About This Track

Code Orange wrote 'Shatter' as the entrance theme for WWE wrestler Bray Wyatt. The track opens with an instrumental passage before settling into verses built on the idea of fragility and consequence: small details matter, a single thought can unsettle, things break and shatter. The pre-chorus locks into a refrain of containment, the singer positioning themselves as a vessel, a coil, a spring, a ghost in the machine where confession goes unreleased and stains live on. The chorus pivots to address, a series of imperatives wrapped in paradox. Die for me, love one another, lie for me, use me for cover. It is the language of loyalty and complicity at once, the song's structure mirroring its themes: repetition that builds pressure, instrumental weight that underscores the emotional toll of the words. By the bridge, the pre-chorus refrain repeats in isolation, stripping back to the core image of containment before the final chorus restates the cycle.

"Shatter" is a track by Code Orange, released 16th December 2022. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Code Orange.

Lyrics

Shatter

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

You can throw it all away

When things break, things shatter

Keep it written on your face

The little details matter

[Pre-Chorus]

Only in me

(I am the coil, I am the spring)

Only in me

(I am the ghost in the machine)

Only in me

(Recount confession, give no release)

Only in me

(Only in me will your stain ever live to be)

[Chorus]

Die for me brother

(Know not what you've seen)

Love one another

(Know not where you've been)

Lie for me brother

(Know not what you'vе said)

Use me for cover

(Whеn things break, things shatter)

[Verse 2]

Just a sliver of a thought can make

Even a thick head clatter

Disappear without a trace

While the whole worlds laughing

[Pre-Chorus]

But it's only in me

(I am the coil, I am the spring)

Only in me

(I am the ghost in the machine)

Only in me

(Recount confession, give no release)

Only in me

(Only in me will your stain ever live to be)

[Chorus]

Die for me brother

(Know not what you've seen)

Love one another

(Know not where you've been)

Lie for me brother

(Know not what you've said)

Use me for cover

(When things break, things shatter)

[Bridge]

Only in me

Only in me

Only in me

Only in me

[Chorus]

Die for me brother

(Know not what you've seen)

Love one another

(Know not where you've been)

Lie for me brother

(Know not what you've said)

Use me for cover

(When things break, things shatter)
