Shallow
Grey Lyrics

If insides were out and outsides were in
If characteristics were reversed and the exterior reflected the interior

All could be seen and everyone would win, except you Because you're shallow and you're thin
Transparency would allow everyone to understand one another, but your lack of depth and substance would still result in your loss

If downsides were up and upsides were down
If negative aspects became positive and vice versa

Balance wouldn't exist and all would be missed, except you Because you're shallow as a clown
Stability would disappear and you would still be lacking in depth

Change is hard to do and change is all around And what it doesn't do for you, just can't be found Not in this town
Transforming oneself is difficult but crucial, and those who resist will never find what they are missing, especially in this place

If sideways were straight and upright were twisted
If what is expected were different and what is unconventional were normal

All would be sure and everyone uplifted, except you Because you're in the shallow end
Clarity would exist and others would benefit, but your lack of depth prevents you from experiencing this improvement

If the truth were lies and all the lies were wishes
If deception became reality and desires became unfulfilled promises

All would be a dream and everyone deceived, except you Because you're such simplicity
Reality would become fanciful and everyone would be misled, but your lack of complexity makes you immune to this confusion
