jesuisbien, i'm not sure i agree with you. i do think it's a cole reference--how could it not be?--but i think the line "I can't see further than my own nose at this moment" is an idiomatic expression for not thinking about the longterm when making a decision, instead of anything to do with pretension or snobbery. i think in fact this song is the opposite of that; it's about being both giddy and blunt in the face of a new opportunity. it's about throwing yourself into it head first. not looking further into the future than your own nose. i second the questions about the video--maybe there is a critque there--she is definitely a stark contrast to the giddiness the song, and the dancers, suggest.
