Since coming into the rock scene, Shallow Side has released a little of everything - including several EPs, a full-length album, plus a number of assorted cover songs and singles. All their music since 2006 has come out under Thermal Entertainment whom is also their management.
Their EP, ONE spurred three radio singles: "Rebel", "Renegade" (a powerful Styx cover) and "Can You Hear Me?" that began to get them noticed and earned them the title of Loudwire's 'Best New Artist of the Year'. In 2019, the band released their first full-length album SAINTS & SINNERS which contained their most streamed-song to date, "Sound The Alarm".
Their extensive music catalog has now surpassed more than 30 million streams globally, and their music videos have eclipsed 13.5 million views on their YouTube channel.

Shallow Side Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd like to see you naked
Strip down and show me who you really are
I want your secrets and band aids
Never mind the tattoos covering your heart
When you speak just speak directly
When you come just come correctly
There's no time that's running out
Why don't we run from the edge there's no one stopping us now
Makes no difference
Oh and it makes no difference
(Sound the alarm)
(Sound the alarm)
All eyes are set upon you
A choice move follow forward your path
Place your [?] on a virtue
There's a chance there's nothing following that
When you speak just speak directly
What you want just point it out
When you come just come correctly
There's no time that's running out
Why don't we run from the edge there's no one stopping us now
Makes no difference
Oh and it makes no difference
(Sound the alarm)
(Sound the alarm)
(Sound the alarm)
(Sound the alarm)
When you speak just speak directly
What you want just point it out
When you come just come correctly
There's no time that's running out
Why don't we run from the edge there's no one stopping us now
Makes no difference
Oh and it makes no difference
(Sound the alarm)

I'd like to see you naked

I'd like to see you strip down and show me who you really are
The song Sound the Alarm by Shallow Side seems to be an invitation to someone to show their true self without any pretenses or cover-ups. The lyrics suggest that the person should let their guard down, strip down and expose their secrets and vulnerabilities. The phrase 'strip down' is a metaphor for getting rid of one's emotional baggage and revealing their true self. The singer is asking the person to communicate directly, without any hints or hidden meaning, and make their intentions clear. They are emphasizing that there's no time to waste and that they should act upon their feelings before it's too late.
The song also seems to be about taking risks and not being afraid to move forward in life. The line 'Why don't we run from the edge there's no one stopping us now, makes no difference' suggests that the person should take the leap and go for it. There may be risks involved, but it's better to take action than stay in one place, regretting not doing anything. The repeated phrase 'Sound the alarm' may be interpreted as a call to action or a wake-up call for the person to take control of their life and make bold decisions.
Overall, Sound the Alarm by Shallow Side appears to be a plea for honesty, authenticity and courage. The song encourages the listener to embrace their true self, communicate honestly, and take risks without fear of failure.
