I think what they are saying is to go over the lyric and
remove any line that could be said to be "padding" i.e., cutting the fat from the meat. Ask yourself, does this line add to the song, or is it just a filler line? Sure, your melody is pretty much going a certain way, so you'll
need to rewrite the line so that it's not padding, filler, etc. A lyric
should have single idea, and every line should bolster, further along, add to that idea, until the end.
I think that's what they are saying. When you do this,
your lyric will have more impact.

"The great thing about a dream come true, is that it is born with a great appetite. That appetite keeps it growing and evolving and it swallows up all those other dreams you have and spits them back out as reality as well." -Brian Austin Whitney
