Breakthrough Lyrics

If you sit with fear, a star too far,
Almost lost in this storm of Life
A blazing ghost can become the host,
And you breakthrough to the room of dreams

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A spiritual ascension to a higher plane, an escape from this world and a breakthrough into another.

Musically, "Breakthrough" a sort of ancestor to "I Like You". The lyrics only appear towards the end, brief and spoken. Very nice, very simple.

Appeared first as the B-side to "Just Drifting", then as part of the suite "Magick Defends Itself" (b/w "Papal Breakdance"), therein followed by a jarring sound collage and an alternate take of "Twisted". Live, it often served as the prelude to the even more jarring "In the Nursery", another song about entering another world, but far more sinister. Appropriately, this medley would often segue into "Oi Skinhead!", the obscure twin song to "Twisted"...
