A former member of the rock band Stomp on Melvin, Stirling began releasing videos on Youtube in 2007 and in 2010 competed on "America's Got Talent". Her appearance on "America's Got Talent" gained the attention of cinematographer Devin Graham, with whom she has collaborated on several videos since 2010. Her YouTube channel has become extremely popular and has received upwards of 100 million views.

Stirling was born in Santa Ana, California, but spent a portion of her childhood in Gilbert, Arizona and graduated from Mesquite High School. She moved to Provo, Utah to attend Brigham Young University to study recreational therapy. She went on to perform missionary work in New York City for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Stirling returned home to Provo in 2009 to continue studying at BYU. She resided there until December 2012, when she moved back to Arizona with her family. Currently she lives in Los Angeles, California.

At the age of five, after being influenced by the classical music records played by her father, Stirling began to study the violin. She took private lessons for twelve years. When she was sixteen, she joined a rock band in Mesquite High School with four friends called "Stomp on Melvin". As part of her experience with Stomp on Melvin, Stirling wrote a solo violin rock song, and her performance helped her to win the state title of Arizona's Junior Miss and claim the Spirit Award in the America's Junior Miss Finals competition. Stirling was also a member of Charley Jenkins Band for about a year.

Stirling has released one EP, "Lindsey Stomp" in 2010, along with several singles, including collaborations with Peter Hollens, Eppic and Megan Nicole. Her debut full-length self-titled album "Lindsey Stirling" was released 18th September 2012. In December 2012, YouTube announced that Stirling's song, "Crystallize", was the No. 8 top-viewed video of 2012 with over 42 million views.

On March 12, 2014, Stirling posted a video announcing her second studio album, Shatter Me, would be released in May. She also created a PledgeMusic account where consumers could buy her new album, signed or not, and also exclusive items, such as signed posters, personalized video and even Skype calls with Stirling herself. At the end of the first day, the signed Shatter Me CD was already sold out. On March 25, 2014, Stirling officially released her first single from Shatter Me, entitled "Beyond the Veil", along with its accompanying music video. Their second album Shatter Me was released on April 29, 2014. It is Stirling's first album to include collaborations with other vocalists, featuring Lzzy Hale (from Halestorm) and Dia Frampton, and Stirling has said its musical style is more progressive than her first album. During its pre-sale, the album peaked at number one on the US iTunes electronic charts. On its released in USA the album reached the second position on Billboard 200, making Stirling's biggest sales week of her career. The album peaked on four different Billboard music charts.

Shatter Me
Lindsey Stirling Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pirouette in the dark
I see the stars through me
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 clockworks 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
(Only)

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!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lindsey Stirling feat. Lzzy Hale's song "Shatter Me" tell the story of someone who feels trapped and stuck in their life. They feel like a machine that is going through the motions, and they are desperate to break free and feel alive. The imagery of pirouetting in the dark and seeing stars through themselves suggests a sense of emptiness and being disconnected from the world.

The repeated plea throughout the song is for somebody to shatter them, to break them out of their frozen state and make them feel alive again. The line "If only the clockworks could speak, I wouldn't be so alone" implies that the singer feels like they are a machine in need of repair, and that they crave human connection and emotion. The references to breaking glass and taking a dive suggest that the singer is afraid of change and the unknown, but they also understand that breaking out of their current situation may be the only way to truly live.

Overall, "Shatter Me" is a powerful metaphor for the human desire to break free from the constraints of society, routine, and fear, and to fly away into a more fulfilling existence.

Line by Line Meaning

I pirouette in the dark
I am dancing in the darkness

I see the stars through me
I am so focused that I am one with the universe

Tired mechanical heart
I am exhausted emotionally

Beats til the song disappears
I keep going until the music fades

Somebody shine a light
I need someone to guide me

I'm frozen by the fear in me
I am paralyzed by my own anxiety

Somebody make me feel alive
I crave a connection that will invigorate me

And shatter me
Break down my barriers and make me vulnerable

So cut me from the line
Release me from my routine

Dizzy, spinning endlessly
I am disoriented and lost

If only the clockworks could speak
I wish I had someone or something to confide in

I wouldn't be so alone
I feel isolated and lonely

We burn every magnet and spring
We destroy everything that keeps us bound

And spiral into the unknown
We embrace uncertainty and venture into the unfamiliar

If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly
I must take risks and be willing to face the consequences

There's no one to catch me if I take a dive
I am alone in this journey and must rely on myself

I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same
I am afraid of growth and remain stagnant

The world is spinning but only in gray
The world is moving but lacks color and vibrancy

Only
This is the only way to break free

Lyrics:
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

As a male, this song hits close to my heart. It’s a powerful and emotional collaboration between Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale, two amazing artists who have overcome their own struggles and fears. The song is about breaking free from the constraints that hold us back, whether they are internal or external, and finding our true selves.

The music video is stunning and captivating. It shows Lindsey as a ballerina trapped inside a snow globe, representing her feelings of isolation and helplessness. She dances with grace and passion, but she can’t escape her prison. Lzzy is the voice of her inner strength, urging her to shatter the glass that separates her from the world. She sings with a raw and powerful voice that contrasts with Lindsey’s delicate violin.

The song has a beautiful melody that builds up to an explosive chorus. The violin and the guitar blend together perfectly, creating a dynamic and energetic sound that matches the lyrics. The song also has some dubstep elements that add to the intensity and drama of the story.

The song is more than just a catchy tune. It’s a message of hope and courage for anyone who feels trapped or broken by their circumstances. It’s an anthem for those who want to shatter their limits and live their dreams. It’s an inspiration for those who want to feel alive.

I love this song so much that I can’t stop listening to it. It makes me feel empowered and motivated to overcome my own fears and challenges. It makes me appreciate the talent and resilience of Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale, who have both faced adversity in their lives but never gave up on their passion for music.

This song deserves more recognition and praise for its artistic quality and emotional impact. It’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life. #ShatterMe #LindseyStirling #LzzyHale #BestSongEver #MusicIsLife

I started playing the violin a year ago. I had been wanting to start playing ever since I first heard this song. The violin wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, and I struggled with many things (such as getting my bow straight, intonation, timing, and many other things), but I didn’t want to quit. I kept listening to Lindsey Stirling’s songs to give me motivation, so that I wouldn’t even think about stopping. The only way people can achieve great things is if they work for it.

Currently, I am in the Honors Orchestra at my school. That is the highest orchestra you can be in- and just as I thought when I first started- it wasn’t going to be easy.

Just two months ago, I was really having a hard time with orchestra. My grade was lowering, and I didn’t even feel like playing. The transition between beginner orchestra and Honors orchestra was a HUGE ONE. I felt like I was lower than the rest of my classmates because they had more playing experience than I did.

...then I found this song again. After listening to this, I felt that spark of motivation I had when I started. I knew I had to push myself and go past my limits to be like everyone else.

I know that this sounds like a pretty fake story, but it’s 100% real. In a month, my orchestra is going to head to a few other schools to play.

Either way, I really enjoy this song and it left a huge impact on my heart. Thank you, Lindsey!

❤️

Lindsey Stirling was six years old when she began begging for violin lessons. She began getting 15 minute lessons, which no one thought she could learn from, but she mastered it. It was all their family could afford. Much longer later, she joined a rock band and began experimenting with different types of music, and began earning money for collage by performing. Later, she performed in America's Got Talent, but didn't do very well. But she wouldn't give up. Then, Lindsey was introduced to Devin Graham, who kick-stared her career. Lindsey quoted, ''He changed my life. He taught me everything I needed to know about Youtube.'' It was a while later when Lindsey realized that she was suffering from anorexia, an eating disorder, sometimes very deadly. She noticed that something was wrong with her, and she was becoming very depressed. Finally, she found help and recovered from it. This video is about her suffering of anorexia, and how she had to turn back from her life of being a perfect ballerina. It was hard and scary, but she finally broke through the glass by doing what she loved to do: Playing violin. And on the other side of that glass that she had suffocated her self in for too long, she found what she had been looking for. A whole new world. She finally found happiness. Cheers to you, Lindsey. If you really read through all of that, thanks. Wow this is a long comment.

This has got to be one of my top favorite songs by Lindsey, if not THE top. And Lzzy is freaking insanely amazing with her vocals... Always. Her range is mind-blowing just in this piece alone. But the grit and push when she sings "Shatter me" & then again in the bridge gives me goosebumps every single time I put this song on... Which is a lot. These two need to do some more collabs bc they compliment one another so perfectly.

@gracem7967

@michaelf9664

1y↑6

100% with you on the compliments. This song has long been a favorite for my kids and me and my sister and her kids discovered it independently. It's just amazing.
That said, not sure they should regularly collab--part of Lindsey's talent and artistic integrity is developing her works organically from start to finish. Yeah, she uses her contacts, but it's about what fits the piece. I trust that if she develops another track that's good for Lzzy's vocals, Lindsey would make the right call.

Everytime I watch this I catch more and more details. I absolutely love how it goes from the ballerina being content only to see something beautiful and tries, too early, too soon, and in the wrong way, to get there. And how she wakes up the second time, the way her head shakes like she's not ready. And the bat showing it might be scary out here, but as the butterfly, shows it's still beautiful despite the fear. How the ballerina uses her own strength (the violin) to escape, despite how it appears the cracking in her skin is painful and terrifying. How her stance changes from the static perfect pose to something more dynamic. The moment she hesitates, hand to her cheek, as if she thinks she can go back to the safety that is killing her... And deciding to shatter instead, showing a less than perfect person underneath but free. Dancing as she wants to. And finally seeing the outside world as it is

I really freaking love the symbolism in this video.

I don’t know if this is the main intention, but the way I see it is that the ballerina represents someone who is in an abusive or unhealthy situation. She desperately wants to be free, but the glass is keeping her in; she knows breaking it will set her free, but has also been convinced that it will keep her safe, so she stays.

When she sees the bat, I believe she’s realizing how this situation has affected her perception of the outside world. And at the end she finally does break free, which takes a lot of courage, because sometimes it’s easier to stay in what you know, even when you know it is unhealthy.

Idk why I felt like commenting this lol

I just saw Lindsey in concert and it was INCREDIBLE. There's actually such a deep story behind this:

Lindsey struggled with body image and anorexia for years... She constantly was trying to be perfect and was killing herself inside but tried to appear content (the porcelain ballerina). She realized that perfection was suffocating her and she'd have to break out, even if it meant cracking through years of work for perfection, in order to be happy and free.(:

I love your music nowadays you don't find many artists that play from the heart. Each of your song have a story behind them. I personally like shatter me, roundtable rival and hallelujah. Thank you for playing, don't let what others think change, use your music to change people for the good.

Still breaking out of glass ceiling thought patterns from my upbringing.. Some abuse is more insidious simply because of it's subtlety. I love the part where the butterfly goes past and then you realize that it's actually a bat. I feel like there are subtle forms of abuse of religion or abuse of parental power that can create such confusion. When you look at it in one moment you think it's lovely and beautiful and then as you stare at it longer you realize that it's not, that it's an illusion created to keep you quiet. And then she goes up to punch and crack the glass and stops herself. I really relate to that because anytime I try to break out of some of that fear (i.e. fear of God, fear of love withdrawal) I feel afraid that I'm bad and giving in to anger and that it's not true and that I need to believe the lovely perfectionistic ideas. Then I feel depressed because I know that I'm suppressing the truth and that I actually feel trapped. It is a difficult task to shatter the denial and coping patterns built in childhood to protect you when you were defenseless. As an adult you can break free but it means getting in touch with what was too painful to face as a child. Subtle abuse, not letting you have a voice as a child, it brings up such frightening feelings of rage and pain! We want to stay in the bubble at first... But trusting you can still survive outside is the truth. Breaking free.. One hit, one conscious act, one shifted paradigm at a time.... It's a process.

+LadyLullaby INFJ First off, well said. It's a common theme in Anime but not really brought into the mainstream of western media, and when it is it's usually misinterpreted or un-recognised. It is as you say the subtle abuse that gets overlooked and often lacking understanding. Tbh, and I'm not 100% as to why but this song always reminds me of Aigis from Persona 3. I know I'm trailing off but wanted to say well said. Edit; said eastern when meant western

+Stuart Haram Ok you mention subtle abuse,now what if is self abuse,that happens ,let's say a millennia would that make if hard to break out of the repetiveness of self abuse,thus trying to shatter the past and living with regrets? Many of our problems and or situations can be of our own making,or design

@stuartharam1742

True, and a fair point. It's fair to say the song has different meanings depending on the listener. It's always good to see all perspectives.

This song has been a pivotal song in my young adult life as a self made dancer and musician. The feels are unavoidable. Thank you to both of the beautiful and powerfully driven women, for this masterpiece.
