We must think of song lyrics as a series of concise cohesive summary statements linked together to paint a very vivid picture in the listeners mind. If we’re depending on a music video to fill in the gaps, then we are using video as a crutch. I feel there is a magic phrase for each line of the song, and we have to attack creating that phrase from every angle until we have the continuity needed to pull the listener into the song.
