Hi,
Every ones loves crystal clear windows. When you look through them everything is sharper, more vibrant in color and crystal clear.
Your lyrics should be exactly the same.
Sharp, vibrant in color and crystal clear!
You should NEVER have to explain what your song is all about before people review your song.
That job belongs to your songs lyrics!
If your lyrics are crystal clear then you have no reason to explain your song to ANYONE before we the listener click on it.
The listener should get it in one. If they don't then re write and re write it until they do.

I fundamentally disagree with everything you have written in this post. I think you need to take a step back and really have a look at what you have just written.
I am the Walrus. What was that about? Furthermore,does it matter?
The Jean Genie. Ditto.
First We Take Manhattan.
Any Tom Waits song.
Any Grateful Dead song.
Most modern pop songs.
Here are the lyrics from a song currently in 'finished songs'. Are you telling us all this is rubbish because it's not literal?
___Nobody Wants To Work That Hard___
it'll take a while before it gets into my blood
I'll bide my time until it's written in stone
run with the devil like y'know that y'should
and I'll find a way out o' here on my own
describe one's colours to the willingly blind
reluctantly shines my one n' only star
too many lovers with whom to invest my time
when nobody ever wants to work that hard
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever wants to work that hard
You want to shut down before making a start
nobody ever wants to work that hard
nobody ever wants to work that hard
after crying salty tears I blow my nose
I've been kicking up the leaves in Paisley Park
they arrested me with their dos and their don'ts
this time, "looking for relief long after dark"
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever really wants to work
nobody ever wants to work that hard
there's a carpet of leaves out in the yard
nobody ever wants to work that hard
nobody ever wants to work that hard
nobody ever wants to work that hard
