Here is one key to writing poetry or song lyrics. Have a theme. Before you write anything down, figure out what you want to say and have a point behind what you say. Also, it helps to be subtle and abstract with what you are trying to say. Don't explicitly state your theme but layer it with an implied message. Maynard of Tool is great at this.
To me, lyrics can take good music and ruin it or make it great.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
