We propose \textit{two-level decorrelated coding} (TLDC), a novel coded modulation scheme for the $D_4$ lattice that combines Voronoi shaping with a two-stage decoding process to achieve lattice shaping and coding gains at low complexity. In TLDC, the decoded values of the first level allow the several random variables in the second level to become approximately uncorrelated. The resulting independence of the variables in level two permits decoding in parallel or consolidation into a larger codeword, enhancing performance. TLDC supports flexible choice of FEC within each level. Using bit-interleaved or multi-level polar codes at each level, the resulting coded modulation scheme exhibits a gain of up to 0.5 dB over analogous state-of-the-art coded modulation schemes on a 16-QAM under AWGN at block sizes of 64 and 1024 bits.
