Use another set of offsets:

\version "2.17.95"
#(set-global-staff-size 14)
\paper { ragged-right = ##t tagline = "" #(set-paper-size "a8") }

\relative { a'1^"default" ~ |\break a4 }

\relative {
  a'1^"randomly changed shape"
  -\shape #'(((0 . -2) (0 . 0) (0 . 2) (0 . 4))
             ((0 . -2) (0 . 0) (0 . 2) (0 . 4)))
  ~ |\break a4^"and here it's changed as well"
}

This is mentioned in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/modifying-shapes
- is that example not clear enough?  How should we improve it?

best,
