Lady Gaga - Shallow Meaning

Song Released: 2018
Shallow Lyrics
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself
Tell...

First impression of the song is that the couple is diving deep into love.
-
A lot of people have said that The Shallows in Lady Gaga's song refers to people wanting/needing to be deeper, form deeper relationships.
While I agree with that meaning (the song refers to being empty/needing more); I think the characters may also be referring to safety. "The Shallows" to sailors are areas where the water is not deep enough for safe navigation. Diving into the deep feels like safety to me -- as opposed to wrecking in the shallow waters. -
I have no clue, but would like to know what “the shallow” means.
