Magic Mike 2,734 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I think the “shallow” is the ordinary, unproductive, (self)hurtful things, environments, people and thoughts. So when they meet, gaga and cooper,they are far from that place, that void Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopega 3,732 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 its about suicide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankenztein 1,172 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 In an earlier draft of the ASIB script Jackson Maine was going to die via drowning instead of the way he ended up dying in the final movie. I think that Shallow may have been written as an end credit song before the script was changed. So the song would have played right after Jackson drowned. I believe the chorus is using ocean/drowning imagery because the song was written about his death (I've always felt that the song is really about suicide). It became a love song when it was later re-contextualized in the movie. That's the impression I get from it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen 30,423 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I think it's about falling in love. Taking the leap of faith to trust someone, it can be scary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a pretty direct metaphor comparing falling in love to jumping into deep water. The only lyric that doesn't fit that is "I'll never meet the ground" but maybe the ground is the shore? and you have to pass through the shallows to get to the shore so since you're...far from the shallow(s) you'll never meet the ground She wants Jackson's bad romance, basically and his country music star d 🌸Flourishing and vibrant🌼 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
