Watching You Without Me Lyrics

Cover art for Watching You Without Me lyrics by Kate Bush

"Watching You Without Me" - She anticipates she is going to drown… She is rocking between life and ‘the other side’… The song is ‘divided’ into (at least) two parts: her-as-a-ghost and her-in-the-water (and her-frightened-of-being-as-a-ghost? her hope/help/SOS?)… ‘There's a ghost in our home…’ - She can already see her ghost in her home… Like the ghost-form is already there, waiting for her to inhabit…To go home to…

The song reminds me of Odysseus in the Underworld - Our heroine imagines herself on the other side and unable to communicate to her loved one…
