Shallow
Danielle Bradbery Lyrics

Tell me somethin', girl
Can you share with me how you’re feeling?

Are you happy in this modern world?
Does this society fulfill you?

Or do you need more?
Is there something you're lacking from your life?

Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
Are you on the hunt for something else?

I'm fallin'
I am in the midst of an emotional descent

In all the good times
Even during moments of positivity

I find myself longing for change
I desire a transformation

And in the bad times, I fear myself
During moments of negativity, I am afraid of my own emotions and actions

Tell me something, boy
May I inquire about your emotions?

Aren't you tired tryna fill that void?
Are you exhausted from attempting to fill an emotional gap?

Or do you need more?
Is there something else you require?

Ain't it hard keepin' it so hardcore?
Isn't it difficult to maintain such a tough exterior?

I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I am taking a leap into the unknown

I'll never meet the ground
There is no way to predict the outcome

Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us
Breaking through to a place where pain cannot reach us

We're far from the shallow now
We have gone beyond the surface level

In the sha-ha, sha-la-low
In the shallow waters

In the sha-sha-la-la-la-low
In the quiet and mundane existence

In the sha-ha, sha-ha-ha-low
In the world that is only surface-level

We're far from the shallow now
But now, we are beyond that
