Shallow hits me in the first line of tell me something girl, are you happy in this modern world. Reminds me of the crazy cycle of young and beautiful after watching The Great Gatsby.
At the end of the movie, Ally became Jack, surpassed Jack, and it was also the moment when Jack was going to be destroyed. It seems that the madness of genius is something that ordinary people like me can understand.
And the last sentence of Gatsby's book: So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
It can be seen that love is really a bright and moving but heartbreaking thing.

Shallow
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in,
I'll never meet the ground,
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us,
We're far from the shallow now.
Young and beautiful
I've seen the world,
Done it all, had my cake now,
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Air now,
Hot summer nights mid July,
When you and I were forever wild,
The crazy days, the city lights,
The way you'd play with me like a child,
Will you still love me,
when I'm no longer young and beautiful,
Will you still love me,
when I got nothing but my aching soul.
