Great points, Annie.
I think it’s a lot about finding the right language, the right ‘pitch’ for each song. In some songs more familiar lyrics work, others need a fresher approach… depending on the genre, the style… the song.
Best wishes,.

I suspect sometimes we don’t go beyond clichés because digging deeper — into our own lives — can be uncomfortable. The discomfort of digging deeper in a lyric is only temporary. Later, the song will have a life of its own and chances are that no one will ask whether it’s actually about your life.

I’m glad you said clichés can be good. So many brilliant titles use a cliché but in a way that pays off.
