SHALLOW — The Song Dedicated To My Old Self And Soul
I knew I’d reach the shallow sea again and claim my victory.

I’m falling into the deep sea
I can’t swim
I can only keep kicking my legs
Hoping to get up to the shallow
And back onto the beach
However, this is of no use
I still keep sinking and sinking
As though it’s bottomless
My feet can’t seem to reach the ground
My surrounding is getting darker and darker
I’m getting further and further away from the shallow
I’m in the very deep of the sea now
But why haven’t I reached the bottom yet?
I haven’t fallen deep and hard enough yet?
Does this signify that I would be falling hard and long?
Yes, I was right
Everything played out and unfolded as per this dream
Until I reached the very deep bottom of the sea
Then only I sprang up toward the surface of the sea
When I reached the shallow
And saw the daylight again, finally
Shallow by Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper
Shallow: Tell me something, girl
Me: Yes? And my old soul replies simultaneously
Shallow: Are you happy in this modern world?
Me: No, I’m not happy
Shallow: Or do you need more?
Me: Yes, I definitely need more!
Shallow: Is there something else you’re searchin’ for?
Me: Yes! Plenty!
Shallow: I’m falling Yes！
Me: I am！
Shallow: In all the good times, I find myself longin’ for change
Me: Yes, I'm longing for the change of my bad times to the good times
Shallow: And in the bad times, I fear myself
Me: Yes, I fear that the bad times will never end
Shallow: I’m off the deep end, watch as I dive in
Me: Watch as I energetically get off the deep water even though I’m still sinking
Shallow: I’ll never meet the ground
Me: Even though I’m still sinking and haven’t touched the bottom yet
Shallow: Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us
Me: But I’ll keep trying till I crash the surface of the sea, where the karma can’t hurt us anymore, I’m telling my soul
Shallow: We’re far from the shallow now
Me: Even though we’re still far from the shallow part of the sea — we’re still in deep water(serious trouble). But it doesn’t matter, our grit and endurance will help us through. We WILL reach the shallow eventually. Nothing can beat grit and endurance, not even the ever-powerful and revered karma.
Parting words
This is my personal interpretation of this song, sung by the very powerful voices of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. It evokes a deep sense of emotion buried in the deepest depth of my soul. It signifies the struggle of my emotional difficulties throughout the years till its recent triumph.
It resonates so well with a dream I had during my younger years when I first encountered a major setback in life. Deep down in my heart, I knew that I would get back to the shallowed sea and crash the surface of the ocean and see the daylight again — the day I won the battle and emerged as the victor.
This song means different things to different people. Does it mean something to you?
