Then frankly, it's not possible to be not cliche

Singing about cancer, even as a metaphor or symbolism, AT ALL, is automatically a cliche? Just because they simply speak about an element that is commin within a cliche does not mean that they, themselves are cliche.

Even so it's totally irrelevant because the lyrics you posted were English
I didn't post the english lyrics to show you they weren't cliche I posted the english lyrics to show that they are more articulate, even in thier second language, than american artists are in thier first.

You claimed they were cliche after that despite only seeing a small minority of thier lyrics
