Cloudbusting
Kate Bush's Lyrics

I still dream of orgonon
I continue to have visions of Orgonon, the laboratory of psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich who developed the concept of orgone energy.

I wake up crying
I experience intense emotions as soon as I awaken from my dreams.

You're making rain
You have the ability to take control of the weather and create rain.

And you're just in reach
I feel like I can almost touch you, but you remain just out of my grasp.

When you and sleep escape me
When I am unable to fall asleep or stay asleep because you are on my mind.

You're like my yo-yo
You are akin to my yo-yo toy.

That glowed in the dark
Which had a luminous effect in the dark.

What made it special
What made it unique and significant.

Made it dangerous
Also made it risky and potentially harmful.

So I bury it
I have hidden the yo-yo toy away.

And forget
And have attempted to put it out of my thoughts.

But every time it rains
Whenever it starts to rain outside.

You're here in my head
You persist as a presence in my mind.

Like the sun coming out
Like a sudden burst of sunshine breaking through the clouds.

Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
I feel positive and optimistic that a favorable outcome is imminent.

And I don't know when
I am not aware of the specific timing of this occurrence.

But just saying it could even make it happen
Merely speaking this into existence could bring about the desired outcome.

On top of the world
Feeling triumphant and elated.

Looking over the edge
Peering down at the precipice.

You could see them coming
Observing those who intended to harm us from a distance.

You looked too small
You appeared insignificant and harmless in comparison to them.

In their big, black car
Traveling in their large, ominous vehicle.

To be a threat to the men in power
Not considered a formidable enough adversary to those who held positions of authority and control.

I hid my yo-yo
I concealed my yo-yo toy.

In the garden
In a place surrounded by flora and fauna.

I can't hide you
I am unable to protect you from those who would harm you.

From the government
Particularly from those in power who have the ability to enforce their will.

Oh, god, daddy
A plea for aid and protection to a higher power and to a male parental figure.

I won't forget
I vow to remember this experience and its lessons.

Looks the sun coming out
Seems as if brilliant rays of sunlight are emerging.

Your son's coming out
Your offspring is being delivered.
