I expect a little more from my music and song lyrics - imagery, symbolism, a moving or meaningful turn of phrase. I don't get any of that from the lyrics above. Therefore: pedestrian. He could have worked a whole lot harder on those lyrics and come up with something better, but I'd guess that's not this lyric writer's forte and most of the other songs this person writes are pedestrian, too.

I get what you're saying. It definitely feels like the lyrics could've used more depth or creativity. Sometimes, the raw emotion comes through, but without the extra layer of artistry, it can come across as a bit flat. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in music sometimes simple works, but other times you want something that really makes you think.
