Aloha,
This photo was shot at about 8 in the morning on Waikiki Beach. There are no obvious signs of life, but if you look closely, you may see some. The sky and water are blue because their oxygen refracts sunlight at the blue wavelength. Although we can't see the sun or the oxygen, we can sense its result by the presence of blue. The clouds are white because they hold water, which refracts all colors of sunlight. This photo "implies" the presence of life.
This idea is also true in lyric writing. Writers concoct images, offer a sense of story, and deliver emotion with simple words. We don't "see" all the ingredients, but we can sense the "life" of the story. Enjoy!

Tell Your Story
Learn the language, learn it well
Oh! the stories you will tell
Don't you worry, don't be shy
Your life may end, but you won't die
Learn the language!
Learn the language, learn it well
Tell your story and tell it well
Burn your anguish, it may sell
Learn the language, learn it well
Learn the Language!
Strip to essential, plot your plot
Get a hook make a book,why not
Chart a few memorable lines
You're the one who makes it shine
Learn the language!

That What You Want?
You left it there, that ringing in my head
Do you care? Am I better off dead?
Thought I bought it then I heard a cheer
Really got me how you took me there
You sing your jaunt with a stinging taunt
You ring this haunt and spring your daunt
That what you want?
There you go, singing for praise
With eyebrows raised, all the craze
Sing your song, they sing along
Your little jaunt in the places you haunt
Get out there don't beware
They may care, anybody there?
Your sound is what they really want
A little jaunt with a stinging taunt.
Go out there!

I love this picture. The beach is always the most beautiful early in the morning. the clouds are nice too. did the ocean inspire a metaphor in tell your story? plot, hook, chart, all seem like sailing terms to me.
