Top of the City Lyrics

Cover art for Top of the City lyrics by Kate Bush

I'm really, but really disappointed that no one said one thin about this song, my own favorite Kate Bush song.

to me this song is really inspiriting and bittersweet, talking about loneliness and love yet also about many more tiny things about people's personal lives - the fake social life, the desire to run away from anything, to agonize yourself with relationship that isn't satisfying.

I think the City itself is a metaphor for a person, most likely to herself or the person she sings to/about, also there is the feeling…strange feeling, when she’s watching him and the city from above it’s make the singer enigmatic being/character, like she’s the angel or she’s already on the top of city…also I wonder about the possibility of death.

She sounds like a ghost of beloved one who watches over the lover she left behind.
