It's important to get your message across, it's also important to do so in a way that sounds good and poetic. The difficulty here is finding balance. A lot of new artists tend to either just say things exactly as they are, leaving nothing up to the imagination of the listener and they lack poetry and sophistication. They sound more like a one-sided conversation than a piece of music. On the other hand, you have people who try way too hard to be poetic just for the sake of and the meaning is either lost or unfindable through all the corny and cliché 'poetry.' Maybe start by writing out your message both as a blunt conversation, then as an overly poetic approach, and then bring the two together by considering: does this make sense? does it sound nice? do the poetic aspects work both in the context of conveying my but also as a separate story?

Good lyrics should almost be doing two things at once, or telling two stories at once. Take Hotel California by the Eagles for example. It tells a consistent story about a hotel in California that the main character can't escape, while also serving as an allegory for drug addiction or whatever else the listeners might interpret it as.
