想问英文音乐高手一个关于nirvana的问题

nirvana唱过的一首plateau，歌词如下：
Many a hand has 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 and shake the many hands
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don’t be scared Who needs action when you got words
When you’ve 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 took was fun
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau Some said it was in Greenland and some in Mexico
Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood But they were all just guesses, wouldn’t help you if they could。翻译是没问题，但表达的思想是什么呢？我注意过他们的歌，呵呵，像李商隐的诗灰色与晦涩

那个时代过来的没有不喜欢"Unplugged in N.Y"，没有不能把整张专辑倒背如流的。
好一个丝如泉涌的Kurt Cobain啊，斯人去矣。。当时我读大学3年级，也反复的揣摸过Kurt, Knopfler, The Doors的歌词，沉迷其中。。
楼主如果能看懂原词没问题的话，自己看看这儿吧。http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=378
