I love singing this song. I’ve loved it since the first day it came out. It brings out my deepest desires, the allowance of giving myself a chance towards a new life that is filled with true love, joy and happiness.
The movie itself is sad, kind of like the movie “Leaving Las Vegas” with Nicholas Cage. Once again dealing with fear, despair and addiction.
The lyrics and the melody though are so beautiful. It speaks of hope and taking a leap of faith into the unknown, armed with nothing except for the love for one another. This is the soulmate type of love, or the twin-flame type of love, when the two halves of the twin flames finally reunite and become one ~ an unconditional, everlasting true love. I long for that…
Shallow
~ Lady Gaga
Tell me somethin’, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin’ else you’re searchin’ for?
I’m fallin’
In all the good times I find myself longin’ for change
And in the bad times, I fear myself
Tell me something, boy
Aren’t you tired tryin’ to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain’t it hard keepin’ it so hardcore?
I’m falling
In all the good times I find myself longing for change
And in the bad times, I fear myself
I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-llow
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow
We’re far from the shallow now
Oh, ha-ah-ah
Ah, ha-ah-ah, oh, ah
Ha-ah-ah-ah
I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I’ll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us
We’re far from the shallow now
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow
In the sha-ha-sha-la-la-la-llow
In the sha-ha-sha-ha-llow
We’re far from the shallow now
