00:00 / 01:10
In search of the powerful Neptune Orchid, Baba is drawn toward the Valley of Narcissus, where water nymphs sing in hypnotic harmony--escorting him toward a shimmering pool of turquoise water. Baba plays lute and sings to an idealized version of his own reflection — strong, beautiful, irresistible. “Put On Your Vanity” erupts into layered melodies.
The Aquasprites surround Baba in a seductive dance of musical themes, leading him toward the Neptune Orchid. He is about to taste the magical purple orchid when Zinfandella suddenly enters with a new melody and breaks the spell. In the style of a rock-anthem; she warns Baba of Narcissism and Vanity, while captivating the water nymphs with her power and beauty. They present the Orchid to Zin and Baba as they are escorted back to their boat.
Scene Description
Lyrics
Vanity — vanity — vanity — vanity — vanity
Vanity — vanity — vanity — vanity — vanity
I could get used to this,
you know they want me to stay
I could be young forever
Why would I have it any other way
Vanity, vanity — it’s a winding road to insanity
It’s all about you, when everything you do
Goes against humanity... Oh, it’s vanity
Behind every pretty face
Is the truth that lies within
And the truth will always lie
When you run and hide from where you’ve been
So we must return to face
The demons of our fate
Fight the battle in our hearts
To conquer jealousy and hate
