Another one of my favourite Kate Bush songs and a great video too which has Hugh Laurie and Dawn French in.
Clearly this is about the powers that be (See Army Dreamers and Breathing) doing bad things again. This time they have taken something beautiful and creative like music which is meant for pleasure - and turned it into a weapon that can kill.
However - having something so extreme - which could make you feel like falling in love etc - will end up killing you. So like be warying of helping the government and anyone who wants to distort the good things in life because it will end up costing your own life. The experiment goes wrong but the guys at the top will get away without being harmed.
I guess music can be a metaphor for people generally. A child is usually innocent but bad parenting or/and government propaganda can turn that child into a criminal or a soldier propping corrupt regimes. They can do violence onto others. Basically you reap what you sow.
