“Off the deep end” usually means something risky or uncertain. However, the “shallow” is usually not too deep or emotionally meaningful. However again... the shallow is usually a safe place to be in with no risk of drowning. Often, love songs or songs in general have a dichotomy of two contradictory concepts existing concurrently. Lady Gaga is saying she wants to break free from the mundane, day to day life. She is “Off the deep end,” exploring new ideas. But, she is also “far from the shallow... where they can’t hurt us.” There is no consequence of being injured because the water in the deep end is enough not to “meet the ground.” Nevertheless, the final outro repeats, “in the shallow, shallow,” because she is reiterating that she may be scared of change and she is precautious not to jump into anything too quickly. Thus, in the safety of the shallow and yearning to break free, yet also off the deep end to explore new ideas all the while, in a safe environment and with good intentions. Thank you.
"Shallow" can relate to many instances in life, such as trying a new hobby, starting a new job, or moving to a new state. For me, when I hear the song, I instantly think of my husband. He came into my life right after a heartbreak, but with just one conversation, I knew I wanted to be with him because he was different than others. Although, I was facing a fear of being hurt again, as Lady Gaga sings "I find myself longing for change" and I chose to dive off the deep end.
The beautiful lyrics and runs from Lady Gaga rip through your core and inspire you to conquer any fears you have. Seven years later with my husband and I haven't taken even a glance back to my shallow areas of heartbreak.
