Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Koda's song Shattered describe the aftermath of a breakup and the painful emotions that come with it. The opening lines set the scene of looking out through a black window, unable to express oneself in words. The conversation between the two people involved is filled with silences and hidden meanings that are hard to decipher. The singer likens the person who hurt them to a sleep mask that causes sweet dreams and nightmares alike. They feel they have lost control and are heading for a crash.


The second verse describes the singer's regret and guilt over not being able to respond to the other person's love. Memories of the relationship haunt them and make it hard to move on. They blame themselves for what happened and can't help but feel like they are always losing. The chorus emphasizes the idea that everything that once mattered has now been shattered. The matter of the relationship, which seemed so important, has disintegrated into nothing. The repetition of the phrase "made up my mind" suggests a resolution to the pain, but it is not clear whether this means moving on or holding onto the hurt.

No. I'm also a vocalist and some syllables are "unpronounceable" when you're in very high ranges.
The e, v, and n are very common ones. (I'm in Loff for now, instead of I'm in Love for now) (doun you gettu fine-nin-ouuuuu instead of Don't you get to finding out)

If you listen to Ariana Grande you can notice that she does not enunciate on some of her earlier track.

Live performances of Take On Me by A Ha are good as well. Singer will say "I'll be GOFF" instead of "I'll be GONE" because moving the muscles in the mouth will break resonance.


I've been learning to sing Muse and thata how Matthew Bellamy can have such a massive range.


Tldr.
It's just hard to enunciate words at extreme range. This song has lyrics.

Lyrics:

I’m in love, for now
I’m in love, for now
I’m in love, for now...

I’m in love
I’m in love for now
I’m in love
I’m in love for now

Don’t you get too far now
Don’t you get too far now
Don’t you get too far now
Don’t you get too far now
And on the edge of it
Is all against the end
And all… will stop

As long as you can find out
As long as we can find out
As long as you can find out
Long as we can find out

I’m in love for now
I’m in love for now
I’m in love for now…

I’m in love
I’m in love for now
I’m in love
I’m in love for now...

I’m in love
I’m in love for now
I’m in love
I’m in love for now

I’m in love
I’m in love for now
I’m in love
I’m in love for now…

I’m in love
I’m in love for now
I’m in love
I’m in love for now

Don’t you get too far now
Don’t you get too far now
Don’t you get too far now
Don’t you get too far now
And on the edge of it
Is all against the end
And all… will stop

The fact that I found this when I was like 12 and I came back to it after 6 years... it just hits so different.

For anyone interested the first 30 seconds of ambient melody that this track  is builds on is sampled from Aphex Twin - Lichen, one of my personal favorites, like this version too

Luciano Tavares

Seven years ago, my heart was broken. When I heard this beautiful sound in my ear, I knew that great times were coming, and here I am. Alive. Happy to still hear smiling, and not crying.

You have to feel pain to understand how much happiness is worth. Makes the good days better then ever before. Heartbreak was one of the most valuable things to happen to me. At the time it didn't seem like it but now life has a different meaning and life feels more meaningful ✨

Yakup Elibol

It's been exactly seven years. It's been seven years since we heard this song.

Frank Bennett

Koda sure can get you through some tough times.

To those that didn't already know. The beginning of Shattered that keeps on looping throughout the song is a sample of Aphex Twin's - Lichen.

JJ Hoffman

This song makes me want to feel the earth beneath my bare feet, close my eyes and feel separated from the the cares and worries of today if even for only a moment
