Are these good lyrics or not?

What do you make of this song by Natasha Bedingfield that I've heard a lot on the radio recently? Is it too self-consciously "artistic" or does it actually have something to say about the life of an artist?

E.g., the recurring build-up to the chorus uses a few too many cliches for my taste. Make up your mind: is it far away or not?

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin

On the other hand, I found this section to be rather insightful:

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes

I view blogging itself as an attempt to undermine that conditioning and just start writing. What do you think?
