadness and the comfort zone of the usual loneliness or depression instead of the anger that replaced it.
I think Kurt could probably relate to Farmer in many ways. She felt disenfranchised and cast out from "normal" society because her eccentricities were too much for most to handle, which lead to mental illness in the form of deep depression - much like Kurt. The similarities end here, I think. Frances Farmer died of cancer much later in life than at 27, which was the age Cobain ultimately ended his pain.
I think this song and many others on the album ("In Utero", their third and last studio album which Kurt initially wanted to call "I Hate Myself and Want to Die") dripped of Kurt's confusion and discontent and showcased his sadness through both the music and lyrics. So many things he wrote - and even pictures he took - foreshadowed his suicide that I don't understand how anyone could have been shocked when he pulled the trigger.
In lots of cases, happiness for someone who has been sad for such a long time is too problematic, and makes them sadder than they were before, when they accepted and understood their lives. Feeling their original feelings of sadness again could be almost comforting. Hence, "i miss the comfort in being sad."
amazing album.
I used to be amzingly obssesed with Kurt D. Cobain:) And i still am in a way....but i realize he wouldn't have wanted anyone to be obsessed with him....but this has stayed my all-time favourite lyric......like ever:P
