Nice. Excellent job at getting the point across (and a nice lyric, too)! It is so easily overlooked because we as writers assume our audiences know what we're singing about, when they don't have a clue unless we tell them!

Another way that this technique may be described, all writers out there, is 'tension and release', creating tension by leading up to the chorus and then delivering the release, the hook.

Becoming a great guitarist has less to do with fancy moves than it does becoming a master of the basics and learning musicianship.
It's not what you can't do. It's how you play what you already know.
