The Ninth Wave ocean could be the mind as it struggles; and the Tennyson saviour could be the 'heaven inside'/'we perform the miracles' (Room For The Life) ... The protagonist has been thrown into a mental whirlpool, and now struggles to cope... 'But no one ever dies for long...' And the Ninth Wave is about that period before mental rebirth, before one can face the world again. In the 9th Wave, The (GOoMH) House (mind) has become an ocean; the 'Let me in' has changed into the Witchfinder... With Hello Earth, the old self drowns and a new tougher skin is born (the saviour from Tennyson's Ninth Wave). Maybe KB was trying to 'drown' her old public self (like Bowie did Ziggy?), ready for a fresh creative period.
With Aerial, KB is back in the sea, diving deeper and deeper... There is no sign of Jaws in this Atlantic... She has become panoramic... Up there with eagle clarity... away from 'Civilization and its Discontents'... becoming One with Nature... (but maybe wanting to swap places with a blackbird!)
