Chaplin was replaced by Neale Floyd who debuted on "Firing Squad", released in May 1978 and Fred Purser joined on guitar for the single "Life's A Gamble" and the album "Moving Targets", both released in October 1978, the latter on limited edition glow-in-the-dark luminous vinyl.
"Danger Signs" was then released in April 1979, followed by "Come Into the Open", released in August 1979 from the forthcoming album "Coming up for Air", released in September 1979.
Musical differences and the pressure of fame saw the band split up in October 1979. Pauline Murray and Robert Blamire went on to form Pauline Murray and The Invisible Girls and Fred Purser went on to join Tygers of Pan Tang, following his more heavy rock leanings.

On Reflection
Penetration Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know its too late
To re-traces words and promises
Misleading and vague.
I lost control
And staggered helplessly
among the raging tides
Don't say you're sorry now
You know its too late
To re-trace words and promises
Misleading and vague.
Temptation captured my imagination
led me straight to you
Release the chains that haunt my soul
And set me free.
On Reflection
On Reflection.
Now I feel I'm falling
Air is still and warning
Theres no turning back
Never turning back-
On Reflection.
The lyrics of Penetration's "On Reflection" convey a sense of regret and helplessness after a failed relationship. The singer is addressing someone who is too late to apologize for making "misleading and vague" promises, indicating that the damage has already been done. The lines "I lost control / And staggered helplessly / among the raging tides" suggest a lack of agency in the situation, which may have led to feelings of anger or frustration.
The next stanza adds to the theme of being led astray - the singer admits to being "captured" by temptation and led towards this person. However, the last lines of the song suggest a resolve to move on and not look back. This could be seen as a message of self-preservation and letting go of toxic relationships.
Overall, "On Reflection" tells a familiar story of heartbreak and retrospect, interspersed with images of water and being out of control. The lyrics could resonate with anyone who has felt like they were led astray or pinned their hopes on empty promises.
