Paroles de Hello Earth

Kate Bush
"Columbia now nine times the speed of sound."
"Roger that, Dan, I've got a solid TACAN locked on, uh, TACAN twenty-three." (2)
"The, uh, tracking data, map data and pre-planned trajectory are all one line on the block"
"Roger (?) your (?) block (?) decoded (? recorded?)"
Hello, Earth.
Hello, Earth.
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out,
Out of sight.
Peek-a-boo,
Peek-a-boo, little Earth.
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving,
Driving home,
And you asleep
On the seat.
I get out of my car,
Step into the night
And look up at the sky.
And there's something bright,
Travelling fast.
Look at it go!
Look at it go!
(Chœur)
Watching storms
Start to form
Over America.
Can't do anything.
Just watch them swing
With the wind
Out to sea.
All you sailors,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All life-savers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you cruisers,
("Get out of the waves! Get out of the water!")
All you fishermen,
Head for home.
Go to sleep, little Earth.
I was there at the birth,
Out of the cloudburst,
The head of the tempest.
Murderer!
Murder of calm.
Why did I go?
Why did I go?
(Chœur)
Irgendwo in der Tiefe
Gibt es ein licht."
Go to sleep little Earth.
“The song after that is Hello Earth, and this is the point where she's so weak that she relives the experience of the storm that took her in the water, almost from a view looking down on the earth up in the heavens, watching the storm start to form - the storm that eventually took her and that has put her in this situation…”
A moving song, full of sad and beautiful imagery… the moon, the heavens, Oneness, ecological interdependence, the cruel sea, the human mind, a baby, safety, compassion, etc…
The protagonist is alone on the vast ocean surface, gazing at the night sky, and ‘so aware of her situation.’ It’s just her and Nature… “Hello, Earth!… Hello, Earth!”(Each of the opening calls is echoed by a voice seemingly lost in space.)
The song is about how small we are as individuals, how vast and unpredictable nature is, about trust and how everything is connected and interdependent…
A baby can (playfully) block care-giving Earth out of sight with just one hand (Earth being its mother)… and then make care-taking Earth reappear… Learning to trust and control his/her environment…To the mother, her baby is her little Earth…The moon is like a little Earth reflecting our insignificance…We are all at the mercy of nature and must care more…We all stare at the night, tracking vastness and insignificance… and maybe a satellite watching storms start to form.
Our heroine is now emotionally, physically and mentally exhausted…Tired and as helpless as a baby, she cries “Why did I go?” before telling herself to “Go to sleep, little earth.”
