Breakthrough
Marsheaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Up with the moon away
Words flying all the way
Bright stars, bright eyes love again
I wanna breakthrough all the milky way
I wanna breakthrough
I wanna catch your eyes
I wanna take you high
Bright stars, bright eyes love again
I wanna breakthrough all the milky way
I wanna breakthrough
Who's gonna raise you up tonight?
Who's gonna take you high tonight?
Who's gonna make you feel alright?
I'm gonna
I'm gonna
The song Breakthrough by Marsheaux seems to be all about reaching for the stars and overcoming obstacles to be with someone special. The lyrics suggest a yearning to escape the mundane and ordinary aspects of life and experience something extraordinary. The references to the moon, bright stars, and Milky Way allude to the celestial realm and the desire to go beyond earthly limits. The lines "Words flying all the way" and "I wanna catch your eyes" suggest the intensity of a connection with someone, where words and eye contact alone can convey deep emotions.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful as it repeats the phrase "I wanna breakthrough all the Milky Way." This repetition emphasizes the importance of overcoming any barriers in order to pursue love and reach new heights. The last verse emphasizes the singer's determination to be the one to raise their partner up and make them feel alright, suggesting a deep and abiding commitment to that person.

Oui, ça fait très "Ladytron", effectivement. J'aime ces deux groupes.
Jean-Charles Crépeau
Tout à fait d'accord! Ça ressemble beaucoup à du Ladytron, mais pas mal plus soft. Bref un mix de Ladytron avec Depeche Mode et Chromatics.
