Letra de
Plateau

A música Plateau é uma faixa gravada pela banda de punk rock Meat Puppets. Foi escrita por Curt Kirkwood e é conhecida por sua versão acústica apresentada no álbum MTV Unplugged in New York da banda Nirvana, onde os irmãos Curt e Cris Kirkwood se juntaram a Kurt Cobain no palco. A letra pode ser interpretada como uma reflexão sobre a busca por significado e conquista em um mundo amplo e frequentemente confuso.

Many a hand have scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills, shake the many hands

Nothing on 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
Plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen and the work, it was fun

Nothing on 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 hand began to scan around for the next plateau
Some say it was Greenland some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood
Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
