As already said, it depends uniquely of the author. I think that writing is practice as well, is reading a lot and it is about feeling. Take your lines above and put them in a killer melody and guitar line and you'll be a great success. Thanks for join us here at AGF !

You are correct with a lot of songs. On the other hand, success can depend on the lyrics as well. There are thousands of three-chord country and pop songs that depend solely on the lyrics to "sell them."
An example would be a crossover country-pop song like "Margaritaville." Pretty simple song, simple arrangement using basically three chords....mega hit.
