While there may be many shades of meaning in Kate Bush's words, there is one fairly direct meaning that it took me many years to realise.
Kate is referring to a very intimate place indeed, under the tangle and the 'leaves', in fact her favorite place. Somewhere she likes to go when she is alone, yet easy to find when you know where it is. It is certainly "not easy" to talk about, "not safe". And yet she is waiting to be discovered there. Do I have to spell it out?
