what people dont get is that, kurt cobains lyrics are the last thing to fully come together. This song was written long before it was recorded. He played it a couple times and then when recording at home time came around he was piecing words together. then studio day came around he probably was in a lousy ass mood (considering the timeline) and focused his lyrics on something about a fight or a popular mood he was in constantly...sarcasm. He recorded his parts, probably laid them down once or twice at most. and that was that. so the "i have never failed to fail" probably is just an inacurate lyric that just fit. It sounds like hes trying to say " i have never felt or felt pain" but had to slip that extra line in to make it fit. Any musician who writes lyrics or riffs knows about stuff like that. in fact it can really drive you crazy, cuz nobody prounounces words like "a-gain", or "cal-i-for-nye-a".they do that to make it fit into a song. Do you understand what im getting at? Anyway this song rocked. and i wanted to put that out there to those who are trying to decipher that line and its meaning. thats one of a couple possibilites. please dont argue with me thank you.
@Cleanruss that might be true. In the "live tonight sold out" home video, Cobain says in an interview "Music comes first", talking about the process of writing. This is very different in artists like, for example, Trent Reznor, who has said sometimes "Lyrics comes first" :)
