| It's painfully obvious this is about the ancient folklore creature Will-o'-the-wisp. | |
| Kate Bush – Hello Earth Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I think this song is at the moment the heroine is rescued, but she's too exhausted and "out of it" to recognise what is happening. As she is floating the water, completely delirious, she imagines she is an astronaut watching earth and has flashbacks to seeing a light in the sky in her "ordinary life -" this is in fact the helicopter that will rescue her. As she watches the storm brew she urges those on the boat to leave, but it has already happened. The motif "get out of the waves! Get out of the water" comes in here and I think this is the sign she is being rescued - it is shouted in Waking the Witch from the helicopter. She vaguely hears this coming closer but does not realise what it is. However before she can be rescued entirely she passes out. The German lines are a reference to a poem, I believe, but I do not have it to hand. |
