Plateau Lyrics Artist(Band):Nirvana
Some belonged to strangers, some to folks you know Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand To beautify the foothills, and shake the many hands nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds See a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words finished with the mop then you can stop And look at what you've done The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen And the work it was fun nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds See a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs action when you got words Many a hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some say it was Greenland, and some say Mexico Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could If you find some error in Plateau Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Plateau take care of your own life | Reviewer: julia | 7/12/2008 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 | 7/2/2008 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 | 1/23/2008 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! OK heres the facts. | Reviewer: Nirvana43vr | 12/22/2007 THIS SONG WAS NOT WRITTEN BY KURT COBAIN... for the 1000000th time. moot point. its a dead horse lets stop beating it. if your trying to figure out why KURT wrote this song you never will because he didnt. if you want to know why he had such a HARD time singing it its because of what the words meant to HIM. what HE took to heart when HE heard the lyrics and when HE sang the lyrics. YES keegan is DEAD on. he couldnt have hit the nail any harder on the head. however that is what the lyrics mean to kurt cobain when he SANG them not WROTE them because he didnt WRITE it. the fact is that there IS no meaning. meat puppets has their own meaning behind the lyrics and i have mine and everyone has theirs. listen to the music apply YOUR life to those lyrics and THAT is what the lyrics mean. plain and simple. end of story. i swear some of you would make kurt cobain role over in his grave. YOU ARE ALL MORONS | Reviewer: Jon | 12/11/2007 TRUE MEANING GUY IS A F**KING MORON....YOU ARE ALL STUPID IT WAS WRITTEN BY THE MEAT PUPPETS AND FOR THE KID TALKING ABOUT IT BEING A WALK OF LIFE YOUR THE BIGGEST IDIOT OF ALL BECAUSE YOU CANT READ THE LYRICS RIGHT, WHEN HE SAYS THEY WOULDNT HELP YOU IF THEY COULD HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE GUESSES OF WHERE THE NEXT PLATEAU IS, NOT OTHER PEOPLE... The Man | Reviewer: baggs | 12/8/2007 I believe that this song is designed to trivialize the role of the beaureaucrat in a corporate environment. In other words, someone wanted to mock 'the Man'. Before any of you decide it would be fun to verbally assail me for stating the obvious, let me first say that mocking 'the Man' is always the point of Rock!
