Shatter

**"Shatter"** is the fourth track featured in Dreamcatcher's 9th Mini Album, *"VillainS"*.

## Description

### English

It represents the "self" that has been deprived of its freedom and is being turned to stone by Medusa. It suggests that the oppressed self is as good as dead, and that if someone breaks it, it will disappear or be liberated. Based on the narrative, the song highlights the lyrics of someone who would rather ask the birds to take them up to the sky, followed by the the 'self' turning to stone in despair and finally not being able to speak.

### Korean

자유를 빼앗긴 ‘자신’이 메두사로 인해 돌이 되어가는 것을 표현했다. 억압된 나는 죽은 것이나 다름없고, 차라리 이런 나를 누군가 부숴준다면 사라지거나, 해방되는 두 가지 선택지를 가지게 됨을 암시한다. 해당 스토리를 토대로, 차라리 새에게 자신을 물어다 하늘에 올려 달라 절규하는 가사와 절망 끝에 결국 돌이 되어버린 ‘자신’이 끝내 말을 잇지 못한 채 마무리되는 가사가 포인트이다.

Bewitching me like magic
Towards the extravagance, the sweetness
I couldn’t turn a blind eye

And the stiffened body eventually
Because of you standing in front of me
It will be the beginning or the end

Take a step closer to me
Wrap me in your warmth
Before all my senses disappear
