Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Seth Wanna Be	#1 by Seth Johnson at Apr 12, 1978 at 12:13 AM EST
	It's about vanity. and it's actually missing two important lines --- ambition for illusion --- dreams for self-delusion They go right after "Boys and Girls together/Mistake conceit for pride" Basically, when people look at themselves, they don't see the truth. They see themselves as they want to be, not as they truely are. Putting on makeup or certain clothes to create a fantasy of their true selves.
