Talking Heads – Seen And Not Seen Lyrics 12 years ago
What wonders me most is that the changes Byrne refers to are changes that are in general not associated with beauty.
Not that the song is about beauty but still...
"A more hooked nose...wider, thinner lips...beady eyes...a larger forehead.".
One can not get more "Frankenstein" than with these features besides a couple of bolts.
That in mind gives a copletely different meaning to the song in my opoinion.
The meaning must be sonmething like this:
A lot of people aim fot things in live that not stand up to ideal of the majority of people. People that have an own opinion and not act like herd animals of do not go with the flow.
