I thought of Delius too. I love how this song fills my mind with colours, especially at the end where it has a carnival feel. |

| Kate Bush – Where Are the Lionhearts? Lyrics
| 14 years ago
|
The first time I listened to this song I cried buckets even though I could only make out half of the lyrics! Looking at the lyrics, I feel that a Lionheart is someone who is brave in their own way. They don't have to be as outstanding brave as Joan of Arc but they can be coping with grief, a mental illness or simply in the narrator's situation a realisation that she mustn't fall for a certain type of men. That's what I get from it anyway.
The fact that Lionhearts are 'sown on the rocks' where the adders are makes sense but it makes me feel so incredibly sad because in a literal case it is a death sentence like Joan of Arc. But the narrator shows some bravery at the beginning as she 'climbs up the ladder' in order to fall whereas at the end she is 'tied up and put away on the rocks' as if bravery is a journey. Also, perhaps the reason she 'couldn't see' the person who did this is because it is herself, showing that we are all Lionhearts inside. |
