Tell me something, girl Are you happy in this modern world? Oh, do you need more? Is there something else you're searching for? A void In all the good times I find myself longing For change And in the bad times I fear myself Tell me something, boy Aren't you tired trying to fill that void? Or do you need more? Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore? I'm falling. In all the good times I find myself longing for change And in the bad times I fear myself Um, the day Watch as I dive in the ground Crash through the silence Where they can't hurt us We're born from the shallow now In the shadows Yeah. Oh, oh, oh. In the shallow, shallow, we're far from the shallow now. Oh Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah I did Watch as I dive in You made the ground Crack through the silence Where they can't hurt us We're far from the shallow now In the shadow, shadow In the sh - sh - la - la - la In the shallow, shallow, we're far from the shallow now.
This song seems to be about two people having a conversation, perhaps about their feelings of dissatisfaction or longing for something more in life. There is a sense of a search for a deeper meaning and a desire to move away from the 'shallow' aspects of their existence.
