Just tell your stories. This is a message to all our wonderful students who are agonizing trying to create deep and meaningful songs. Narrative is a lot like music theory.
You don’t always need to assign meaning to your stories. The story has meaning if it wants to be told and your listener may be just as happy to assign their own meaning rather than have you hit them over the head with it. You don’t have to put it there anymore than you have to put the music theory in the music.
Chances are it’s already there.
