To follow up what I said there, I remember storyteller Dan Keding saying that, when telling a story, the most effectve way is often to leave out the details. So instead of "A tall man in a brown coat and spectacles walked slowly through a pine forest ...", you say "There was a man, and he was walking in a wood..." The listener puts in the details you kleve out, they put in the man who is in their head.

That can work in songs too. Sometimes.
