New Well...
The stereotypical prima donna is conceited, stuck up, and thinks that she's very important.

Peter Gabriel's song is about someone who is conceited, stuck up, and thinks that he or she (the gender is not obvious in the song) is very important.

Cheers,
Ben

New Re: Well...
That's quite a stretch...not bad! Although I'm not sure I necessarily agree with htat interpertation. I interpreted it as our protagonist has been aspiring to be more than his (or her) roots and background would suggest that s/he would or could be, and that s/he has just arrived at that new plateau, and is looging around and reveling in the new, lofty vantage point.

YMMV

"So don't pay attention to the approval ratings that say 68% of Americans disapprove of the job this man is doing. I ask you this, does that not also logically mean that 68% approve of the job he's not doing? Think about it. I haven't."
— Stephen Colbert, at the White House Correspondent's Dinner 29Apr06

Well, the place was crowded. We were packed in like sardines. They were all there to listen to the Big Band sounds of Tommy Dorsal. What sole! Tommy was rocking the place with a very popular tuna: "Sal-mon Chanted Evening," and the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers; probably there to see the bass player.
