Looks like they are from Taiwanese Hokkien songs?

反淺 “hòan-chhéⁿ” meaning "deep" (literally "against shallow")

"為著癡心送欺騙 ui tioh tshi sim sang khi phian" means "cheated out of foolish heart"

Yes, it's taken from a Hokkien song. I am surprised that there are no other experts here in this forum until you came.

Why did they use 反淺 instead of 深 ?

I've never seen this phrase in mandarin or cantonese films before. Is it a classical chinese word ?
