A Better Future Lyrics

Lyric discussion by liplex 

Cover art for A Better Future lyrics by David Bowie

"All that's plane, and all the sorrow" It should be "plain", not "plane"....well, either, as long as the "plane" referenced in mind is a metaphorical ideal near that of a 2D mathematical plane...
"All that is flush/flat/unnoteworthy"

@liplex it's plain that it's "all this pain". How you can get it so wrong seems to point to arch irony. You're trying to make a clever concealed point. Why don't you stick with what Bowie was saying rather than some obscure referencing that's unexplained.
