Lyrics Inspiration: “Shatter Me” by Lindsey Stirling ft. Lzzy Hale

I pirouette in the dark

I see the stars through a mirror.

Tired mechanical heart

Beats 'til the song disappears.

Somebody shine a light

I'm frozen by the fear in me.

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

So cut me from the line

Dizzy, spinning endlessly

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me.

Shatter me

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

If only the clockwork could speak

I wouldn't be so alone

We burn every magnet and spring

And spiral into the unknown.

Somebody shine a light

I'm frozen by the fear in me.

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

So cut me from the line

Dizzy, spinning endlessly

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

Shatter me

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly

There's no one to catch me if I take a dive

I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same

The world is spinning, but only in gray.

If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly

There's no one to catch me if I take a dive

I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same

The world is spinning, but only in gray

Somebody shine a light

I'm frozen by the fear in me

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

So cut me from the line

Dizzy, spinning endlessly

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

Shatter me

Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

This song applies on multiple levels to different characters in The Lady of Worlds. I listened to it quite frequently during certain scenes so if I ever make a playlist for my book this song will definitely be in the first half.
