Shallow Lyrics

This song seems to describe a man whose love left him because he wasn't good enough for her. She seems to be more interested in glamour ("watching cars, movies, stars"). He feels incomplete without her ("all that I am is half what we are").

The tone of the music shows that the narrator still holds hope for his future with her. He thinks that eventually, he'll "get it right" and they can be together again. It's like he's describing a relationship that has splits over petty things that he feels he can fix.

I enjoy the harmonies and peaceful sound of this song. It illustrates that he's certain that eventually everything will be fine.
