Not really, Nico. I'm just adding my $0.02 to the ongoing cliche wisdom. We hear them all the time in hits but on closer look we find music so strong that the cliche gets by. OR we find an artist so strong that he/she gets his/her own cliche-riddled song cut.
Speaking from the heart is the absolutely best thing to do...on the first draft. Then crafting cuts in. Develop the hook, find the unique ways to say the same thing, etc...
But it's ultimately a song, not a lyric. If the music is so f**king strong that it can envigorate cliches, well...
