Get Out of My House Lyrics

Cover art for Get Out of My House lyrics by Kate Bush

Yet another one of my favourite songs. I believe her body and her life is being compared to a house. A man has overstepped the mark, and aggressively is trying to muscle in onto her life. Possibly, but not necessarily, rape. This man is basically trying to control and dominate her. Not just sexually - but in ever way - emotionally and mentally as well. He wants to bring order to her house and rearrange it the way he wants.

However this woman is not submissive and completely rejects his very blunt and unwanted advances. She aggressively fights back to protect her independence and way of life. She shuts down her heart and emotions to him to make it clear she is not interested. All communications is barred to him. The more he tries - the more stubborn she gets. He tries to tempt her with dreams and kisses but they come with a price as they are devil dreams and cold kisses. At the end she prevails and she keeps her freedom to be who she wants and choose who she wants to let into her life.

A great and completely bonkers song:)
