Theory: Shallow was written for LG6

[bloody g 31,731]

Hello fellow liddos.

I bring you a theory I came up with while I took a shower last night.

For those who don't know my theories are known for being a reach and a mess so fasten your seatbelts 

While both verses from Shallow are obviously written for the movie, the chorus just seems off. I can't get over it. I understand it is a metaphor, but I just don't see how this song talks about Ally and Jackson.

There are two common theories about the lyrics chorus:

1- The first theory says that it talks about Ally breaking through as an artist. I just don't see it. Why would Ally, someone who doesn't have faith in herself, write about herself like that? Also it says "we" so it's clearly not about just herself.

2- Written about both Jackson and Ally. This would only make sense if "shallow" was used as it's literal meaning and create some sort of "pun" with breaking through the surface. You know, because Jackson loves Ally no matter how she looks like, so he is far from shallow. Isn't it too complex? I know 

Both seem off to me. However, I saw the little marmaid yesterday and remembered all the octopuses and mermaid emoji's in Gaga's IG stories. And thinking about Shallow's lyrics it all matches. Shallow is actually about herself, about Lady Gaga. She uses the metaphor as she sees herself embodying a mermaid.

When she says "I'll never meet the ground", it can be taken as it is, bc she lives in the water.

Moreover, if you change the lyrics to make it singular (since obv there's no Jackson in LG6), the chorus would go like this:

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 me
I'm far from the shallow now

It sounds even better, since me now rhymes with in.

The lyrics are now about Gaga protecting herself under the surface (her persona) in order to not meet the ground (reality).

Also, Shallow has the "Sha-ha sha-low" which are extremely common in Gaga's biggest pop hits like: ra-ra-roma-ma, po-po-po-poker face, ale-ale-jandro, juda-juda-as (etc )

This mumbling never shows again in other ASIB song (besides Why Did You Do That?, but she repeats words, not syllabes), so it's clearly not Ally's style of writing songs.

What do you think?

I think I shouldn't spend my little free time in writing essays in Gaga's forum

Gaga said that her and Robson wrote Shallow through the perspective of Ally, so nah lol

no because it is essential in my theory that the illuminati wanted to make ally miserable so the most worst thing they could do is actually not killing ally but killing the one she treasured the most

We already know it's not  So why wasting your energy 

[Bio 23,538]

It was actually written for LG9

[Max Vandeburg 6,966]

Aparently that chorus is a reference to the film's original script. Mark Ronson has talked about it recently:

“Gaga was writing from the standpoint of Ally as an end credit song, because in the original script Bradley’s character drowns,” said co-writer Mark Ronson. But somehow Bradley decided that they were going to work it into the script as a duet. It’s a really good song that the movie turned into a really great song, and that’s the best you can hope for.”

No,it was written for the movie, during the Joanne album writings in 2016, I believe.

[AlexanderMagno 10,746]

We know it was written for the music, specifically for the last scene, so don’t waste your imagination here.
