EVERY song has a message ! if they didn't, why write music ?! thats what makes music interesting.. you have yo make your own opinions about it from what you hear, its all in your head. and btw: this WAS the meat puppets, nirvana just made a cover version Do u realy want to know wat it means? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/18/08 IT MEANS ABSULUTLY NOTHING alot of songs mean nothing it proboly means something to the songwriters/singers but nothing to us maby he was talking about a dream or maby a tv show or maby he is just plain phsyco maby he mentally insane unless ur him u really dont know so why dont u all shut up and enjoy the song!!! in MY opinion | Reviewer: cari | 8/4/08 music is a form of art, and anyone who can appreciate art knows that while the artist created it with his own thoughts and reasons behind it, he knows that the consumer will think of it what he will. maybe one of us is right about the original meaning, but then again, maybe we're all right. my first take was that it had to do with politics, but i'm open to all possibilities. i just wish more people were. and even as i was reading all of this, i couldn't help but imagine kurt kurkwood laughing til his sides hurt at all of us b/c maybe it's not supposed to mean anything at all. whatever the meaning (or lack of), it's a fun song to sing and listen to. no one is an idiot for expressing an opinion different from anyone else's, but some of us or clearly intolerant. take care of your own life | Reviewer: julia | 7/12/08 Let's stop with this sheat. Have you ever thought that kurt only decided to sang the song because he liked the rhythim? The things are simpler than you guys make looks. Or maybe he thought it will be interest to make all your fans thing about why the hell he sang it. Let's just enjoy the song and take care of our own lifes, yeah? Nobody heres know why and nobody will never know. Plateau | Reviewer: david | 7/2/08 In my opinion, the "plateau" is the TV set (Dr Phil, BBC for e.g.) that everybody is trying to reach (anchors, journalists, politicians, actors). This song describes the reality of this TV set and all its superficial people who sometimes believe they are what they are not. The author tried to make the audience aware that beyond the flashing decorations and the spotlights, there will be someone like you or me to clean up this already "dead" place. The author reduces the result of a TV set to "an illustrated book of birds" where, I believe, humans are compared to innocent cute birds. The point is to understand the overall meaning of this "action", this plateau is less important than the words you can use.

Keegan is a wanker. And yes i agree that a song is meaningless until you place your own meaning to it. It has an 'intended' meaning which is the one the author gives to it, but everything after that is the listeners interpretation. If you have read the Kurt Cobain Journals, Kurt himself says (paraphrasing here) that a song doesnt have a meaning. What it means to him when he wrote it means something completely different to someone else, and that the beauty of music! Also (and yes i know Kurt didnt write the lyrics) but Kurt would write stupid shit like "jesus came to me in a taco" and im pretty sure that doesnt have any hidden meaning. He was just fucking around. So i guess what im saying is, sometimes songs dont really have any hidden meaning anyway, the listener is just looking too deeply into the song and youll never fucking know wat it means until you ask one of The Brothers, Meat. Peace out and enjoy the music. Follow up: The obvious meaning behind Plateau | Reviewer: Keegan | 1/23/08 Please, will the next person say this was not written by Cobain and everyone's an idiot? Ok, here's the thing, we can all sit around a campfire singing Koombayah, and say it has a different meaning to everyone. But there is truth to life. Black is black. White is white. What is, is. This applies to intangible things as well. If I sat down and wrote something about something then thats exactly what I did. If people want to take it another way which allows them to appreciate it then thats nice too, but it doesnt change the meaning of the song, because I wrote it. There was a meaning when the meatpuppet guy sat down and wrote the song. A talented writer can make something ambiguous and versitile enough to where people can create different meanings as it applies to them. But he had something in mind when he wrote that song. It took alot of thought and word selection not just a joint, the inside of a Totinos box, and a pen. The reason I say that it has an obvious meaning, is because it does to anyone with wisdom and life experience who ananlyzes the lyrics carefully. Its kinda like looking at one of those pictures that you can't see anything unless you cross your eyes just right, then you see something that you never saw before although everyone talked about the dinosaur image, and then you say, oh I see it now. Oh, and jon, how is a guess not going to help you if it could? Corporate America guy, yes but no. This isn't I hate my dad and America music, but it is about leaving what you believe to be bs. That's about as much of my life I'm going to waste on this and being bashed for helping. Good luck! Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4
